Tagging help #697
Description
Looked through the documentation and found some example code to follow. Based on those I came up with a script that should have worked for me. However, when I run my resulting code I end up with an unexpected result.
The problem I am trying to solve is to set tags that make cmus sort my files properly.
What works with cmus looks as follows:
-> id3v2 -l t01_Never_Satisfied.mp3
id3v1 tag info for t01_Never_Satisfied.mp3:
Title : Never Satisfied Artist: Judas Priest
Album : Metalogy Year: , Genre: Unknown (255)
Comment: Track: 1
t01_Never_Satisfied.mp3: No ID3v2 tag
I created a script that based on path will generate artist name, album name, song title and track number. Once I have that information it is used as follows:
from mutagen.easyid3 import EasyID3
mp3 = EasyID3(f)
mp3['album'] = album
mp3['albumartist'] = artist
mp3['artist'] = artist
mp3['title'] = title
mp3['tracknumber'] = track
mp3.save()
With appropriate debug output I get the following information
Working for: t61_All_Guns_Blazing.mp3
album: Metalogy
artist: Judas Priest
title: All Guns Blazing
track: 61
Which is what I expect and as such that should be set as the tags. But
-> id3v2 -l Judas_Priest/Metalogy/t61_All_Guns_Blazing.mp3
Judas_Priest/Metalogy/t61_All_Guns_Blazing.mp3: No ID3 tag
When I read the tags back in Python
>>> f='t61_All_Guns_Blazing.mp3'
>>> mp3 = EasyID3(f)
>>> mp3
{'album': ['Metalogy'], 'title': ['All Guns Blazing'], 'artist': ['Judas
Priest'], 'albumartist': ['Judas Priest'], 'tracknumber': ['61']}
It shows that my original code does add tags. They are just not in the format that makes cmus behave the way I want it to.
The question is, how do I get the data into a format such that it looks like the example shown first and that works with cmus.
Help is appreciated.
