audio-metadata-updater

• Uses mutagen.easyid3
• Add songs files to a given directory
• Generate / create a .json file that contains all the metadata you want to update
• current supported metadata fields: title, artist, album, tracknumber, composer, albumartist, discnumber, copyright
• Comes with error handling and will list out files that failed to update at the end of the log

Note: File name will be used as the key in the metadata.json file and must be configured accordingly

• Certain special characters (?, >, <, etc) can't be added to file names and will need to be taken out of the .json file keys to account for this
• However you can still add them in the metadata info
• As long as the file name and the keys in the metadata.json match up you can essentially use any identifier
