TrackingTools

This is a small set of scripts I wrote for processing concerts to upload to and downloaded from etree.org.

copytags

Copies tags from FLAC files to FLAC files or MP3 files. Copying to MP3 requires the command line tool id3tag but I don't know which or where it came from. It needs to be converted to mutagen like the others.

cuecutter

Cuecutter reads a cuesheet and uses it to cut up a flac file. You specify the output filenames like this aShow2012t%s.flac and it puts the track number where you want it. You can also have it drop the first and/or last track.

flac2mp3

Converts flac files to mp3 using shntool and lame.

reshow

Copy to the band / date / venue / location in standard etree format to the pasteboard then run this script, giving it a list of FLAC or MP3 files, and it set the artist, album, and track number tags for you. This only works on Mac OSX because it uses the pbpaste command. It assumes the ordering is band, date, venue, then location and it assumes the date format.

The format looks like this:

Holiday Jam
2012-12-24
Fillmore East
New York City, NY

In which case the album tag will be 2012-12-24 Fillmore East, New York City NY

retitle

Copy the setlist to the pasteboard and run this script on a set of FLACs or MP3s. It will parse the setlist and set the title and track number for you. It's a little smart, skipping things like "Set 1" and making sure the number of tracks it parsed matches the number of files you supply, but it's not very smart.

rsplits

Renames flac files in a directory. Give it a new name like myshow2012-00-00s1t%s.flac and it will put the track number in for you.
