#Album artwork in kid3 how to#
The webpage has sample python scripts on how to use it in a script. You can use eyeD3 directly from the command-line but I find it more powerful when you create a script with python. It uses python and has amazing capabilities, and can access almost any tag in ID3. You can even select the version of ID3 and text encoding, so you're whole collection is standard.įor your case, I recommend using a script and use eyeD3 for it.

You can see all the ID3 tags (because software as easytag hide the ones they don't know). You have many options to tag your data from the file name or vice-versa. It doesn't have any dependencies on kde and it's the best ID3 tag software in Ubuntu. I use two programs to achieve this: for a few changes to a few files, use kid3-qt. I also have a similar structure and I'm pretty obsessed on how my music should be organized, not only file names, but also the metadata. It seems that Google is following the ID3 standard pretty good, so as long as you also follow that standard your fine. I suggest that you organize your music exactly the way you want it. it doesn't matter what the name of your files are, it's all about the ID3.Įven if you have songs where the Artist and Album Artist are different, Google will display both correctly without any confusion.
Testing with Google Music, I realized that it's all about the ID3 tag. How would I have to prepare my music collection to be properly recognized by the service? What applications are available to aid me in doing so? artist/bonusalbum_from_japan_only/specialtrack# title4.mp3 artist/best_of/yetanothertrack# title3.mp3 This is fine as because of limited bandwith, and because of a possible violation of copyright laws in my country I do not want my music files to be uploaded anywhere.Īlso I do not want my files to end up like this: /artist/album/track# title1.mp3 I understand that these services are capable of not actually uploading the music data from my files but rather just provide a link to songs they already have on their servers. Now I plan to upload these to a cloud music service (I was thinking of Google Play). In case this matters, I made quite some effort to have my files orderly saved with the following pattern: /shared/music/artist/album/track# title.mp3 They mostly consist of mp3 downloaded from different online shops at various bitrates, mp3 ripped from CDs I own, and DRM-free m4a files from iTunes. My music collection has grown to now approx.
