Unfortunately at the moment it's Windows only, as I was originally just building this for personal use I chose to develop in C# / WPF. Once I finish Symphony off I will definitely look at a more universal solution.

@Ethyria I was going to start manually going through my music this evening but will hold off for now. Thank you for taking the time to develop this software, looking forward to using it. If possible could you allow multiple music folders? I have mind based in users.

Music/user1/album artist/album/
Music/user2/album artist/album
Etc...

Where are you sourcing the artwork from?

Thank you for the consideration

Sure, I don't see why not. I can allow for multiple sources but they would still show all combined together in one list of artists on the left

Haven't even started on the scrapers yet unfortunately as i'm still working on the GUI and parsing/writing NFO's. Off the top of my head I would guess I would use AudioDB and Fanart.tv, but I'm definitely open to suggestions.


With regards to the folder structure, I use: Music/Artist/Album. Does anyone else use anything different?

If it's all standard Windows stuff it'll probably run OK under Wine Smile

Can't wait to try it and see!

FWIW, Mine is set up like the following:
Music\Artist\Year-Album\
This looks awesome and can't wait.

@Ethyria perhaps look at Musicbrainz since that is what xbmc now uses for music. Seems to make the most sense iml

Thanks ccruzen, I want to make sure I account for everyone's folder structure.

Thanks bry-, i'll be working on the scraper next so I'll definitely add Musicbrainz to the list.

I can certainly look at adding it, as I'm working on the nfo parsing and writing at the moment. I don't personally use ratings, ideally would the rating be scraped via the api's or would it be entered by yourself in the program?

I would prefer to enter my ratings in the program myself and hopefully Kodi would pick up on them when updating the music library then people could make some smart playlists based on artists 5 stars, 4 stars or all 5 star tracks etc...

Just a quick update: I have finished on the xml parsing for the reading and writing of NFO files and have begun work on the scraper. At the moment it is using MusicBrainz as the initial search, then using the Music Brainz ID to query TheAudioDB and Fanart.tv.

If there are any other scrapers that you guys use that I am not aware of, let me know and i'll add them.


Also, at Jay La Funk's request, I'll be adding the ability to rate albums / tracks. I just need to work out the best option.
