**DOCUMENTING LOCAL MUSIC LIBRARY MANAGEMENT PROCEDURES**

## 1. INTRODUCTION AND LEGAL FRAMEWORK

### 1.1. Policy Overview

This Music Management Documentation (hereinafter referred to as "the Documentation") provides technical procedures and instructions for managing local music libraries on Linux systems. This Documentation operates within our comprehensive legal and policy framework, incorporating our Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, and all applicable legal protections by reference.

### 1.2. Purpose and Scope

This Documentation describes technical procedures for managing local music libraries. This information is provided for informational purposes and personal use only.

**IMPORTANT: Users are solely responsible for ensuring that all music acquisition, storage, and management activities comply with applicable copyright laws, licensing agreements, and legal requirements. Our organisation does not condone or support any illegal activities, including copyright infringement or piracy.**

### 1.3. Legal Compliance Disclaimer

All users must ensure that their music acquisition and management activities comply with:

- Applicable copyright laws and regulations
- Terms of service of music platforms and services
- Licensing agreements for music content
- All relevant intellectual property laws

Our organisation assumes no responsibility for any illegal activities conducted using information from this Documentation.

## 2. ACQUIRING MUSIC

You are welcome to use any method you wish to *LEGALLY* acquire music. We would never encourage the criminal act of piracy. But maybe you're an artist and you want to archive or back up your own music - in that case, here you go:

```bash
yt-dlp -x --audio-format mp3 <url> --cookies-from-browser firefox
```

Omit the `--cookies-from-browser firefox` if you do not need authentication (auth is required for age-restricted content, for example).

## 3. EDITING METADATA

The specific meta tags you may need to set will vary depending on the music software you use. We have confirmed that `TIT2` is read as the title and `TPE1` is read as the artist when using Amberol on Linux and Musicolet on Android. Using `-t` and `-a` might work.

```bash
id3v2 "/path/to/song" --TIT2 "Song Title" --TPE1 "Song Artist" 
```

## 4. ADDING COVER IMAGES

Download the image (we have confirmed JPEGs work) that you want to apply to the song, then run:

```bash
eyeD3 --add-image="/path/to/img":FRONT_COVER "/path/to/mp3"
```

## 5. COPYING TO ANDROID DEVICES

You'll need to replace your paths and your device ID to match your local setup, but:

```bash
adb -s 192.168.12.105:5555 push music/* /storage/self/primary/Music
```

## 6. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND DISCLAIMERS

### 6.1. Reference to Comprehensive Liability Framework

**IMPORTANT: Comprehensive liability limitations, damage exclusions, and maximum liability caps are set forth in our Limitation of Liability and Indemnification Policy, which is incorporated herein by reference.**

### 6.2. Legal Compliance Disclaimer

This Documentation provides technical procedures only. Our organisation:

- Does not provide legal advice regarding music acquisition or copyright compliance
- Does not endorse or support any illegal activities, including copyright infringement
- Assumes no responsibility for users' compliance with copyright laws or licensing agreements
- Recommends that users consult qualified legal counsel for questions about copyright compliance

### 6.3. Technical Accuracy Disclaimer

While we strive to maintain accurate and current information in this Documentation, software tools, commands, and procedures may change over time. Users are responsible for:

- Verifying current software versions and compatibility
- Adapting procedures to their specific system configurations
- Ensuring their technical setup meets the requirements for these procedures
- Consulting additional resources for the most current technical information

## 7. CONCLUSION
