+# strip-beats
+
+Imagine you have a folder full of music videos. You want to go through those videos, turn it into an audio file, tag them, and add it to your music collection.
+
+This app aims to streamline that.
+
+## Pre-requisites
+
+- ffmpeg
+- fpcalc (for fingerprinting audio so that we can identify it and automatically pull tags)
+- mpv (for watching the video to ensure you're stipping out non-music elements, like an intro or outro)
+- An account on acousticid.org (for querying the fingerprint to get data)
+
+## Install
+
+- Pull the repo
+- `go install .`
+
+Hopefully, I'll have binaries downloadable soon.
+
+## Disclaimer
+
+This does not work yet! Some features are implemented, but most are not yet. Have a look around at the code, but don't actually use this at all.
