metamp3 ~ mp3 Command Line Utility

Posted by tom2tec on

I wrote this because I wanted a command line tool that could
add album art to (and save from) mp3 files, compute replaygain
and save them as ID3 tags (readable by Winamp, etc).

Features:

  • Write (all) Text, URL and Picture frame tags, with description.
  • Compute replay-gain values and set them as ID3v2.3 tags.
  • Apply and Undo volume gain (as mp3gain).
  • Extract pictures from mp3 files.
  • Inspect ID3 v1.1, v2.3, and v2.4 tags.
  • Inspect detailed info on mp3 files, including lametag data.

Disconest ~ Metadata For Your Music: Keys, BPM & More

Posted by tom2tec on

Vinyl sounds better, looks better, feels better and even smells better. But digital does have its benefits, musical metadata is one of them. Having the key, tempo and other musical metadata for your records at a glance would be useful. Disconest uses The Echonest music database to find information about releases registered on Discogs.

As of November 2024 Spotify removed access to api endpoints used by Disconest and many other indie apps. Without these apis Disconests functionality is limited. See the Spotify Developer blog for more details.

Posted by tom2tec on

This component displays several groups of items which are described in the following sections. The item names are displayed in upper-case letters in the UI element, but can also be used in lower-case in title formatting code, since field names in title formatting are case-insensitive.

  • The Location group contains information about the physical location of the track.
  • The Tag Fields group contains the user-modifiable metadata fields of the track.
  • The technical Fields groups contains technical information fields that are provided by the decoder.
  • The Replaygain group contains the Replaygain data of the track.

MusicBrainz ~ The Open Music Encyclopedia

Posted by tom2tec on

MusicBrainz is an open music encyclopedia that collects music metadata and makes it available to the public.

MusicBrainz aims to be:

  • The ultimate source of music information by allowing anyone to contribute and releasing the data under open licenses.
  • The universal lingua franca for music by providing a reliable and unambiguous form of music identification, enabling both people and machines to have meaningful conversations about music.
  • Like Wikipedia, MusicBrainz is maintained by a global community of users and we want everyone — including you — to participate and contribute.
