Music Tag Desktop: reconstructing an Android music tagger for Windows

Music Tag Desktop reconstructs the behavior of Android Music Tag 1.2.5.2 as a Windows music-tag editor. Its investigation traces Java code, the native libmain.so library, resources, and music-service request logic; the Python and PySide6 app handles local tags, lyrics, artwork, and metadata matching.
