A modular music management application for the high seas. Shanty aims to be a better all-in-one solution for managing, tagging, organizing, and downloading music — built as a collection of standalone tools that work together seamlessly.

Architecture

Shanty is organized as a Cargo workspace. Each component is its own crate, usable both as a library and (where applicable) a standalone CLI binary.
