Intro

TagSelecta is a cross-platform, opinionated command-line tool for managing audio file metadata (tags).

The tool supports two modes: interactive UI (TUI) and command-line interface (CLI).

To run the TUI, simply run tagselecta ui <path>.

To execute commands from the CLI, run tagselecta <command> <path>.

Path can be a single file or a directory (recursive).

Some commands available only in the CLI mode: find to find files by metadata.

The CLI is built using Spectre.Console for rich command-line output and TagLibSharp for tag manipulation.

TUI vs CLI

The program is primarily designed for use in TUI mode. However, the CLI mode is particularly useful for scripting and automating tasks.
