I want a simple command line tool running on Windows Xp(or even cross platform) similar in functionality to Mp3tag to edit mp3 ID3 tags. I mostly want to organize my music according to artist , genre etc so a lightweight tool which can ask the user which tag to edit and then change all the mp3 files' tags in a directory will be good. Can I use perl to do this?
A:
yes indeed, you can use Perl to do it. (as well as other languages with such modules support). Search CPAN for ID3 tag modules.

Sure you can; see Is there a Perl or Python library for ID3 metadata?.

I just found the most powerful combination for doing this kind of work from a console: PowerShell and TagLib#.
Found it at http://huddledmasses.org/editing-media-tags-from-powershell/
It works like a charm!
