Automatically find album artwork, organize your files and folders and keep track of genres in your music collection via a web-based interface

What's new in bliss 20211012:

First, we’ve removed some legacy code which attempted to match tracks based on their name. When there were duplicate track names this sometimes led to false positive attributions, which meant the incorrect track number, for example, could be applied. Over time, we’ve shifted responsibility for attributions (linking your local tracks with tracks in our database) to our metadata server. We now trust this fully; it has more sophisticated matching code.

Read the full changelog

bliss is a music organizer able to process a large collection of songs. It is specialized in adding and changing cover art albums, renaming music files, and editing tags based on user-defined rules.

The application runs in the background, automatically monitors your music library for new files, and applies your album artwork rules. It can be installed on home severs and accessed from anywhere via a web browser.

Web-based GUI

You can access the program via your preferred web browser, be it Firefox, Chrome, Opera, or Internet Explorer. The user interface looks clean and well organized, keeping track of albums, artists, untagged files, and logs.

You can set up the audio files that you want to process by specifying the preferred folders. The tool works with MP3, FLAC, OGG, and other file formats.

Cover art adjustments and renaming options

bliss helps you save the artwork filename, embed cover art in audio files, download cover art images based on a minimum and maximum size, and store backups of cover art items.

When it comes to renaming files, you are allowed to choose between several preset renaming patters or manually build your own one, and move files and folders manually or automatically.

Edit tags

bliss offers you the option to fill in missing information using different criteria, such as case rules, artist names, artists within an album, track number length, and genre. In addition, you may add ID3v1 or ID3v2 to MP3 files.

What’s more, you can make the utility show or hide tags, such as album artist, track name, artist, year, genre, and track number.

Bottom line

Although you need to set up custom rules for managing your audio collection, the settings need to be done only once. Based on your rules, the utility is able to automatically find album artwork, organize your files and folders, and keep track of genres.

The learning curve may not be the smoothest one for less experienced users, but the program reveals useful descriptions about its features throughout the GUI with the aid of help icons.
