A python GUI that builds filters for the Mp3Tag application. I use this script to filter my demos by various custom tags. You can easily customize the script to filter by any tag you want.
Because it's a pain to write Mp3Tag filters like this ((NOT BPM LESS 80 AND NOT BPM GREATER 100) OR (NOT BPM LESS 160 AND NOT BPM GREATER 200)) AND (NOT %_folderpath% MATCHES solo|covers|previous|hold|szn|beats) AND (NOT melodyStart MATCHES before) AND (NOT Mode MATCHES mixo|mixed) AND (Melody MATCHES 3 OR Melody ABSENT) AND (FirstChord MATCHES 6 OR FirstChord ABSENT) AND (NOT Feel MATCHES waltz|triplet) AND (Section MATCHES chorus OR Section ABSENT) AND (NOT Section MATCHES instr|riff) AND (NOT Masterpiece MATCHES 2|1) AND (NOT Fall MATCHES 3) AND (Genesis MATCHES aku OR Genesis ABSENT) AND (jd MATCHES 5 OR jd ABSENT) AND (cowriter MATCHES None OR cowriter ABSENT) AND HOLD ABSENT
Instead, set the switches in the GUI and click Filter...
... the script builds the filter string and types it into the filter box in Mp3Tag.
Before you can run the MP3 Tagger script, there are some pre-requisites that are assumed.
The following environment variables are mandatory:
MP3TAG_PATH=path_to_mp3tag (mine is C:\Program Files (x86)\Mp3tag\Mp3tag.exe)
The recommended way for setting these environmental variables is to use a .env file.
A .env file is a file in the root directory of this project or at the root of your home directory that lists the environment variables above. For example:
These steps are not necessary, but recommended for build environment isolation. You could use virtualenv (and virtualenvwrapper) or just the built-in venv.
MP3 Tagger also supports poetry, a modern dependency management and virtual environment tool. You will need to install poetry as explained on its site to use it with MP3 Tagger.
Installing the package resolves and builds the dependencies required to run MP3 Tagger.
The package can be installed in developement (editable) mode to allow you to make changes locally.
Traditional:
pip install -e .
Poetry automatically installs dependencies in development mode?
Once you have completed all the installation steps, run MP3 Tagger script by running either:
Traditional:
py -m mp3taggerPoetry:
poetry run python -m mp3taggerYou can change the options in mp3tagger\mp3tagger\data\sections.py to customize the GUI to your needs. You can add or remove sections, change the labels, and change the tags that are used to filter the files. I suppose we'll have to keep this file out of the repo and add it to the .gitignore file.
