This project aims to populate a database with attributes of various songs, given the path to songs root directory. The songs can be of either mp3 or mp4 or m4a format.

Songs are placed in a hierarchical directory structure inside the songs root directory as follows:

• Artist Name > AlbumName > SongName

So, a song "Problem" by Ariana Grande will be in the folder as "Arian Grande > My Everything > Problem.mp3" with rest of "My Everything" album's songs in it.

Install following prerequisites:

• apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev python-dev python-setuptools

Specified in requirements.txt

$ pip install -r requirements.txt

Create a data.json file in the project root. It should look something like below:

{
    "DEFAULT": {
        "lastfm_api_key": "api_key",
        "lastfm_api_secret": "api_secret",
        "db_backend": "mysql",
        "db_name": "test",
        "db_user_name": "test",
        "db_password": "password",
        "db_host": "local"
    },
    "PRODUCTION":{
    }
}
