songrec-rename is a shell script to automate the naming of music files. It uses the open source Shazam client songrec to identify tracks.
songrec-rename accepts wav, flac, ogg and mp3 files as input.
sudo apt update && sudo apt install software-properties-common
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:marin-m/songrec -y -u
sudo apt install songrec -y
See the songrec homepage for instructions on installing songrec under other Linux distros or building it from source.
Clone this repo:
git clone https://github.com/danboid/songrec-rename.git
then (under Ubuntu 20.04+ or if you have ~/.local/bin in your $PATH)
cp songrec-rename/songrec-rename.sh ~/.local/bin/songrec-rename
or (under Ubuntu 18.04 and earlier, without ~/.local/bin in your $PATH)
sudo cp songrec-rename/songrec-rename.sh /usr/local/bin/songrec-rename
songrec-rename requires jq and optionally id3v2 for adding id3 tags.
sudo apt install jq id3v2 -y
cd into a directory containing music files (wav, flac, ogg or mp3) then run songrec-rename. If you add the -r option it will rename all music files in all directories within the current one, recursively.
If you have id3v2 installed and you use the -i option songrec-rename will add id3 tags to mp3 files.
Note that if you have more than one copy of a track within a directory, songrec-rename will only rename the first instance of any duplicated tracks.
