MusicBrainzTagger

Bytom@khubla.com

I’ve tried a couple different mp3 taggers to tag my mp3 library, however, most seem to have trouble with large mp3 libraries.  So, after doing some reading about AcoustID and MusicBrainz I decided to quickly code up my own tagger, MusicBrainzTagger.

MusicBrainzTagger is a command-line application which recurses a directory of mp3 files and tags each one, one by one.  This approach allows it to handle very large libraries; it only processes one file at a time.  File processing consists of reading any ID3 tags in the input mp3, and then calculating the Acoustic ID fingerprint.  The fingerprint is then resolved to a MusicBrainz ID which is used to look up the recording.

MusicBrainzTagger then tags the file, renames it, and moves it to a new directory.

    If you haven’t read this book, I highly recommend it.  I discovered it in high school and finally purchased my first copy at the now-gone Duthie Books in Kitsilano.  Without going into the details of the book, the author uses a simple Peano arithmetic called Typographical Number Theory  (TNT) to illustrate some of his points. An example…

I decided to try writing an ORM for Riak, and the results are here: https://github.com/teverett/cbean My ORM is not an ORM of course, because RIAK is not relational. However it is ORM-like; I can store POJO’s and retrieve them. The…

    Embedding Jasper

    Jasper is the JSP compiler inside Tomcat. For reasons, mainly of curiosity, I wanted to build a Pragmatach plugin which exposes Jasper.  Pragmatach supports some template engines such as FreeMarker, ThymeLeaf and Velocity, but I thought Jasper would be a good addition. I chose to use Tomcat 6, mainly because Tomcat 7 uses Servlet 3.0.  Pragmatach…

    I recently had reason to get to know OpenAPI at work, so I decided to become familiar with it. I have a HomeSeer home controller at home, which exposes a JSON API, so I decided to write a Java OpenAPI server to expose the JSON API over OpenAPI. The net result is hsOpenAPI. It exposes…

    I’ve recently been quite interested in Graph languages, not for Graph Databases, but for representing information, in code that is essentially “things” and “relationships”. For example, one perspective on Organizations is that they are simply representable as people, systems and the information that flows between them. Those three building blocks are, in theory, enough to…
