music_indexer
is a tool for indexing messy directories of music files. It grew out of my need to track the different places
I was storing music files of various formats.
music_indexer
searches a root directory for music files and generates a SQLite database file with metadata (artist, track
number, etc.) which can be used for further analysis and management scripts.
I store music files on several different drives. I got sick of having to search through all of them to find my music. Furthermore, I couldn't find a single music player that properly indexed across large drives and output a SQL format for user analysis. I decided to write this tool to provide a foundation for building a better solution for data geeks who have a large music collection.
