tagtool
Tagtool is a quick and easy-to-use tool for mass editing and cleaning metadata across your MP3 collection.
I wrote the initial version as a simple script that just worked. This tool later became an exercise in command line application design as I'd never done it before. It uses docopt (along with some hackery to allow sub-commands)

tagfix
Tagfix is a script that uses the available tagtool commands as building blocks and performs multiple cleaning operation on files in one pass. If you download music from sites like songspk and djmaza, this script is for you. It removes all mentions of these websites from the tags.
usage
# Fix tags of a single file
tagfix /path/to/file.mp3
# Fix tags of all files in a folder
tagfix /path/to/folder/*.mp3
# Fix tags of all files in a folder
# (this also recurses into subfolders)
# (but will only work if your shell supports 'recursive globbing')
# (zsh, fish etc. do)
tagfix /path/to/folder/**/*.mp3
