✨ pyprinttags β€” it's the pyprinttags(1) era ✨

okay bestie, section 1 of the General Commands Manual, and it's giving "tiny script, huge main character energy" πŸ’…


πŸŽ€ NAME πŸŽ€

pyprinttags β€” the lil cutie that prints the tags of your audio files straight to stdout 🎡✨


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

pyprinttags [-b|--batch] file1 [file2] ...

πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

so pyprinttags is this small script that ships with the pytaglib python tag reading library 🫢. literally its whole job? it prints all the tags it finds in the audio files you hand it as command line parameters. no cap, that's the vibe. 🎧

now here's the part where it gets a little spicy 🌢️ β€” if a file has metadata that can not be textually represented, the program says so in the output. and then? then it asks you whether to remove those pieces from the file 😭. that whole interactive moment can be turned off with the -b option, so like, no surprises if you're scripting. πŸ‘‘


πŸ’– OPTIONS πŸ’–

  • -b, --batch β€” disables user interaction in case of unsupported metadata πŸ™ˆ. it's the "bestie I'm running this in a script, don't ask me questions" flag.
