Beatport Tracktagger

Ever bought tracks from beatport that didn't have tags in it? Or you simply wanted to tag files automatically, by scraping?

This multithread tagging tool uses fuzzy string matching to do the work. It's capable of getting useful tags from beatport (-s) and assigning them into audio file (-t). You can overwrite existing tags in file (-f).

Even though it's able to tag files only using title and artist in attributes (-z), tagger works best with beatport id in front of the filename e.g. 5024319_track.mp3 (that's format from bought beatport tracks).

Fuzzy matching uses probabilities, instead of exact 'yes' or 'no' matching. It can return false match, when info is not accurate enough or when beatport doesn't know about the release yet. I noticed that Beatport sometimes change the id of tracks.
