HARMONIZER

PyPI version PyPI - Python Version

This library helps you to convert, normalize, enrich and validate your music library. It fullfills the need we have at imr.party to harmonize the music library of our webradio.

The library comes shipped with a CLI tools which allow you to process audio files in a directory to create normalized mp3 versions of all files, enrich their metadata from various sources (Discogs, Spotify).

What it does

  • Audio conversion: Converts FLAC, MP3, AAC (m4a) to MP3 (128k, 192k, 320k).
  • Audio normalization: Peak normalize your input audio. Normalization is expressed in headroom ratio (0.1 means max peak will me 90% of the maximum volume).
  • Metadata extraction :
    • Audio tags: extracted from the audio and written to the JSON metadata results.
    • Audio fingerprinting: Chromaprint fingerprinting extracted from the audio and written to the JSON metadata results.
  • Metadata enrichment:
    • Use Discogs API to find the releases related to the audio track. Get your tokens here
    • Use Spotify API to find the audio track in their catalog. Get your API secrets here
  • Covert Art extraction (MP3 only) : extract the covert art to an image file.
  • Validation : run various integrity check to assert the input audio respects the rules you defined in the your config.
    • Minimum input bit rate (MP3 only)
    • Mandatory audio tags
    • Accepted input mime types

Outputs

All file processing will create 2 or 3 files :

  • The mp3 converted and normalized audio version of the input audio file.
  • A metadata json file (check metadata_output.json)
  • A cover art image file if present in the original file
