i modified an mp3-file (by altering artist and album_artist) and tried to "solve" that by issuing
idntag 02\ Into\ the\ Void.mp3
/tmp/c/work/02 Into the Void.mp3 : Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/idntag", line 94, in
main()
File "/usr/bin/idntag", line 90, in main
identify_and_update_file(path, args.keepname)
File "/usr/bin/idntag", line 53, in identify_and_update_file
song.save()
File "src/taglib.pyx", line 140, in taglib.File.save
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'encode'

some other files worked great so far, but some files bail out with the given error.
if needed i can provide you with the mp3-file, but would prefer not to do this in publicity.

Hello. Some dependencies are missing in installation instructions.

I had to install python3-taglib python3-acoustid and libtag1-dev to succeed.

So I guess the line
sudo apt install python3-pip
should be
sudo apt install python3-pip python3-taglib python3-acoustid libtag1-dev

Also I had to sudo the pip3 install commands

It would be very useful to output the renamed file path.
I need to manipulate the new file after it has been rename and as it is I have no way to know its new name.

After installing dependencies ( including the missing mp3info tool, as I've mentioned here #1 (comment) ) and successfully building idntag, it fails to fingerprint any file, including the 'tests/song.mp3' file included in the repo.

./idntag -k ../tests/song.mp3
idntag/build/../tests/song.mp3 : FAIL : fingerprint generation error

I'm testing this from Ubuntu 16.04.6

Reporting an issue to track the merge / integration of PR #7.

would be great
musicbrainz has cover art archive for some releases
https://picard-docs.musicbrainz.org/en/config/options_cover_art_archive.html

i packaged idntag for fedora and plan to keep up with new versions as they get published

they can be downloaded at
https://www.nosuchhost.net/~cheese/fedora/packages/36/x86_64/idntag.html
this is for fedora 36 on x86_64

packages for aarch64 and other/older versions can be found from that page, too.

The pre-reqs for Debian should probably be:
apt install git cmake mp3info python3-pip libtag1-dev libchromaprint-dev ffmpeg

idntag without path scans working directory which i suggest is not wanted.
