source
Rename audio files from metadata tags.
How to specify the target directory?
1. By the default the audio files are moved or renamed to the parent
working directory.
2. Use the option ``-t <folder>`` or ``--target <folder>`` to specifiy
a target directory.
3. Use the option ``-a`` or ``--source-as-target`` to copy or rename
your audio files within the source directory.

options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--config CONFIG Load a configuration file in INI format.
-v, --version show program's version number and exit
[selection]:
The following arguments are intended to select the audio files.
source A folder containing audio files or a single audio file. If you specify a folder, the program will search for audio files in all subfolders. If you want to
rename the audio files in the current working directory, then specify a dot (“.”).
-t TARGET, --target TARGET
Target directory
-a, --source-as-target
Use specified source folder as target directory
[rename]:
These options configure the actual renaming process.
-p BACKUP_FOLDER, --backup-folder BACKUP_FOLDER
Folder to store the backup files in.
-B, --best-format Use the best format. This option only takes effect if the target file already exists. `audiorename` now checks the qualtity of the two audio files (source and
target). The tool first examines the format. For example a FLAC file wins over a MP3 file. Then `audiorename` checks the bitrate.
-d, --dry-run Don’t rename or copy the audio files.
move action:
-C, --copy Copy files instead of rename / move.
-M, --move Move / rename a file. This is the default action. The option can be omitted.
-n, --no-rename Don’t rename, move, copy or perform a dry run. Do nothing.
cleaning action:
The cleaning actions are only executed if the target file already exists.
-A, --backup Backup the audio files instead of deleting them. The backup directory can be specified with the --backup-folder option.
-D, --delete Delete the audio files instead of creating a backup.
[filters]:
The following options filter the music files that are renamed according to certain rules.
-F, --album-complete Rename only complete albums.
-m ALBUM_MIN, --album-min ALBUM_MIN
Rename only albums containing at least X files.
-e EXTENSION, --extension EXTENSION
Extensions to rename.
--genre-classical GENRE_CLASSICAL
List of genres to be classical.
-s FIELD_SKIP, --field-skip FIELD_SKIP
Skip renaming if field is empty.
[template_settings]:
-k, --classical Use the default format for classical music. If you use this option, both parameters (--default and --compilation) have no effect. Classical music is sorted by
the lastname of the composer.
-S, --shell-friendly Rename audio files “shell friendly”, this means without whitespaces, parentheses etc.
--no-soundtrack Do not use the path template for soundtracks. Use instead the default path template.
[path_templates]:
audiorename provides default path templates. You can specify your own path templates using the following options.
-f PATH_TEMPLATE, --default PATH_TEMPLATE, --format PATH_TEMPLATE
The default path template for audio files that are not compilations or compilations. Use metadata fields and functions to build the path template.
-c PATH_TEMPLATE, --compilation PATH_TEMPLATE
Path template for compilations. Use metadata fields and functions to build the path template.
--soundtrack PATH_TEMPLATE
Path template for a soundtrack audio file. Use metadata fields and functions to build the path template.
--format-classical PATH_TEMPLATE
Path template for classical audio file. Use metadata fields and functions to build the path template.
[cli_output]:
This group contains all options that affect the output on the command line interface (cli).
-K, --color Colorize the standard output of the program with ANSI colors.
--no-color Don’t colorize the standard output of the program with ANSI colors.
-b, --debug Print debug informations about the single metadata fields.
-j, --job-info Display informations about the current job. This informations are printted out before any actions on the audio files are executed.
-l, --mb-track-listing
Print track listing for Musicbrainz website: Format: track. title (duration), e. g.: 1. He, Zigeuner (1:31) 2. Hochgetürmte Rimaflut (1:21)
-o, --one-line Display the rename / copy action status on one line instead of two.
-T, --stats Show statistics at the end of the execution.
-V, --verbose Make the command line output more verbose.
[metadata_actions]:
-E, --enrich-metadata
Fetch the tag fields “work” and “mb_workid” from Musicbrainz and save this fields into the audio file. The audio file must have the tag field “mb_trackid”. The
give audio file is not renamed.
-r, --remap-classical
Remap some fields to fit better for classical music: “composer” becomes “artist”, “work” becomes “album”, from the “title” the work prefix is removed
(“Symphonie No. 9: I. Allegro” -> “I. Allegro”) and “track” becomes the movement number. All overwritten fields are safed in the “comments” field.
Use the --config option to load a configuration file. The command
line arguments overwrite the corresponding options of the configuration
file.
audiorenamer --config /home/user/my-config.iniIt is also possible to load several configuration files. Values of the latter file overwrite the values of the first files.
audiorenamer --config base.ini --config overload.iniAlmost all command line arguments have a corresponding option in the
configuration file. audiorename implements a basic configuration
language which provides a structure similar to what’s found in Microsoft
Windows INI
