Add metadata tags to downloaded mp3 files
Closed this issue · 4 comments
Clear and concise description of the problem
As someone who is using PodFetch to automatically download podcasts to a directory which I am then syncing to my phone using Syncthing and listening using VLC, I would like to ensure podcasts have an artist/album assigned to them, so they are not in a generic uncatagorised album.
Suggested solution
Automatically populate data if it does not already exist and it is available from iTunes, including:
Artist, e.g., 'The WAN Show'Album, e.g., 'The WAN Show'Genre, e.g., 'Podcast'Date, e.g., 2023Track number(if possible?), 110
Alternative
No response
Additional context
I think Artist and Album would be most useful to populate.
As an example of a podcast on iTunes with metadata correctly set in the mp3 itself: The Homelab Show
As an example of a podcast on iTunes with metadata incorrectly set (absent) in the mp3 itself: The WAN Show

Seems to be pretty easy to accomplish with this crate https://crates.io/crates/id3. I'll implement this tomorrow.
Very good Idea.
You could add the following tags :
Cover / picture / album art
URL = to add the internal podfech url
Comment = to add more information
Title = Episode name
≠
Album = Podcast name
Closed. I implemented it just like you described it.
Thanks very much - working perfectly for me
