Overview

albums works with media files and tags, but primarily acts on "albums" rather than individual files.

It scans the media library and creates a database. It supports adding albums to "collections," for example to make a list of albums to sync to a digital audio player. It can also perform the sync. There are automated checks and interactive fixes for metadata related issues such as track numbering (sequence, totals, disc numbers), album-artist tags, etc.

Supported Media

Most features require each album (soundtrack, mixtape...) to be in a folder.

Any album with recognized media files can be scanned. However, most of the check features require albums to understand the tags. FLAC, Ogg Vorbis, and other files with Vorbis comment metadata using standard names are supported. ID3 is supported. JPEG, PNG and GIF files in the album folder are scanned. Other media files have limited support and checks may be skipped.

System Requirements

Requires Python 3.12+. Primarily tested on Linux and Windows. Should work on any 64-bit x86 or ARM system with Linux, macOS or Windows. (For wider support, one could remove the dependency on non-essential library scikit-image.)
