macOS Applescript MP3 Tags from Filename

[LERsince1991]

Hi,

I currently use an app for this which works fine but I am trying to automate the process and run this script within a folder action workflow.

I want to take some information from the file name of an mp3 file, and tag the ID3 with "a song title", "an artist" and "an album" (constant).

Songs are saved as;
%artist% - %title% %ConstantTextIgnore%.extension

for example

Ed Sheeran - Sing [constant text to ignore].mp3
and then set the album as as "NewMusic"

Could anyone do this please?


p.s. I found something close to what I want I think online, except it runs using iTunes rather than as part of a folder action workflow, and it also is specifically for setting the year only.

tell application "iTunes"
    repeat with theTrack in selection
        set theFile to location of theTrack
        tell application "Finder" to set theName to name of theFile
        set theYear to my parse_year(theName)
        if theYear is not "" then
            set the year of theTrack to theYear
        end if
    end repeat
end tell

on parse_year(filenameText)
    -- returns the year if it exists in filename with form song-1965.mp3, else returns empty string
    try
        set yearResult to do shell script "echo " & quoted form of filenameText & " | perl -ne 'print $1 if s/(?<=-)(\\d+)(?=(\\..*|$))/$1/'"
    on error
        set yearResult to ""
    end try
    return yearResult
end parse_year
