pytagdump is a simple utility to print the ID3/tag info of various files supported by the "mutagen" package.

Installation

To install, simply:

pip install pytagdump

• You'll need to have Python 2.5+ and pip installed.
• You might have to be root (or use sudo) for pip to install the script into a globally executable directory in your $PATH.
• For JSON output support, make sure you have at least Python v2.6 (or install the simplejson package for Python v2.5).

• Optonally, you can use pip's setuptools extras syntax to have either (or both) of these packages automatically installed for you. e.g. pip install pytagdump[JSON,YAML]
