library VS yark

Sure, I write small python CLI utils that help me solve media organization, media consumption, and sometimes data analysis. I use this every day on Linux and Android but I haven't tested it on other platforms. There are a lot of different subcommands and, although the CLI package will always be opinionated to some extent, there is a lot of niche functionality which might not need to exist. So I'm open to things being refactored or new subcommands being added. [1]

I have a lot of ideas for new ones, for example, I want a CLI that can take an artist name like "Theodor Kittelsen" and fetch highest quality public domain images--but I realize any implementation that does this well will be somewhat fragile so I haven't really attempted that yet. Other ideas that I have are often solved by piping output from one of my existing commands to another.

I used sqlite-utils to create a tool that can merge SQLITE files and split them:

I've created a few similar tools for link scraping: https://github.com/chapmanjacobd/library#usage

- library links-extract: extract inner links from pages (stdin, local files, or remote sites)

okay https://github.com/chapmanjacobd/library

I'm adding more unit tests: https://github.com/chapmanjacobd/library/commit/bd2e138897fdf41b8d8eade89bcdb34fee2b6abd

I would also[0] be interested in an argparse equivalent of this for my tool Library[1]

I have a little over 2 million songs as well and I wrote my own media management system to deal with it all. I save everything as Opus so the size is relatively small but still high-quality.

Losing the data from the hard drive AND the internet is less likely than just one of those events happening. Recently I accidentally deleted 12 TB of media and I was able to redownload 80% of it using a script that I wrote. 20% of it I had to manually redownload but everything was still there.

(I used yark to archive it, so just install it, use the command 'yark view ML_Andrew_Ng' on the folder you put everything and it'll bring up a webpage where you can see the videos with the correct thumbnails and names.)

https://github.com/Owez/yark : "Yark" also seems like a great up and coming project for archiving.
