Music collection: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 21:00, 18 July 2021

On Windows, the WMP (Windows Media Player) does a fine job, it has settings now to save directly to my music collection on Wenda in /home/music.

I used "abcde" on Debian, works great, thanks to careful tuning of the .abcde.conf file.

Embedding cover art Fixing Genre tag Fixing Artist tag (removing "The")

If the image is big then resize down to 512x512

file cover.jpg
mv cover.jpg backup
convert backup -resize cover.jpg

for i in *mp3; do 
  eyeD3 --add-image=cover.jpg:FRONT_COVER --artist=Pentangle --genre=Folk "$i"
done

Or just add the image

for i in *mp3; do 
  eyeD3 --add-image=cover.jpg:FRONT_COVER "$i"
done
