Last week we explored our options to work with MP3 metadata. However, if you want to put your music on an iPhone, you most likely go for FLAC – the Free Lossless Audio Codec. Luckily for us, Mutagen can work with FLAC as well and it is even simpler than MP3.
The metadata in audio files help us to organise songs and allows tools like iTunes to show us the artist of the song it is playing. As long as the metadata is correct, everything works nicely. But what can we do if the data is wrong or not set at all? Let us explore our options and set some metadata.
I have some videos from which I would like to extract the audio and save it as MP3. I could do that manually with VLC media player, but there is a much better solution in Python.
I wanted to test a Python script that puts files into folders based on their creation time. But how can I create files in the past without using a time machine?
While sorting my images I came up with a little idea: Can I find all images I took with a specific lens? As it turns out, Python offers a wide range of packages to get this information from the Exif metadata. This post is part of my journey to learn Python.
