using the id3tool to edit MP3 file information

this example shows a process used to take MP3s from a download, rename them so they sort properly and have complete id3tag information.

id3tool process:
1) copy original mp3's into new directories, create  ##_AAA, cd ##_AAA; ls >> idAAA ; vi idAAA

 cp -r ../ORIGINAL-MP3s/58_Hebrews/ 58_HEB ; 
    cd 58_HEB ; 
    ls >> id3heb  

2) edit to  "mv" from old long name to new short name

    vi id3heb
    :%s/.*/mv & 58_00_Heb_&/g
   #    edit by removing the long previous name and add number for each track - using searches and replaces a tedious manual process... 

3) execute mv ; ls >> idAAA ; edit id3tool info saving old info behind #

     sh ./id3heb    #  (this renames all the files to the new, shorter file name)
     ls >> id3heb   #  appending to the file
     vi id3heb      
    :24,$s/.*/#  &/g          # first select all the original "mv" lines to the bottom, then comment them out

    :1,23s/.*/id3tool -t "&" -c Z -y 2018 -G "Speech" -a "Hebrews - Letters" -n "bridgechristianfellowshipcom" -r "Rick Crawford" &/g

4) execute id3tool info
    
     sh ./id3heb    #  (this updates all the id3tag information in files)
     id3tool *.mp3    #  check to see if it updated and didn't truncate, if it did, edit "id3heb" and execute again

5) mv id3tool script idAAA to  ../../ORIGINAL-BCF-MP3s/NOTES/

    mv id3heb ../../ORIGINAL-MP3s/NOTES/   
        #  save a copy of each script for the 66 directories to help identify proper time and sequence

6) scp -r NEW_DIR/ server:/web/bible/mp3 ; scp NEW_DIR/*.mp3 server:/web/BIBLE/MP3-ALL/    #  one method was to ssh and cp -r

7) repeat for all 66 books:  finished work:    http://johnmeister.com/BIBLE/BCF-MP3-ALL/
