A easy wrapper for mutagen
Project description
phrydy
This is an extended version of the mediafile library of the beets project. It is used by the Python audio renaming command line tool audiorename.
The name phrydy is pronounced like the German word Friedi.
In the previous versions the phrydy library offers a standalone version of the mediafile.py included in the beets project. Now beets has its own separate library called mediafile. It might be better to use the upstream library directly.
phrydy offeres two media file classes: MediaFile is the looped through and unmodified version that comes directly from the beets project. MediaFileExtended is the slightly modified and extended version:
Changed fields:
albumartist_sort
composer_sort
mb_workid
New fields:
work
work_hierarchy
releasegroup_types
Other additions:
A little command line debug utility named phrydy-debug.
A dictionary containing documentation about the various meta data fields.
Some code to generate documentation from the field documentation dictionary.
Installation
From Github
git clone git@github.com:Josef-Friedrich/phrydy.git
cd phrydy
python setup.py installFrom PyPI
pip install phrydy
easy_install phrydyUsage
Basic usage:
>>> from phrydy import MediaFileExtended
>>> f = MediaFileExtended('Lucy.mp3')
>>> f.title
u'Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds'
>>> f.artist = 'The Beatles'
>>> f.save()
List all available fields of a media file:
from phrydy import MediaFileExtended
media_file = MediaFileExtended('test/files/full.mp3')
for key in MediaFileExtended.readable_fields():
value = getattr(media_file, key)
if key != 'art' and value:
print('{}: {}'.format(key, value))Field name |
