Does anyone know of a command line utility that can auto tag mp3s using online databases?

I'm not sure how you'd do it for individual mp3's but the cd ripper abcde gets the track information by contacting a CDDB. It does this by using cd-discid, wget, and FreeDB and then tagging the songs with id3 and id3v2 I presume.
Maybe look in that direction?
Edit: Maybe this?

I wrote a script that deletes all previous tag information and writes new ones based on directory structure and filename. All of my music is arranged like this: ~/Music/Genre/Album/Artist - Title.mp3
I realize it doesn't access an online database, but I can give it to you if it'd be helpful.
I don't think it's possible to use an online database without a full album from a CD...

I was thinking about this the other day actually; there is an application on my phone that listens to a track for about 20 seconds and then it gives me the title/artist other such information. Surely this must be available on a real computer? Would be perfect for this kind of thing.

of course you can. install musicbrainz picard (pacman -S picard)

What do you know! Thanks for pointing that out.

I installed picard from AUR, but I don't see any command line options for this. Is there a separate binary that can be used from the CLI?

There is pymbtag from the Community Contributions forum. You might want to adjust it to work to your liking.

There is MusicBrainz Picard though it's a bit heavy I've found it to be a great tool

i would like to have a look at your scipt if you don't mind. my music library structure is clean but the mp3 tags itself are a bit messed up

@hurrrtin - is there a reason you need the program to be CLI?
