amtl is an AppleScript-based application for outputting metadata contained in MP3s. It uses only the Finder, and requires no add-ons.
Choose any directory, and it will scan all subdirectories for folders containing MP3s.
Text files are created for each folder found, and are stored in "My Documents".
A few notes:
The program only looks MP3 files, not FLAC, ogg, etc.
It has been tested to work on a clean install of Mac OS X Lion.
I am not responsible for any damages or losses occurring from the operation of the application.
To install, unzip and drag the app to your Applications folder.
Changelog:
Version 1.4
Rewrote directory selection from scratch - script will now will isolate infinite levels of subfolders; this also works in multiple selections.
Failing error message displays in Growl if no folders or subfolders selected had MP3s in them.
"Folder size" now accounts for everything else in an MP3 folder's directory, in addition to the MP3s.
Changed how one MP3 in a folder is processed -- now its album name is used.
Changed output for mixtapes.
For album lengths or track times that can not be processed, "--:--" or "--:--:--" replaces times.
Fixed "null" genres from showing up.
Fixed "folder size" math for large directories.
Fixed Growl notices to also work with new App Store version.
Fixed error concerning very small album times.
Fixed more jumbled letters resulting from umlauts and hats on characters.
Fixed more errors caused by incomplete MP3 tags.
Fixed errors that occur when Spotlight has not indexed directories properly. Replaces missing info with "N/A".
Note: AFP shares will not output information. Please avoid selecting files located here.
