This utility used to work wonders, too. Should still work despite what looks like the author moving on: https://github.com/blabber/ripit

Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (February 2025)
A music library organizer, as a replacement for my current workflow with Beets (https://beets.io/).
Beets takes almost 5 minutes per incremental update of ~1000 folders of tagged flacs with my current configuration, when all I really want it to do is:
-
The Open Music Encyclopedia
I quite like the command line centric application http://beets.io/ as well too.
- Beets 2.0 release: mpd compatible music library manager and MusicBrainz tagger
-
Mp3tag – The Universal Tag Editor
If you haven’t already looked in to it, beets might be a solution for you

Show HN: Synced lyrics database with a free, easy-to-use API
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)

Finally moving to Navidrome... but how to best manage files and metadata?
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.
