Common Audiobook Plex Prep

Combine lots of mp3s into one file. They will be combined in alphabetical order so prepare the filenames ahead of time with leading zeros if needed (e.g. whatever-01.mp3 whatever-02.mp3 ... etc)

mp3wrap combined.mp3 origs/*


Strip out all the media track id3 tags from a file (useful after combining with mp3wrap)

id3convert -s file.mp3


Add media information to a single mp3 track. Here we're setting the ID3 tag for:

  • Track number -n
  • Author -a
  • Book Title -A
  • Track name -t

eyeD3 -n '1' -a 'Eric Schlosser' -A "Command and Control: Nuclear Weapons, the Damascus Accident, and the Illusion of Safety" -t "Command and Control: Nuclear Weapons, the Damascus Accident, and the Illusion of Safety" file.mp3
