Fix your MP3 id3 metadata using Shazam (songrec)
#!/usr/bin/env python3
#
# Script assumes you have songrec and id3tool installed.
#
# https://github.com/marin-m/SongRec
# https://github.com/zerodivide1/id3tool
#
# Once you've got those installed, just run it from the current path, installing to /usr/local/bin or whatever you like
# It'll find all mp3 files, use songrec to recognise them, and id3tool to fix the tags, optionally you may want to use
# id3ren to rename the files appropriately.
