I have some folders with MP3 files that do not include any metadata, but do contain some data in the filename itself.
I want to copy the data from the title to the file as meta-data.
What I already have:
import eyed3.mp3
import os
local = os.getcwd()+"\\"
for file in os.listdir(local):
while os.path.basename(file)[-4:len(os.path.basename(file))] == ".mp3":
original = os.path.basename(file)
print(original)
original2 = original[0:-4]
print(original2)
list = original2.split(" - ")
print(list)
f = eyed3.load(file)
class Mp3AudioFile(f):
f.initTag(Artist=(list[0]))
f.initTag(Album=(list[1]+list[2]))
f.initTag(TrackNumber=(list[3]))
f.initTag(Title=(list[4]))
break
What it prints:
John Williams - S.W. Ep. IV - CD 1 - 01 - 20th Century Fox Fanfare.mp3
John Williams - S.W. Ep. IV - CD 1 - 01 - 20th Century Fox Fanfare
['John Williams', 'S.W. Ep. IV', ' CD 1', '01', '20th Century Fox Fanfare']
It gives this error:
TypeError: initTag() got an unexpected keyword argument 'Artist'
How do I get the data from the title, that I parsed in a list, as metadata of the file.
I also wanted to be able to just copy and paste the .py file, execute it, in any of the folders that I have.
If you look at the documentation, the only kwargs for initTag is tag_version. So cannot set the artist, title, track number or album via this function.
You can set the values as follows:
f = eyed3.load(file)
f.tag.artist = unicode(list[0])
f.tag.album = unicode(' '.join(list[1]+list[2]))
f.tag.track_num = int(list[3])
f.tag.title = unicode(list[4])
f.tag.save()
Hope this helps!
