Fix bad tagging with script

Issue #108 new
Gfy repo owner created an issue

Automate the repairing techniques described on http://rescene.wikidot.com/tutorial-mp3-cleanup with a script.

  • Many old mp3 files (< 2004) had only 2 tags: lyrics and id3v1. If it has id3v2, just remove it. You can use Mp3tag for this.
  • If the CRC doesn't match already, check whether the lyrics tag has Title, Album or Artist set. If so, add a space character at the end of the id3v1 of Title, Album or Artist. Even if there is no lyrics tag, just add a space to Album.
  • Very often some retaggers made spaces after the comment in the id3v1 tag and Mp3tag deleted this.
  • Very often retaggers change 0x20 to 0x00 or vice versa. See also Liquids.MP3.Hex.Tutorial.V1.0.eBOOK-LS
