convert, tag cover images, and import music files into Apple Music

Apple Music Import

App to bulk import music from multiple folders into Apple Music.

Please consider purchasing music you download if you want to support small, weird and independent artists!

Requirements

This has only been tested on MacOS 15.4.1 on Apple M1 Max

• viu and compatible terminal
• FFmpeg
• python 3.10^
• uv

Setup

1. Clone this repository locally
2. Run uv venv to set up and activate virtual env
3. Run uv pip install -r pyproject.toml to install all packages

Run App

Run poe run to run the app and import all files found give the configuration (see Configuration section).

During the run, the app will search for folders containing music based on the configuration, then it will attempt the following steps for each folder:

1. Convert music files in the folder to Apple Lossless mp4 if they aren't already, using the Apple Lossless Audio Codec, carrying over all of the ID3 metadata
2. Find all Apple Lossless mp4s in the folder
3. Check and see if a cover image has been provided for the album
   • if there is a cover image named as specified in the config, the app will tag the music files with this image
   • if there are multiple images in the folder, it will display them and ask you to choose one, or provide a URL to an image
   • if there are no image files in the folder, it will ask you to provide a URL to an image
4. Import all files in the folder into Apple Music
5. If the app is configured to delete the folder after successfully importing all files, it will do so. Some of the existing folder types in this repo (bandcamp, Soulseek) available in this app will also delete the parent folder if there are no other files in it beside the album that was uploaded

Configuration

Delete Folder After Import

src/config.py:DELETE_FOLDER_AFTER_IMPORT - set boolean to determine delete behavior after folder contents are imported.

Music Folders Search Space

src/config.py:FOLDER_TYPE_GLOB_MAPPINGS - for a given concrete class of AbstractAlbumFolder, set a list of unix-style glob strings that will locate folders that should be processes by said concrete class.

Music Folder Types

You can create new concrete class instances of AbstractAlbumFolder abstract class and place them in src/folder_classes/. Each of these classes represent a type of folder containing an album of music files, with or without a cover image. The concrete class can optionally set the name of cover images in the folder (if they exist and have consistent naming), and must specify a method for deleting the folder when the import is done.
