Rather late, I would like to thank all folks who answered my question.

For the archives: I tried the proposed tools and settled on eyed3, 
proposed by Christoph. It was the only tool that supports both 1.x 
and 2.x ID3 tags.

The only nuisance is the command naming, eyeD3. Why the author 
chose to add an uppercase letter in a Unix command, is outside of 
my comprehension. ;-)

Thanks again for your help,

	Joachim
