i stated using a python module called id3reader
(http://www.nedbatchelder.com/code/mo...id3reader.html) and i tried
to use it to organize all my music files (right now they are all in one
folder (i want them in Music/artist/album/title.mp3)) but im getting an
error with the code, however it does seem to be from the id3 library,
and not from /my/ code, so if somebody knows how to fix this problem,
or even if somebody knows of a better id3 library please tell me.
my code::
############### ############### ###############
#! /usr/bin/python
import id3reader as id3
from glob import *
import sys, os
#from shutil import *
if len(sys.argv) >= 2:
location = sys.argv[1]
else:
location = '../'
files = glob(location + "*.mp3")
print "\n\n"
print "Welcome to the MP3 renamer"
print "files following this pattern will be changed::"
print location + "*.mp3"
print str(len(files)) + " will be affected"
Continue = True
while Continue == True:
x = raw_input("\tCo ntinue?(y/n)")
if x=='y' or x=='n':
if x=='y':
print "continueing... "
Continue = False
############### ############### ###
for file in files:
info = id3.Reader(file )
data = {}
data['artist'] = info.getValue(' performer')
if data['artist'] == None:
data['artist'] = "Unknown Artist"
data['album'] = info.getValue(' album')
if data['album'] == None:
data['album'] = "Unknown Album"
data['title'] = info.getValue(' title')
try:
os.mkdir(data['artist'])
os.mkdir(data['artist'] + '/' + data['album'])
except OSError:
print "directory already exists...contin ueing anyways"
#print data
new_file = data['artist'] + '/' + data['album'] + '/' + data['title']
+ '.mp3'
os.rename(file, new_file)
print "\n\n"
############### ############### ###############
for those of you who dont understand this, ill try to explain my best
here::
lines::
1) shebang (telling linux to use python)
2-5) imports (shutils was commented out -- i was using this before, but
now im not)
7-10) finding out the directory to find the music in
12) getting a tuple of all the files in the directory it's looking in
with the extension mp3
14-25) making sure you realy want to do this
27-end) for each file::
27-36) getting all the id3 info and storing it in a dictionary
38-42) tries to make the directories (try will make sure no error is
shown if they already exist)
45-46) renames he file, into the new directory
