It searches and downloads music-player-oriented metadata such as cover art, lyrics, artist photos, biographies, reviews, tags, relations, similar artists, and track lists. ### Projektgeschichte The public GitHub repository was created in 2011. The README says Glyr began as an internal library for a music player and then expanded into a standalone program and library for retrieving music metadata from multiple providers. Early development focused on provider plugins, download speed, API cleanup, cache support, Levenshtein-based fuzzy matching, Unicode handling, and a command-line interface. The hand-written changelog records a concentrated burst of work in 2011 and a 2016 license change from GPLv3 to LGPLv3. ### Adoptionsgeschichte Glyr's README lists GMPC, Pragha, Freya, and lyvi as users or related consumers, showing adoption inside Linux music-player and desktop-metadata tooling. Its package entries in Homebrew, Debian, Ubuntu, Arch, Nix, and openSUSE-derived packaging reflect a Unix desktop niche: scripts and players needed metadata without each project writing provider scrapers. Because many providers and web pages change over time, Glyr's ecosystem significance is tied to the era when local music players needed album art, lyrics, biographies, and similar metadata from client-side search tools. ### Wie es verwendet wird Practitioners use `glyrc` for batch metadata retrieval, for example downloading covers for an artist and album to a formatted path, or use `libglyr` from C programs that need metadata lookup. The README distinguishes getters, such as `cover` or `lyrics`, from providers, meaning the source sites queried for those getters. Developers can embed the C library, write provider plugins, use SQLite caching, control result counts and query strategy, and build wrappers; the README also points to Python and Ruby bindings. ### Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren Glyr is package-nerd significant because it captures a classic Linux-desktop utility pattern: one C library and CLI centralize fragile metadata scraping so music players and shell scripts do not each reinvent it. Its value is partly historical, documenting a pre-streaming-service approach to enriching local music collections. ### Zeitleiste - 2011: Public GitHub repository created. - 2011: Changelog records provider, parser, performance, API, and getter work. - 2011: Changelog was discontinued in favor of Git history. - 2016: License changed from GPLv3 to LGPLv3. ### Related projects - GMPC, Pragha, Freya, and lyvi are listed by the README as users or related software. - libcurl, GLib, and SQLite are documented dependencies for download, utility, and cache functionality. - Python and Ruby bindings extended Glyr beyond its C API. ### Quellen - - - - ## Sicherheitshinweise narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger-Risiko:** grün / niedrig - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Andere Paketmanager-Einträge - Debian apt - glyrc - 1.0.10-2.1: normalized package name match | Debian stable package indexes: glyrc from https://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/binary-amd64/Packages.xz | command-line interface to libglyr | https://github.com/sahib/glyr - Debian apt - libglyr-dev - 1.0.10-2.1: normalized package name match | Debian stable package indexes: libglyr-dev from https://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/binary-amd64/Packages.xz | search engine for music-related metadata - development files | https://github.com/sahib/glyr - Debian apt - libglyr-doc - 1.0.10-2.1: normalized package name match | Debian stable package indexes: libglyr-doc from https://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/binary-amd64/Packages.xz | search engine for music-related metadata - documentation | https://github.com/sahib/glyr - Debian apt - libglyr1 - 1.0.10-2.1: normalized package name match | Debian stable package indexes: libglyr1 from https://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/binary-amd64/Packages.xz | search engine for music-related metadata | https://github.com/sahib/glyr - Nix - glyr: normalized package name match | nixpkgs package indexes: pkgs/by-name/gl/glyr/package.nix from https://api.github.com/repos/NixOS/nixpkgs/git/trees/master?recursive=1 - Ubuntu apt - glyrc - 1.0.10-2ubuntu2: normalized package name match | Ubuntu 24.04 LTS package indexes: glyrc from https://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/noble/universe/binary-amd64/Packages.gz | command-line interface to libglyr | https://github.com/sahib/glyr - Ubuntu apt - libglyr-dev - 1.0.10-2ubuntu2: normalized package name match | Ubuntu 24.04 LTS package indexes: libglyr-dev from https://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/noble/universe/binary-amd64/Packages.gz | search engine for music-related metadata - development files | https://github.com/sahib/glyr - Ubuntu apt - libglyr-doc - 1.0.10-2ubuntu2: normalized package name match | Ubuntu 24.04 LTS package indexes: libglyr-doc from https://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/noble/universe/binary-amd64/Packages.gz | search engine for music-related metadata - documentation | https://github.com/sahib/glyr - Ubuntu apt - libglyr1 - 1.0.10-2ubuntu2: normalized package name match | Ubuntu 24.04 LTS package indexes: libglyr1 from https://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/noble/universe/binary-amd64/Packages.gz | search engine for music-related metadata | https://github.com/sahib/glyr - pacman - glyr - 1.0.10-6: normalized package name match | Arch Linux sync databases: glyr from https://geo.mirror.pkgbuild.com/extra/os/x86_64/extra.db.tar.gz | Music metadata searchengine utility and library written in C | https://github.com/sahib/glyr - zypper - glyr-devel - 1.0.10-5.4: normalized package name match | openSUSE Tumbleweed package metadata: glyr-devel from https://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/repo/oss/repodata/50b07339cb64c8ed4091bdbabddadc1ff5737b090e478818a195b40d8a3292861a879139b4a3987c31109699fde9fbf4a716367ddf4eef77da75f96e3193d6ed-primary.xml.zst | Development files for glyr, a music metadata search engine | https://github.com/sahib/glyr - zypper - glyrc - 1.0.10-5.4: normalized package name match | openSUSE Tumbleweed package metadata: glyrc from https://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/repo/oss/repodata/50b07339cb64c8ed4091bdbabddadc1ff5737b090e478818a195b40d8a3292861a879139b4a3987c31109699fde9fbf4a716367ddf4eef77da75f96e3193d6ed-primary.xml.zst | Search engine for music related metadata | https://github.com/sahib/glyr - zypper - libglyr1 - 1.0.10-5.4: normalized package name match | openSUSE Tumbleweed package metadata: libglyr1 from https://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/repo/oss/repodata/50b07339cb64c8ed4091bdbabddadc1ff5737b090e478818a195b40d8a3292861a879139b4a3987c31109699fde9fbf4a716367ddf4eef77da75f96e3193d6ed-primary.xml.zst | Search engine for music related metadata | https://github.com/sahib/glyr ## Combined YAML source View the package source record on GitHub.
