Expand Musicbrainz Use to Support More Formats #32

Open extrowerk opened 8 years ago

extrowerk commented 8 years ago

like m4a and so on. There is planty formats that supports id3 or other similar tags. The MediaPlayer can play them, but ArmyKnife cannot read the id3 tags from some formats.

I have a big collection of m4a, alac and flac files and would like to use the attributes, but i don't want to create all of them with hand. But ArmyKnife doesn't want to work with anything, except mp3.

Is it possible to support different formats too?

ArmyKnife makes use of taglib, so with some work it could be updated to add support for more formats. https://taglib.github.io/

We can leverage musicbrainz to add support for many more types of audio files and tags. The left side of the interface will likely need to have a scrollbar added and allow the list to grow. Perhaps pick a common set of default tags, but allow it to be expanded.
