Index

A tiny and fast music tag editor that aims to please the most demanding folks!

Index provides a very simple and minimalistic TUI that allows for quick and efficient tagging of multiple records and songs at once.

Installation

You'll need Go 1.8 at least (usually available by your package manager), and the taglib library, which can be installed as follows:

Debian

# apt-get update
# apt-get install libtagc0-dev

Void

# xbps-install -S taglib-devel

Afterwards the installation is pretty simple (make sure you have your GOPATH set properly):

$ go get -u gitlab.com/Sacules/index

This will clone the repo and install Index on $GOPATH/bin, and should pull and install all the necessary dependencies. Use this command each time you want to update Index to the latest version.

Usage

$ index -h
Usage: index [OPTION]... filename...

Filename has to end in .mp3, .m4a, .ogg, or .flac.

Options:
  -a    auto-tag the given tracks (not implemented yet)
  -d name
        recursively explore the specified directory
  -m    manually tag the given tracks (default)
  -h    print help information

By default, Manual tag editing is enabled, so doing

$ index song.mp3

will result in the following:
