This project is still in an infant stage, so use at your own risk. I won't be responsible if this breaks your music collection. And remember: No Backup - No Mercy! ;)
This is a personal project that aims to sort a "bunch of music files" nicely by file type and filter out those with bad quality (low bitrate). I started this because no tool I tried offered such sorting and filtering functionality, not even MusicBrainz Picard.
Just invoke your favourite Python 3 interpreter with musicsort.py.
$ python3 musicsort.pyIf you just want to see how this would sort your stuff - without changing anything - set the -sim flag to create symlinks instead of moving files.
$ python3 musicsort.py -simIf you want to use pipenv, you can start musicsort via
$pipenv pipenv run ./musicsort.pymusicsort Currently supports the following optional arguments:
- -dir / --directory: The directory in which the files are located. Defaults to the directory of musicsort.py.
- -out / --output_directory: The directory to which the sorted and filtered files should be written. Defaults to "out".
- -mbr / --minimum_bitrate: The minimum bitrate for lossily-compressed files. Defaults to "0" for disabled filtering.
- -bug / --debug: Toggles debug output on the console.
- -sim / --simulate: Toogles simulation mode in which no files are changed and symlinks are created instead.
Example:
$ python3 musicsort.py -dir src -out dst -mbr 265To manage dependencies, pipenv is used. Use virtualenvs and manage your dependencies manually, if you wish, but using pipenv is recommended as the maintainer is relying on it.
