I just purchased an audio download of 36 tracks. No meta data, and my wife's flip phone needs meta data for sorting and such.
It is one thing to use VLC to fix the meta data on a single mp3 or 2 before transfering to her phone, but 36 is just a road too far.
So is there a decent program with Fedora that will let me easily set the meta data on these?
thanks

What is the encoding of the tracks? MP3? What meta data is required?

Id3tg is your friend. Install by "dnf install id3lib"
Thanks I will check it out.

I guess it was a little unclear.
mp3
Artist mimimally and track #. Title is unimportant as it is a storybook so all the titles are the same, just title followed by track # for sorting in her player.
I do this sort of thing regularly when it is 2 or 3 tracks with VLC editing of "Info". But as I said, 36 tracks is a bit much.
And when I have wav files that I convert to mp3, Audacity can kind of do the meta data, but I end up "touching things up" with VLC.

I installed it but no command id3tg.
What next?

Are you sure you installed the package? Look for /usr/bin/id3*
rpm -qf /usr/bin/id3tag id3lib-3.8.3-53.fc37.x86_64
$ ls /usr/bin/id3* /usr/bin/id3convert /usr/bin/id3cp /usr/bin/id3info /usr/bin/id3tag /usr/bin/id3v2

When I read this in the list, I see that the problem is a typo in the response by Frank.
