Here is a new audio tagger I’ve written:

[https://github.com/jecaro/htagcli/](https://github.com/jecaro/htagcli/)

Over the years, I’ve used countless tools to manage my music library. I’ve finally settled with a mix of [beets](https://github.com/beetbox/beets), [bliss](https://www.blisshq.com/), and [eyeD3](https://github.com/nicfit/eyeD3) (+ some additional tools and scripts to normalize the audio). But I have never really been happy with these.

So, I finally took the time to write my own tool, which behaves exactly as I like. That makes me super happy, and it can be useful for you too 🙂

The main difference with other CLI tools is that `htagcli` can perform various checks on your music collection. It’s inspired by bliss in this regard. One can check, for example, if every audio file has a set of mandatory tags (year, genre …), if the filename matches a specific pattern, if all albums have a cover, etc…
