Music Metadata Extractor

Description

This PowerShell script scans specified directories for music files (.mp3 and .flac), extracts metadata (title and artist), and saves this information to a text file (LibOutput.txt) in the selected directory. If metadata is missing, the filename is used instead. The script includes a GUI for directory selection and offers post-process options to open the output file, the folder containing it, or to close the dialog box.

Features

• Extracts music metadata and saves it to a text file.
• Handles .mp3 and .flac file formats.
• Offers GUI-based directory selection.
• Provides options to open the file or folder, or close the application upon completion.

System Requirements

• Windows 10 or later.
• PowerShell 5.1 or higher.
• .NET Framework 4.5 or higher (for System.Windows.Forms).

Installation

1. Download the Script:

   • Download the ExtractMusicMetadata.ps1 script from this repository.

2. Prepare the Batch File:

   • Create a batch file named PrintLibToText.bat in the same directory as the script. This batch file will be used to run the PowerShell script.

Batch File Setup

Create a new text file and rename it to PrintLibToText.bat. Edit it with the following content:

@echo off
PowerShell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File "ExtractMusicMetadata.ps1"
pause

Make sure that the path to the PowerShell script is correct. Adjust "ExtractMusicMetadata.ps1" if the script is located in a different folder.
