# id3mux

This element adds ID3v2 tags to the beginning of a stream, and ID3v1 tags to the end.

It defaults to writing ID3 version 2.3.0 tags (since those are the most widely supported), but can optionally write version 2.4.0 tags.

Applications can set the tags to write using the GstTagSetter interface. Tags sent by upstream elements will be picked up automatically (and merged according to the merge mode set via the tag setter interface).

## Example pipelines

     gst-launch-1.0 -v filesrc location=foo.ogg ! decodebin ! audioconvert ! id3mux ! filesink location=foo.mp3

A pipeline that transcodes a file from Ogg/Vorbis to mp3 format with ID3 tags that contain the same metadata as the the Ogg/Vorbis file. Make sure the Ogg/Vorbis file actually has comments to preserve.

     gst-launch-1.0 -m filesrc location=foo.mp3 ! id3demux ! fakesink silent=TRUE

Verify that tags have been written.
