muziqa: mp3 collection visualizer
I have thousands of MP3s and FLACs sitting in folders. I've been collecting music for years but never had a good sense of what was actually in there. So I built muziqa — a command-line tool that reads your music tags and generates charts. What it does Run it against a folder: $ muziqa ~/Music It reads the ID3/Vorbis/MP4 tags from every supported file (MP3, FLAC, WAV, M4A, OGG), recursively, and produces two PNG charts: top 20 artists by track count, side by side with tracks by decade tracks by year, with a 5-year rolling average of mean tracks per artist overlaid on a twin axis Optionally, with --country and --genre , it queries MusicBrainz to look up each artist's country of origin and genre, then generates two more charts: tracks by country tracks by genre The MusicBrainz lookup respects their 1 req/sec rate limit and caches results locally, so it only runs once.
