About the script

This script can be used to manage your music library like iTunes does.

Installation

On linux:

This is a python script which needs python2. It won't work for python3. This script uses eyeD3 module to read the tags so make sure that it is installed.

For ArchLinux,
$pacman -S python-eyed3

On Windows:

First you need to download eyeD3 module which is a dependancy to the script as its required to read and manipulate tags in the mp3.

To install the eyeD3 module, download the latest release from http://eyed3.nicfit.net/releases/ Now, extract it and goto "src" directory in the extracted files and rename "init.py.in" to "init.py"

Then, to install the module,

$python setup.py.in install

If you get an error similar to python not found, that means that you need to add python to your system path variable.

Usage

Suppose, you want your music sorted such that all the mp3s have name as %artist% - %title% and each artist should have a different folder. Also, in the process you want to remove and www.Songs.PK in the titles.

shadyabhi@archlinux ~ $ python2 pLibraryOrganizer.py -h
usage: main.py [-h] -f FORMAT [-d [DIRECTORY]] [-v] [-et EDITTITLE EDITTITLE]
               [-ea EDITARTIST EDITARTIST] [-eA EDITALBUM EDITALBUM]

Organizes your library

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -f FORMAT, --format FORMAT
                        Enter format for organizing the music
                        DEFAULT: %artist% - %title%
  -d [DIRECTORY], --directory [DIRECTORY]
                        Enter the directory root.
  -v, --verbose         For more verbose output
  -et EDITTITLE EDITTITLE, --edittitle EDITTITLE EDITTITLE
                        Replace in Title
  -ea EDITARTIST EDITARTIST, --editartist EDITARTIST EDITARTIST
                        Replace in Artist
  -eA EDITALBUM EDITALBUM, --editalbum EDITALBUM EDITALBUM
                        Replace in Album
shadyabhi@archlinux ~ $

So, you will do something like:

$python2 pLibraryOrganizer.py -f "%artist%/%artist% - %title%" -d "/home/shadyabhi/music/" -et " - www.Songs.PK" ""

Hope that script will be of use to you. :)
