Musort: Effortlessly organize your music library with this Python3 program. Rename selected music/audio files in a folder using a customizable naming convention based on metadata (ID3) from the audio files. Ensure accurate metadata by using popular tools like MusicBrainz Picard, Beets, or EasyTAG before running Musort. Simplify your music organization and enhance file names for a more enjoyable library experience.

• Rename many audio files at once
• Rename audio files in subdirectories as well (recursive)
• Choose the naming convention (ex. track.title.flac or artist.track.year.mp3)
• Give a separator for the naming of the file (ex. track.title.flac or track_title.flac)
• Works on all systems that can run Python
• Supported audio formats
  • MP3/MP2/MP1 (ID3 v1, v1.1, v2.2, v2.3+)
  • Wave/RIFF
  • OGG
  • OPUS
  • FLAC
  • WMA
  • MP4/M4A/M4B/M4R/M4V/ALAC/AAX/AAXC
  • AIFF/AIFF-C

Make sure to install these programs to be able to run Musort

• Python3
• Docker (Optional)

The Python3 library TinyTag is also used, but is already included in this repository. Therefore, there is no need to install TinyTag for only this project.

The installation script will move the python program to ~/.local/bin. The installation directory can be changed in the install.sh script. Note: The installation directory should be added to $PATH

git clone https://github.com/tdeerenberg/Musort.git
cd Musort
chmod +x install.sh
./install.sh

After that, simply use the command musort to use the program.

Clone the repository and run the Python program

git clone https://github.com/tdeerenberg/Musort.git
cd Musort
pip install requirements.txt

After that, run the program with python3 musort.py.

git clone https://github.com/tdeerenberg/Musort.git
cd Musort
docker build -t musort .

After the Docker installation/build is complete, Musort can be run with:

docker run --name musort --rm -v "[music_directory_host]:[music_directory_container]" -it musort [music_directory_container]

The music folder must be mounted to the Docker container, therefore the -v option must be used to mount the directory.

An example of running Musort in Docker, using /home/user/music as music folder:

docker run --name musort --rm -v '/home/user/music:/music' -it musort /music

USAGE:
musort [DIRECTORY] [OPTIONAL_PARAMETERS]
    USAGE EXAMPLES:
    musort ~/music
    musort /local/music -f disc.artist.title.album -r
    musort ~/my_music -s _ -r
    
OPTIONAL OPTIONS:
-h, --help           Show the help menu
-f, --format         set the naming convention (see 'NAMING CONVENTION:' below)
-s, --separator      Set the separator for the filename (ex. '-s .' -> 01.track.flac and '-s -' -> 01-track.mp3)
                     Default separator '_' will be used if none is given
-r, --recursive      Rename files in subdirectories as well
-v, --version        Prints the version number

NAMING CONVENTION:
FORMAT_OPTION.FORMAT_OPTION...      The amount of format options does not matter.
                                    It can be one, two, three, even all of them.
                                    (See FORMAT OPTIONS below for all options)
