A python program to fetch credits info from apple music about albums, songs and music-videos and tag MP4 and M4A files using those credits info.
- Can tag an album or a single track or a music-video
- Embeds and saves artworks
- Saves animated artworks if available
- Saves time-synced lyrics if you have an Apple Music subscription
- Also tags the lyrics to the media file if available
First of all clone this project or download the project as a zip file and extract it to your pc. (or you can see Releases)
git clone https://github.com/dropcreations/Manzana-Apple-Music-Tagger.git && cd Manzana-Apple-Music-Tagger
Install required modules for python (use pip3 if pip doesn't work for you)
pip install -r requirements.txt
Then you have to ready your files for tagging. So, if you are tagging a complete album you must have the tracks in M4A format (with AAC or ALAC codec) and then rename each file as 01, 02, 03,... (number must have 2-digits) respectively to the order of tracks in Apple Music. For an example, assume you have an album called "Doja Cat - Planet Her" in M4A format and they are currently renamed as below
Doja Cat - Planet Her (https://music.apple.com/us/album/planet-her/1573475827)
│
├── Alone.m4a
├── Been Like This.m4a
├── Get Into It (Yuh).m4a
├── I Don't Do Drugs.m4a
├── Imagine.m4a
├── Kiss Me More.m4a
├── Love To Dream.m4a
├── Naked.m4a
├── Need to Know.m4a
├── Options.m4a
├── Payday.m4a
├── Women.m4a
└── You Right.m4a
So, now you have to rename those as below.
