Is anyone aware of a dos utility which can tag MP3 files from command line ?

I want to be able to encode and tag from a dos script without having to fire up tag&rename to complete the tagging process.

I dont think I can use the switches in LAME cause I am using --nogap to encode multiple wav's

I have googled this one like hell but no luck.

My suggestion would be to grab the source for a Unix command line id3 tagger, like ID3v2, and a compiler like DJGPP and compile it up. It should work just fine.

Edit: Alternately, install a copy of perl or python and write your own script to do it. You might be able to do the whole process within python or perl (I don't know how much you're doing beyond ripping and tagging). Or find one of the many perl or python scripts people have made available on the net.

The tag utility at http://www.ca5e.tk/ is exactly what i need - except it wont run on Windows XP !

Could this be worked around, or is there any other utility available which could do the job ?
