mutagen VS beets

Note for the confused (maybe just me?), this is not related to python-mutagen[0], the metadata library.

I actually originally wrote Resonance in entirely in python when I was first learning how to make gtk4 / libadwaita applications. This first version used the mutagen tagging library for importing tags, which was written for the quodlibet player. Eventually, through the course of developing Resonance, I ran into noticeable latency issues with a sizable enough library. This was due (I think maybe due to this?) to how gdk pixbuf loading worked within PyGObject. This was especially an issue with the main album grid flowbox. (Loading a ton of album covers made it super laggy)

At least https://github.com/quodlibet/mutagen/issues doesn't seem to have issues open related about Ogg that seem relevant.

If you do python, check this module out: https://github.com/quodlibet/mutagen

The python script will update the metadata and prepare it for plex using mutagen

not sure but see this thread https://github.com/quodlibet/mutagen/issues/327

It looks like mutagen is mapping version to TIT3.

It looks like Quod Libet, ExFalso (it's tag editor) and Mutagen its tagging library are the only ones that really do support actual multiple tags, both writing (Mutagen and ExFalso) and reading/playing/acting as a music library with Quod Libet…

I was always frustrated that there is no solid source for synced lyrics that also offers decent API support. There is good ol' Crintsoft's MiniLyrics that is thankfully free software, was what I used a lot in my childhood, but unfortunately the API is highly obfuscated. Another popular choice is the Musixmatch API, which has a very large database of synced lyrics, but with "free" API that are reverse-engineered from their app, you will quickly run into rate-limit.

That's why I created LRCLIB. It's aimed to provide completely free synchronized lyrics for everyone, especially for FOSS music players, with zero profit intention. It currently has nearly 3,000,000 (not deduplicated) lyrics in database. You can also contribute to the database by adding and syncing lyrics for your favorite songs using the LRCGET client.

I'm trying my best to make LRCLIB server-side code open-source as soon as possible. But right now, full LRCLIB's database dumps have already been uploaded regularly and publicly, which are simply sqlite3 files. Feel free to download, look at or do anything you want with the database at https://lrclib.net/db-dumps.

Many open-source projects have already begun integrating LRCLIB, including:

- beets - music library metadata management (https://github.com/beetbox/beets)

I just ssh onto my server and use beets to remotely organize my navidrome collection and edit metadata. Beets has lots of auto-tagging features and I rarely need to edit anything manually. Works great if you are ok with using the command line.

You could try https://github.com/beetbox/beets but it seemed very manual and extremely slow. I had better luck with Picard.

Honestly? I use https://beets.io/ to organise all my FLAC on my NAS.

I expose the /Music directory over NFC.

I use https://kodi.tv/ to stream music to my amp. I manually pick the album I want to listen to.

Kodi also has a fairly reasonable web UI.

Keep it simple.

If you're technically inclined, there's beets.

You should check out beets.

Yes, you have the torrent client call beets.io on the folder and have beets configured.
