Music directory organizing shell script for Subsonic
Posted: Tue Oct 23, 2012 12:06 pmHi guys,
Since Subsonic recommends "artist/album/song" manner of music directories, I've made a simple shell script for organizing it. You might use music managers such as MediaMonkey but what I wanted was only organized path because all of my music files have its own tag information and cover images.
I only focused on mp3 files among the other media files and also "id3 version 2" type tag but the script is short and easy to change, so you can easily modify it. And also, I added another script that makes categorized playlists according to the "Genre" tag of your music files.
The scripts require a command-line id3 editor "id3v2", so you should install it. (http://id3v2.sourceforge.net)
And the scripts are here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/subscript/
Cheers.
