beets

Music tagger and library organizer

Beets is a media library management system for obsessive-compulsive music geeks. The purpose of beets is to get a music collection right once and for all. It catalogs the collection, automatically improving its metadata as it goes. It then provides a bouquet of tools for manipulating and accessing the music. beets is designed as a library, has a number of plugins which support these actions: - Fetch or calculate all the metadata that could possibly be needed: album art, lyrics, genres, tempos, ReplayGain levels, or acoustic fingerprints. - Get metadata from MusicBrainz, Discogs, and Beatport, or guess metadata using songs' filenames or their acoustic fingerprints. - Transcode audio to any format. - Check your library for duplicate tracks and albums or for albums that are missing tracks. - Clean up crufty tags left behind by other tools. - Embed and extract album art from files' metadata. - Browse the music library graphically through a Web browser and play it in any browser that supports HTML5 Audio. - Analyze music files' metadata from the command line. - Listen to your library with a music player that speaks the MPD protocol and works with a variety of interfaces. Writing additional plugins for beets is possible using Python.
