Does anybody know about a good Ogg Vorbis tag reading tool? I need a command line utility to read tag information from Ogg Vorbis files, as a part of GNU Songanizer. I am in a hurry since without this, GNU Songanizer will only have MP3 support and I do not know the GNU Project's official policy regarding this till I receive an answer from RMS. If anybody can help it would be really great.
Well, ogginfo will give you the info / tags about ogg vorbis as well as ogg theora files.
Yes, I came across it too. :)
Regarding mp3 files, the mp3 codec in patented, but ID3 is not. Though it's OK to read ID3 tags from mp3 files, it's better if you entirely drop support for mp3 in your tool.
Do not take it otherwise, but I would wait for RMS' opinion on this issue. There are a few GNU packages which flaunt MP3 support too.
