I recently installed Jellyfin media system using docker that is running on my Raspberry Pi 4 Open Media Vault server.

 

Jellyfin is just perfect for my music setup! I have a couple of Pi music boxes running mopidy mpd. Plus kodi boxes. Everything just interconnects so easily.

 

I don't really have a CD player anymore so I've decided to rip all my CD's to flac. Using abcde command line which generally does a OK job.

 

Using musicbrainz as the metadata lookup. While this works for most CD's. There are inconsistencies. For example some of The Doors albums tagged as "Doors" artist. Plus I have a bunch of older music that is missing quite a bit of metadata.

 

Can someone recommend a good music tagging program to use that is reasonably simple to use? Needs to be able to run on raspberry pi arm debian 64 bit. GUI based or command line. I can just temp move nas drive to desktop pi.

 

Thanks :-)

CD ripping programs work best if they have a good Internet music database to access.  Which can be a problem as there are lots of music databases and the data in each one may or may not be the best for your particular CD.  The abcde command line program is OK for Linux systems - it integrates the whole process.  For common CDs, it should be fine using the Musicbrainz database.  But with my collection of Baroque CDs it has problems - quite a number of my CDs are simply not present in that database.  Such as one I was trying today "Rent A Nightingale".  But when I use my paid copy of Nero Burning Rom 2022 on my Windows PC, it uses a pay Gracenote database that does have proper data for that CD.  However, Burning ROM does not find CD covers automatically as abcde does.

 

So I would recommend that you try abcde and if it works for a CD, good.  If not, put that CD aside for trying with other programs or databases later.
