General

  • Handle duplicate files
  • Add status codes all throught to assure the user
  • Have the ability to look at more than 5 searches
  • Fix regex so that it can take input from directories that are on the same working directory
  • Add error handling so that if there are no results something is printed to the screen, and the user can be prompted if they enter an incorrect selection
  • Refactor try catch no header exception
  • Accept stdin
  • Add stdin to songs
  • Convert file names to unescaped plain text for more matches
  • Escape characters on songs as well
  • Replace the status code that finds the amount of tracks in an album with the title and author of the album.

Argparse/Flags

  • Create a CLI interface with the argparse library
  • Add a flag to replace the file names with the track titles(https://docs.python.org/3/library/os.html#os.replace)
  • Add a flag to add track numbers to the files
  • Add a flag to scrape data for songs
  • Make the title flag work with the songs flag
  • Make an overwrite flag
  • Make a delete data flag
  • Make a stdin flag
  • Selection flag to select the first result

At a later date

  • Recreate the search system so that less identical matches are shown when you go to the next page. Eventually stop the searches.

Bugs

  • Fix songs missing metadata SOLUTION Files and their metadata can have small variations in their titles. Some albums data has capitalized two letter words, downloaded files may have lowercase two letter words.

    Replaced the in keyword with a regex search that ignores cases

  • Fix r and n flag deleting files SOLUTION have the r and n flags work irrespective of metadata being applied. Mutagen couldn't add metadata to the file because the files name was being changed.

    Added the file name to the ID3 method

  • Fix stdin flag breaking the selection SOLUTION Had to close stdin. I was searching for a way to close stdin because you have to close files using a similar method.

  • Titles with special character [] can not be matched

    Escaping special characters in track titles
in order to match more files to track titles.
The re.search method does not work with escaped
special characters since they are regex characters.

Searching for a new method to find escaped substrings
within a string.

SOLUTION Track names refrain from using [] instead using
(). Substituted those out and discovered the obvious
solution to case insensitive substring matching by converting
both strings to lowercase and using the in Python keyword.
