The problem: Didn't want to mess with heavy music management software just to edit music metadata on my headless media server, so I built this simple web-based solution.

The solution:

  • Web interface accessible from any device
  • Bulk operations: fix artist/album/year across entire folders
  • Album art upload and folder-wide application
  • Works directly with existing music directories
  • Docker deployment, no desktop environment required

Perfect for headless Jellyfin/Plex servers where you just need occasional metadata fixes without the overhead of full music management suites. This elegantly solves a problem for me, so maybe it'll be helpful to you as well.
