Nautilus media metadata columns

This Python script uses the nautilus-python extension and the tinytag audio metadata library to add media metadata columns to the Nautilus file manager.

Added columns

• Artist
• Title
• Album
• Year
• Duration

Usage

Install all requirements.

sudo apt install python3-nautilus
sudo pip install tinytag

Add the media_columns.py script to the $XDG_DATA_HOME/nautilus-python/extensions directory (i.e. ~/.local/share/…) and then restart Nautilus.

If not working, you can check Nautilus' output by opening it inside a terminal session.
