Tools

Brief information about the provided tools.

All tools are written in Java, and were tested against iTunes 9.0.3. To launch, build a jar then run:

java -cp itunes.jar org.kafsemo.titl.tools.command

ExportRatings

Usage: ExportRatings

Extracts ratings from an iTunes library as a text file.

e.g.

ExportRatings "C:\Users\Joseph\Music\iTunes\iTunes Library.itl"

MoveMusic

Usage: MoveMusic [--use-urls]

Modifies an iTunes library file to reflect a bulk move of music files from one directory to another.

e.g.

MoveMusic "C:\Users\Joseph\Music\iTunes\iTunes Library.itl" E:\mp3s "C:\Users\Joseph\Music\mp3s"

The --use-urls switch will convert tracks' URLs, rather than filenames. The default (filenames) works for me on Windows but a user reported that using URLs worked better for them.

ShowAllArtwork

Usage: ShowAllArtwork

Simple hack to flash up all local artwork as a collage.

e.g.

ShowAllArtwork "C:\Users\Joseph\Music\iTunes"

LibraryAsRdf

In titl-rdf.

Usage: LibraryAsRdf [artwork output directory]

Extracts track details and artwork as RDF with separate image files.

e.g.

LibraryAsRdf >itunes.turtle "C:\Users\Joseph\Music\iTunes\iTunes Library.itl" "C:\Users\Joseph\output-itunes-art"
