# audioconvert

**A scrappy library that tags and converts audio files to ALAC m4a. Written for those that use the macOS music app.**

### Quick start

1. Clone the repository

   ```bash

   git clone https://github.com/pynathanthomas/audioconvert.git

   ```

2. Install dependencies

   ```bash

   cd audioconvert; pip3 install -r requirements.txt

   ```

3. Open `convert_dir.py` and replace `dir` and `auto_folder` with your path to Automatically Add to Music.localized.

   

4. Now you can run

   ```bash

   python3 ~/audioconvert/convert_dir.py

   ```

   to convert and move all the tracks.

5. Now the program will split cue files, convert everything to ALAC and sort it out in the Music app!

## Using `cueparser.py`

This is the machinery behind processing .cue files. It assumes there is artwork in the parent directory and loads it.

```python

from cueparser import Cue

my_cue = Cue('/path/to/cue/file.cue')

# to change attributes, use like a dict

my_cue['artist'] = 'New Artist'

my_cue['tracklist'][0]['name'] = 'The first track'

# this will split the large files and tag them

# it converts to ALAC by default

my_cue.split()

```
