  • beets

    music library manager and MusicBrainz tagger

  • I use the astoundingly flexible "beets" to manage my music library: https://beets.io

    Highly recommended for anyone who always has a terminal window open. It pulls data from MusicBrainz by default, but can also be configured for other sources, such as Discogs.

  • beets-mpdqueue

    Beets plugin to add imported files to MPD queue.

  • It's also pretty easy to make your own plugins, although the API documentation isn't the greatest. I for example wanted to add all new music to my MPD queue, so I wrote a Beets plugin to do that automatically for me.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

    Workings out on https://wiki.thingsandstuff.org/Tagging_script

    Also, some of https://github.com/murdos/musicbrainz-userscripts have been handy

  • picard-beets-config

    MusicBrainz Picard tagger scripts, config and beets config

  • I have my Picard and beets configs hosted here - https://github.com/hashhar/picard-beets-config

    I spent so much time trying to get Picard's format-string to match beets.
