...
Or with tab separators instead of commas if you give the -t
option., (*3)
It reads from standard input by default and writes to dtandard output, or you may specify files:, (*4)
labeler [-t] [in [out]]
-t use tab separators rather than commas
in input file name, or - for for stdin
out output file name, or - for for stdout
It is very slow, using one search and two lookups in Musicbrainz
for each item., (*5)
Sometimes it can’t find the item in Musicbrainz and sometimes Musicbrainz doesn't have the label
for the item., (*6)
