Thanks for you feedback. Yes, audio books are the main purpose, but it should also work for music and even video in some cases (e.g. mp4).
> Most of my tagging is done for Music. I know it seems fairly out of scope for this project, but do you have any plans to integrate updating tags from online sources eg. MusicBrainz, GoodReads etc.
Yes, I have indeed. Since online resources are sometimes problematic regarding legal issues, I have to further investigate this, but things I plan to implement natively are:
Audible, MusicBrainz, GoodReads, Bookbeat, Librevox, Opf (https://docs.fileformat.com/ebook/opf/ https://docs.fileformat.com/ebook/opf/), Cue-sheets, OverDrive and more
> I didn't read further enough, I like the custom tagger support. Some curation or perhaps a collection of "official" plugins for popular providers would probably help with adoption.
Yeah that would be awesome... tone is pretty new, but in the long term I plan native C# plugins to support:
- custom taggers
- custom dump (information output)
- custom shell execution (ffmpeg to split, merge and apply filters to audio)
As well as extensive scripting with JavaScript. Let's see how it goes :-)
What also often helps a lot is the
--path-pattern
stuff. You can transfer filenames into tags that way very easily. A "rename" command would help to also rename files by tags.
The following commands are planned on my list:
*dump - show metadata in different formats (done)
*tag - modify metadata by different sources (done)
rename - rename files by tags
split - split a file by chapters
merge - merge multiple files to one with chapters
convert - convert files to other formats keeping metadata
