A quick python script to take a large folder of KEXP Song of the Day podcasts, split them into smaller folders, and fix titles.
There are currently two functions:
copy_files()takes a large collection of files and splits them into groups of 100. It currently does not sort these files, so the order is somewhat arbitrary.adjust_title()checks to see if the artist name is also included at the start of a song title name, and if so, removes the first instance of it. This is currently somewhat inexact: it fails to catch some cases, for unclear reasons.
If you're just using copy_files(), you can safely comment out the mutagen imports, but otherwise this script does require
the Mutagen library, available through pip.
To use, update the script to specify the path to the folder of music you want collected (SRC_DIR), and specify a folder you want as a destination (TARGET_DIR), uncomment the function calls, then from a prompt run:
python kexp_sotd.py
That's it!
