additional tag creation

[gthieleb]

After ripping I want whipper to add additional tags from musicbrainz to the file. For some reason I want the barcode tag to be included. Currently a flac file is created with this tag set:

$ metaflac --list file.flac

Where do I find the list of valid tags (valid in context of whipper) in the code?

morituri/common/program.py

Whipper uses the Musicbrainz NGS python bindings to get metadata from MusicBrainz.

You can use other tools for that too. Look at Exfalso (part of QuodLibet for instance).

For whipper, we have to all agree on the direction we should go regarding tags, but current consensus is we don’t want to add more and more things while they are other great tools out there for such purposes, but also that this discussion should be postponed toward 1.0 release.
