About:
SongKong is an automated music tagging application that fixes and enriches audio file metadata using acoustic fingerprinting and database lookups. It accurately identifies tracks, updates ID3 tags, and organizes music libraries by standardizing file names and folder structures. The tool streamlines library management by handling large collections with minimal manual intervention.
Key Features:
  • Acoustic fingerprinting for accurate track identification
  • Automatic metadata population from MusicBrainz and Discogs
  • Batch processing of large music libraries
  • File renaming and folder organization
  • Support for multiple audio formats including FLAC, MP3, and ALAC
Use Cases:
  • Cleaning up and standardizing a disorganized digital music collection
  • Automatically tagging newly acquired or untagged audio files
  • Preparing music libraries for media servers like Plex or JRiver
Alternatives:
  • beets – beets is a command-line tool offering more customization via plugins, whereas SongKong provides a graphical interface with automated, out-of-the-box workflows.
  • MusicBrainz Picard – Picard is the official MusicBrainz tagger with a strong community; SongKong offers a more automated, hands-off approach with broader database integration.
