I use vorbiscomment to put tags on ogg files. Is there a similar command line program to tag wma files? I tried exiftool, which looked promising, but it can only read wma tags. I can't find anything that's not gui.

Isn't .wma a Microsoft proprietary format? I doubt you'll find anything for it for GNU/Linux.
FFmpeg will tag wma files with the -metadata string=string option. Having said that there are several different different types of wma and I have not tested them all :).
Several of the gui tag editors claim they can work with wma files.Quote:

Or perhaps the tagging features within Winamp and Windows Media Player aren't universal.
