Music-Metadata-and-Lyrics

Python project that updates metadata (including album art) and searches for lyrics from the Genius API.

Requirements

• A Genius API Token

Getting the project

Download the project or clone it with git. You can create a virtual environment if you can. Install the requisites by running

pip install -r requirements.txt

You will need to create an auth_token.txt file in the Source folder and paste a Genius token inside it. You can generate a genius token here

Update Metadata

Metadata.py takes in an mp3 file (or a folder path) and searches for the corresponding metadata from Genius.com using the Genius API and Eyed3 module.

Here is an example in a test folder I made:

Run Metadata Search (collected from Genius.com):

Finished Search:

Updated mp3 file:

Metadata.py contains the funtcion get_metadata,

get_metadata(song_file, art_option=0)

Which is called with a file path to an mp3 file, and an optional art_option which is set to 0 by default.

Setting art_option to 0 will update the file with the songs Album Art,

Setting it to 1 will update the file to the songs Song Art, which sometimes differ.

Search Song Lyrics

GeniusLyrics.py takes in a song name and artist name and searches Genius.com for the lyrics. The lyrics are saved to a json file called song_lyrics.json. Searches are performed on this saved data when offline. Here is an example, running GUI.py which is a simple gui for getting song lyrics
