examples/retag/retag.c

/*
 * This example shows how to use interfaces and the tag subsystem.
 * It takes an mp3 file as input, and makes an ogg file out of it. While doing
 * this, it parses the filename and sets artist and title in the ogg file.
 * It assumes the filename to be "<artist> - <title>.mp3"
 *
 * Run the program as "retag <mp3 file>"
 *
 * To run this program, you need to have the gst-plugins package (specifically
 * the vorbis and mad plugins) installed.
