Ordnung is a tool to automatically sort, organize and rename your music collection based on their tags like album, artist or title.

Usage

Right now, Ordnung can only be controlled via the command line. Basic usage is:

ordnung <directory> <pattern>

where <directory> is where your collection is stored right now. <pattern> is any path, which contains zero or more field references which are enclosed by percent marks. If, for example, you want to sort all your music located directly in C:\Music (not in any subfolders) by Artist, then Album and have the title as name, you'd use

ordnung "C:\Music" "C:\Music\%artist%\%album%\%title%"

to preview, and, if the displayed result is what you want,

ordnung -m "C:\Music" "C:\Music\%artist%\%album%\%title%"

to actually move and rename the files. Note that the file extension must not be added manually to the pattern.

See ordnung --help for more options.

Valid field references

These field references are currently supported:

• %title%
• %artist%
• %album artist%
• %album
• %composer
• %genre%
• %date%

If %album artist% would be empty otherwise, %artist% is used in its place.

Dependencies

Ordnung has been created using Python 2.6. The following 3rd party modules must be installed as well:

• Mutagen http://code.google.com/p/mutagen/
• Scott Paul Robertson's tag_wrapper http://git.scottr.org/tag_wrapper.git/
