media-sound/beets. Best music metadata manager out there, period. There |
| 13 |
isn't any song metadata as such on a CD, so beets uses musicbrainz as a |
| 14 |
data source. You sometimes have to get your hands dirty and manage it |
| 15 |
properly, especially for more esoteric CDs like you just bought. Or |
| 16 |
maybe you're lucky :-) |

I find for popular CDs (like what my kids buy in music stores), that k3b |
| 19 |
does a fine job of getting metadata when ripping - it looks the CD up on |
| 20 |
CDDB. |

|

To do the job properly, and fully manage all the metadata, nothing comes |
| 23 |
close to beets. It's also a cli python app which will go down well |
| 24 |
around here, none of that "point mith a mouse and click" nonsense :-) |
