media-tools v0.0.1

media-tools

Tools for working with multimedia files (mp3, mp4, m4a, editing tags, etc.).

About

Currently under development. Helps provide mass-updating and housekeeping tasks while downloading music from services like Spotify and YouTube.

Formats Supported

Theoretically, the utility can support any format supported by FFMpeg. However, during this initial development phase, support is limited to the following formats:

• ASF
• AVI
• FLV
• MP3
• MP4
• M4A
• WMA
• WMV

Assumptions

At the moment, the utility requires files to be named in a specific format:

<title> - <artist>.<extension>
<title> - <edition> - <artist>.<extension>

For example, one of these will work:

Colour Me - Juke Ross.m4a
Colour Me - Autograf Remix - Juke Ross.m4a

Requirements

Node JS and FFMpeg must be installed on the system.

Limitations

Tag information cannot be cleared from a file unless the file name has replacement data available. This is a safety procaution. A force switch will be added in the future.

Usage

At the moment, there are only two commands in the utility:

tag-clear <path>
tag-set-from-file <path>  

Both of these will cause search the path and either clear the meta data or set the meta data. Once installed, these commands are available system-wide.

Installation

Install the utility, and the above commands, as follows:

npm install media-tools
