FLACManager - audio metadata aggregator and FLAC+MP3 encoder

http://ninthtest.info/flac-mp3-audio-manager/

FLAC Manager is a plain Tkinter GUI (i.e. no tkinter.tix or tkinter.ttk) that aggregates metadata for a CD-DA disc from the Gracenote Web API and the MusicBrainz XML Web Service, allows you to choose metadata values from the aggregated data (or enter freeform values), and then rips tracks to FLAC and MP3. The encoding options for FLAC and MP3 are fully configurable, and the directory/file naming scheme is customizable.

Now, before you get all excited, understand that this application has several oppressive limitations:

• only runs on Mac OS X
• has minimalistic UI and usability
• requires Python 3.3 or higher with tkinter installed
• requires the flac and lame command line utilities to be installed, as well as the libdiscid shared library
• requires that you register for your own authentication keys at https://developer.gracenote.com/

Read the warning disclaimer at http://ninthtest.info/flac-mp3-audio-manager/, as well as the FLAC Manager prerequisites to understand why these limitations exist.
