This is an extended version of the mediafile library of the beets project. It is used by the Python audio renaming command line tool audiorename.
The name phrydy is pronounced like the German word Friedi.
In the previous versions the phrydy library offers a standalone
version of the mediafile.py included in the beets project. Now
beets has its own separate library called mediafile. It might be
better to use the upstream library directly.
phrydy offeres two media file classes: MediaFile is the
looped through and unmodified version that comes directly from the beets
project. MediaFileExtended is the slightly modified and extended
version:
albumartist_sortcomposer_sortmb_workid
workwork_hierarchyreleasegroup_types
- A little command line debug utility named
phrydy-debug. - A dictionary containing documentation about the various meta data fields.
- Some code to generate documentation from the field documentation dictionary.
git clone git@github.com:Josef-Friedrich/phrydy.git
