lyrictagger

===========

Automatically add lyrics to music files

Depends on [eyeD3](http://eyed3.nicfit.net/) for writing lyrics

Installation

------------

First ensure that eyeD3 is installed

- MacOS X

        brew install eyed3

- Other Unix (one of the following)

        [sudo] easy_install eyed3

        [sudo] pip install eyed3

        [sudo] apt-get install eyed3

Then install `lyrictagger`

    npm install -g lyrictagger

Example

-------

Run with a music file as the first argument to gather and write lyrics to

the file (lyrics snipped for brevity).

    $ lyrictagger ~/Downloads/01\ Specular\ Reflection.mp3

    processing: 01 Specular Reflection.mp3

    [Music & lyrics by Between The Buried And Me]

    [Prospect #1]

    A twisted crash... vibrations forming my personal currency.

    A lifeline... a sweatbox, the linear mind as one.

    Who would have thought?

    ... SNIPPED ...

    write these lyrics to /Users/dave/Downloads/01 Specular Reflection.mp3?

    [y/N]: y

    eyeD3_script exited with code 0

First, `lyrictagger` gathers and prints the lyrics it finds for the song, and

then asks you if you'd like to write the lyrics to the file (supply `--yes` or `-y`

to assume yes).

Then, assuming you say yes, it forks off `eyed3` to write the lyrics to the file,

and prints the exit code of eyed3.

Usage

-----

You can run with `--tags` to view the metadata of a file.

    $ lyrictagger --tags ~/Downloads/01\ Specular\ Reflection.mp3

    processing: 01 Specular Reflection.mp3

    { title: 'Specular Reflection',

      artist: [ 'Between the Buried and Me' ],

      albumartist: [],

      album: 'The Parallax: Hypersleep Dialogues',

      year: '2011',

      track: { no: 1, of: 0 },

      genre: [],

      disk: { no: 0, of: 0 },

      picture:

       [ { format: 'jpg',

           data:  } ],

      filename: '/Users/dave/Downloads/01 Specular Reflection.mp3' }

Run with `--out` to just print the lyrics.

    $ lyrictagger --out ~/Downloads/01\ Specular\ Reflection.mp3

    processing: 01 Specular Reflection.mp3
