Usage

Muedit.py

Use muedit.py to view and edit metadata for a single music file or an entire folder interactively.

Command

python muedit.py /path/to/music_or_folder --sort

Example

python muedit.py /music/collection --sort

Explanation

• --sort: After editing metadata, this option triggers musort.py to rename the files based on chosen metadata fields.

Note: --sort assumes that musort.py is in the same directory as muedit.py.

Musort.py

Use musort.py to rename music files based on specific metadata fields.

Command

python musort.py /path/to/music_or_folder -f artist.title -s "-"

Example

python musort.py /music/collection -f album.artist -s "_"

Explanation

• -f: Sets the renaming format, e.g., artist.title.
• -s: Defines a separator between fields (default: "-").
