tagog - Discogs audio tagger

homepage
aur page

If you're into music and having the tags of your audio files tidy, check this tool out. You find the album that want to tag on the discogs site, grab the release number (the number in the url), and run tagog on the directory. It supports mp3, mp2, Ogg Vorbis, and FLAC files.

Re: tagog - Discogs audio tagger

Looks like a nice tool; I'd like to try it out. Would you mind throwing together a PKGBUILD for it?

Re: tagog - Discogs audio tagger

/me doesn't have any experience with that stuff

maybe if somebody else wanted to. I could learn how to, but I'm afraid that I would forget something/screw something up.

Re: tagog - Discogs audio tagger

noice, PKGBUILD added! Also, this program has been completely rewritten. The internals are much more modular. Plus, new website!

There shouldn't be any reason to learn more editor types than emacs or vi -- mg (1)

I chose the MIT license.

Please, if anyone has any comments, feature requests, bug reports, or anything like that, let me know about them!

Re: tagog - Discogs audio tagger

well technically you need to include a license file in the archive (or include the text in every source file ala unix)  and install the license to /usr/share/licenses/$pkgname in the PKGBUILD

Re: tagog - Discogs audio tagger

Yeah, I that as well, but other packages with MIT licenses did not do that (at least the three that I checked, not very thorough admittedly). I'll get on it.

Re: tagog - Discogs audio tagger

well thats how its supposed to be done, eg. if the package was in a binary archlinux repo. i hadnt seen you had included a license file in the source when i posted before btw.
im gonna gine you more feedback when i test this properly.
thanks

Re: tagog - Discogs audio tagger

Only MP3 .

Snif.... From an OSS program you'd expect they'd support stuff like FLAC and Ogg Vorbis too .

Re: tagog - Discogs audio tagger

Haven't tried it, but I kind of like the idea. But still, I think that taggers ought be able to operate fairly autonomously by now. I want a tagger that I only need to give the directory I want tagged and it can figure out what album it is.
The musicbrainz taggers does this with audio fingerprinting the songs, although I think that is kind of superfluous, unless you have no metadata available at all. I want a tagger that can intelligently deduce what album I want tagged from gathering all the available metadata and doing the proper queries to various databases.

Guess I should stop procrastinating and do some actual coding at some point, because really, taggers should be easier and less hassle.

Hopefully I will move over to mutagen soon...

Yes, this is a good idea. But one of the problems with discogs is that it does not have that kind of fingerprinting, and will only produce titles and occasionally the track lengths.

But as you mentioned, there should be some sort of intellegent deduction going on that can determine the release based on all information present in a directiory. And that is ultimately where I would like to go with this. But at the same time, I think that there should still be an option to have the release entered in manually (for perfectionists like myself who are weary of computer automation).

Re: tagog - Discogs audio tagger

Good News:

I added Ogg Vorbis, Flac, and APEv2 support. See version 0.0.5.

Re: tagog - Discogs audio tagger

ls /usr/share/licenses/common

If you don't see your license there, you have to include one (as licenses/$pkgname/MIT-or-whatever). It seems MIT has sort of become an exception, though. But..

cd /usr/share/licenses
find -iname "*MIT*"

Gives me e2fsprogs and mono.

I need real, proper pen and paper for this.
