What ID3v2 could have been

• picard

  238 3,551 9.8 Python

  A cross-platform music tagger powered by the MusicBrainz database. Picard organizes your music collection by updating your tags, renaming your files, and sorting them into a folder structure, exactly the way you want it.

  

Check out Musicbrainz Picard[1]. If the releases have their own entries in the Musicbrainz database (which they very likely do) you can differentiate between releases in both tagging and directory structure.

I've not personally done this as I only keep one copy of each album (whichever I think is the best, subjective I know but it's my collection) but they have a powerful file naming scripting interface[2] which you can probably come up with something to satisfy your needs.

• m4b-tool

  34 1,078 6.8 PHP

  m4b-tool is a command line utility to merge, split and chapterize audiobook files such as mp3, ogg, flac, m4a or m4b

My audio workflow is:

- beets [1] for music tagging

- m4b-tool [2] and tone [3] for audio books merging and tagging (Note: I'm the author of these)

- iTunes and an iPod Nano 7g and iPod classic 2009 to listen

- self-hosted navidrome [4] for music and audiobookshelf [5] for audio books on my android / ios devices

Everything with docker containers without further dependencies. I must say, that this works pretty good so far.

• Audioserve

  19 665 9.1 Rust

  Simple personal server to serve audiofiles files from folders. Intended primarily for audio books, but anything with decent folder structure will do.

I also considered audioserve + app [1], but I did not have the time to try it out.
