Write a python script for mass renaming music files according to labels.

[ashi_1]

Write a python script for mass renaming music files according to labels. The script takes an existing format of files in
current directory and an expected output format and prints a list of old -> new file name tuples.
Format can be any string that contains any number of the labels: <artist>, <album>, <track>, <year>

Assume file names match input format.

Sample list of input files:

Bob Dylan - 01 You're No Good (1962).mp3
Bob Dylan - 02 Talkin' New York (1962).mp3
Bob Dylan - 03 In My Time of Dyin' (1962).mp3
Bob Dylan - 04 Man of Constant Sorrow (1962).mp3
Bob Dylan - 05 Fixin' to Die (1962).mp3
Bob Dylan - 06 Pretty Peggy-O (1962).mp3
Sample input format:

<album> - <track> <title> (<year>).mp3
Sample output format:

Bob Dylan/<year> <album>/<track> <title>.mp3
Expected output:

Bob Dylan - 01 You're No Good (1962).mp3 -> Bob Dylan/1962 Bob Dylan/01 You're No Good.mp3
Bob Dylan - 02 Talkin' New York (1962).mp3 -> Bob Dylan/1962 Bob Dylan/02 Talkin' New York.mp3
Bob Dylan - 03 In My Time of Dyin' (1962).mp3 -> Bob Dylan/1962 Bob Dylan/03 In My Time of Dyin'.mp3
Bob Dylan - 04 Man of Constant Sorrow (1962).mp3 -> Bob Dylan/1962 Bob Dylan/04 Man of Constant Sorrow.mp3
Bob Dylan - 05 Fixin' to Die (1962).mp3 -> Bob Dylan/1962 Bob Dylan/05 Fixin' to Die.mp3
Bob Dylan - 06 Pretty Peggy-O (1962).mp3 -> Bob Dylan/1962 Bob Dylan/06 Pretty Peggy-O.mp3
Bonus: also rename the files and create required directories along the way

Here's a better idea: you show us how far you have got with your code, and where you are having problems. Then someone can actually try and help you. Deal?

Beets is exactly this. Don't try to rip it off OP, it'll be painfully obvious.
