DESCRIPTION:¶ ↑

Automated ID3 tagging for iTunes on a Mac, based on AppleScript. Alter for your needs. Features intelligent genre tagging.

FEATURES:¶ ↑

  • Get tracks and albums from library and edit any ID3 field, ad-hoc

  • Script your tagging preferences and easily apply them to newly imported tracks

  • Gets genre information from Last.fm API

    • Can use the grouping field to fill in most popular Last.fm tags, which might look like “britpop indie madchester rock alternative british indie-rock alternative-rock manchester 80s”. This allows you to search across your library for stuff like “alt-country” or “minimal-techno” - a much more powerful and automated system for genre metadata

INSTALL:¶ ↑

AD-HOC TAGGING IN IRB:¶ ↑

album = its.first.full_album   # its gets an array of selected tracks in iTunes

STANDARDIZE YOUR TAGGING:¶ ↑

  • edit tag function in track.rb and album.rb

  • need to bundle shell script to launch this process

REQUIREMENTS:¶ ↑

  • Mac OS X

  • rb-appscript

  • active_mac
