Timbre 🐱

a music manager to finally solve this huge mess of music management.

⚠️ Timbre is in extreme alpha. Right now it can create a library, import and organize your music, scan it, and repair itself. Everything else, CD ripping, automatic tagging, and more, is the planned future of the project.

📋 Info

Currently, ripping CDs, adding metadata, organizing them, playing each, all different apps, each with its own problems, own load times, and own opinions. Everyone solves this by making workflows, but it's overly inefficient for something that should be solved already. Timbre is built to include all of those features in one app. Rip your CDs (or bring your own media files!), auto-organize them, and play them back in your favorite music player, all with one person's opinion instead of tons, seamlessly working, in a fast Rust app.

⌨️ Usage

timbre init - give Timbre a home (~/Music/Timbre/)
timbre import - creates an Import/ folder, drop music in, run again to organize it
timbre scan - see what's in your library
timbre repair - fix a broken library

🛠️ Building

cargo build --release

The output will be in target/release/timbre

Linux only.

🐈‍⬛ The Cat

Timbre is a bit cat themed, and powered by my cat, CatGPT (cat_01.jpg). The cat is not optional. Timbre needs the cat.
