About:
Flactag is a command-line utility designed to accurately tag single album FLAC audio files using data extracted from MusicBrainz CUE sheets. It automates the process of embedding metadata such as artist, album, track titles, and genre directly into the lossless audio files. This tool is essential for users who maintain their music libraries in a precise, structured format.
Key Features:
  • Automated tagging from MusicBrainz CUE data
  • Supports single-file FLAC albums with embedded cuesheets
  • Command-line interface for scripting and batch processing
  • Accurate metadata embedding for artist, album, and track info
Use Cases:
  • Archiving physical CD rips as single FLAC files with accurate metadata
  • Organizing and tagging large, existing lossless music libraries
  • Automating music library management via shell scripts
Alternatives:
  • beets – Beets is a more comprehensive music library manager with auto-tagging and organization, whereas flactag is a focused tool for CUE-based tagging.
  • MusicBrainz Picard – Picard is a GUI-based acoustic fingerprinting tool, while flactag relies on existing CUE sheet data and is CLI-driven.
