about
- pyTagging manages large MP3 collections with user original tags.
- pyTagging generates play lists for iTunes and Winamp.
- You can input tag information with minimum key press (vi like key binding).
User tags have a 'keyword-items' structure. MP3 files are associated with user tags.
e.g.) A keyword, weather, has some items such as fine, rainy, cloudy and snowy. Another keyword, day, has items such as Sunday, working day and
holiday. good.mp3 has a tag information that weather is fine, and day is working day.
pyTagging extracts MP3 files under conditions of user tags combinations.
e.g.) good.mp3 is extracted on a condition that weather is fine but not extracted on a condition that weather is rainy.
- I have large MP3 collection and enjoy listening music on iTunes and iPod. These players sometimes play songs which are not suitable for a
situation and my emotion at that time. So, I had tried to make some play lists for Sunday, walking and party. However, Sunday playlist was not
suitable for rainy Sunday. I thought I should make a play list for rainy Sunday. However, that play list was not suitable for rainy working
day... Making many playlists is messy. So, I decided to make pyTagging to avoid above problem. If you have same experience, pyTagging would be one candidate.
- pyTagging can play MP3 files and read/write ID3 tag.
- One obvious disadvantage of pyTagging is that you have to input many information by yourself.
- pyTagging is written in a object-oriented programing language, Python and open source.
- Current state of pyTagging is alpha version. You can operate pyTagging but you will meet tons of bugs.
- Kitajima is currently developing pyTagging solely although I need help. If you are interested in this project, please send e-mail to me.
