audiotools-config

audiotools-config is the Python Audio Tools configuration manager. When called without arguments, it displays the system's current configuration. By specifying various configuration arguments, it modifies the user's $(HOME)/.audiotools.cfg file with new values.

The level of output to display. Choose between 'normal', 'quiet' and 'debug'.
Transcoding Options
-t, --type
When used without the -q option, this sets the default audio type to use when creating new audio files. Otherwise, this is used in conjunction with -q to set the default audio quality for the given type. For a list of available audio formats, try: -t help
-q, --quality
The default quality level for a given audio type. For a list of available quality levels, try: -q help

If "none" is given, new MP3 files will not be given ID3v2 tags.
--id3v2-pad=TRUE / FALSE
