I read a couple articles here that requested the means for mp3tag to read writing library info/settings:
[Codec / Version](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/6677/1)
[show LAME Encoder settings](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/9014/1)
However, the banter was hung-up on "what is is" and "I don't need it so…." I am more interested in a solution.
1. My question is, first, to find whether mp3tag is able to display the codec library info and not just file format version/profile, as well as the settings used to create the audio file. For example for an MP3 file:
'CODEC: MPEG 1 Layer III'
'CODECLIB: LAME 3.99'
'CODECSETTINGS: -m j -V 2 -q 2 -lowpass 19 --vbr-old'.
2. If not, could the dev please include this function.
3. Also if not (to #1), does anyone know of another utility in windows that can scan a group of files for this info, and attach it to appropriate ID3 tag.
Thanks.
