+
+## Environment Variables
+
+The tool uses the following default configuration:
+
+| Setting | Default | Description |
+|---------|---------|-------------|
+| MusicBrainz URL | `http://localhost:5001` | Local MusicBrainz server URL |
+| API Delay | `0.1` seconds | Delay between API calls |
+
+## Troubleshooting Commands
+
+### Check MusicBrainz Server Status
+
+```bash
+# Test if server is running
+curl -I http://localhost:5001
+
+# Test API endpoint
+curl http://localhost:5001/ws/2/artist/?query=name:AC/DC&fmt=json
+```
+
+### Validate JSON File
+
+```bash
+# Check if JSON is valid
+python -m json.tool songs.json
+
+# Check JSON structure
+python -c "import json; data=json.load(open('songs.json')); print('Valid JSON array with', len(data), 'items')"
+```
+
+### Check Python Dependencies
+
+```bash
+# Check if requests is installed
+python -c "import requests; print('requests version:', requests.__version__)"
+
+# Install if missing
+pip install requests
+```
+
+## Advanced Usage
+
+### Custom MusicBrainz Server
+
+To use a different MusicBrainz server, modify the script:
+
+```python
+# In musicbrainz_cleaner.py, change:
+self.base_url = "http://your-server:5001"
+```
+
+### Verbose Output
+
+For debugging, you can modify the script to add more verbose output by uncommenting debug print statements.
+
+## Command Line Shortcuts
+

+├── api/                 # API-related modules
+│   ├── __init__.py
+│   ├── database.py     # Direct PostgreSQL access with fuzzy search

+├── core/               # Core functionality
+├── utils/              # Utility functions
+```
+
+### Architectural Principles
+- **Separation of Concerns**: Each module has a single, well-defined responsibility
+- **Modular Design**: Clear interfaces between modules for easy extension
+- **Centralized Configuration**: All constants and settings in config module
+- **Type Safety**: Using enums and type hints throughout
+- **Error Handling**: Graceful error handling with meaningful messages
+- **Performance First**: Direct database access for maximum speed
+- **Fallback Strategy**: Automatic fallback to API when database unavailable
+
+### Data Flow
+1. Read JSON input file
+2. For each song:
+   - Clean artist name
+   - **NEW**: Use fuzzy search to find artist in database
+   - Clean song title
+   - **NEW**: Use fuzzy search to find recording by artist and title
+   - Update song object with corrected data and MBIDs
+3. Write cleaned data to output file
+
+### Fuzzy Search Implementation
+- **Algorithm**: Uses fuzzywuzzy library with multiple matching strategies
+- **Similarity Thresholds**: 
+  - Artist matching: 80% similarity
+  - Title matching: 85% similarity
+- **Matching Strategies**: Ratio, Partial Ratio, Token Sort Ratio
+- **Performance**: Optimized for large datasets
+
+### Known Limitations
+- Requires local MusicBrainz server running
+- **NEW**: Requires PostgreSQL database access (host: localhost, port: 5432)
+- **NEW**: Database credentials must be configured
+- Search index must be populated for best results
+- Limited to artists/recordings available in MusicBrainz database
+- Manual configuration needed for custom artist/recording mappings
+
+## Server Setup Requirements
+
+### MusicBrainz Server Configuration
+The tool requires a local MusicBrainz server with the following setup:
+
+#### Database Access
+- **Host**: localhost
+- **Port**: 5432 (PostgreSQL default)
+- **Database**: musicbrainz

+- **Password**: musicbrainz (default, should be changed in production)
+
+#### HTTP API (Fallback)
+- **URL**: http://localhost:5001
+- **Endpoint**: /ws/2/
+- **Format**: JSON
+
+#### Docker Setup (Recommended)
+```bash
+# Clone MusicBrainz Docker repository
+git clone https://github.com/metabrainz/musicbrainz-docker.git
+cd musicbrainz-docker
+
+# Start the server
+docker-compose up -d
+
+# Wait for database to be ready (can take 10-15 minutes)
+docker-compose logs -f musicbrainz
+```
+
+#### Manual Setup
+1. Install PostgreSQL 12+
+2. Create database: `createdb musicbrainz`
+3. Import MusicBrainz data dump
+4. Start MusicBrainz server on port 5001
+
+#### Troubleshooting
+- **Database Connection Failed**: Check PostgreSQL is running and credentials are correct

+- **⚡ No Rate Limiting**: Database queries don't have API rate limits
+- **📊 Similarity Scoring**: See how well matches are scored
+
+## ✨ What It Does
+
+**Before:**
+```json
+{
+  "artist": "ACDC",
+  "title": "Shot In The Dark",
+  "favorite": true
+}
+```
+
+**After:**
+```json
+{
+  "artist": "AC/DC",
+  "title": "Shot in the Dark",
+  "favorite": true,
+  "mbid": "66c662b6-6e2f-4930-8610-912e24c63ed1",
+  "recording_mbid": "cf8b5cd0-d97c-413d-882f-fc422a2e57db"
+}
+```
+
+## 🚀 Quick Start
+
+### 1. Install Dependencies
+```bash
+pip install requests psycopg2-binary fuzzywuzzy python-Levenshtein
+```
+
+### 2. Set Up MusicBrainz Server
+
+#### Option A: Docker (Recommended)
+```bash
+# Clone MusicBrainz Docker repository
+git clone https://github.com/metabrainz/musicbrainz-docker.git
+cd musicbrainz-docker
+
+# Start the server
+docker-compose up -d
+
+# Wait for database to be ready (can take 10-15 minutes)
+docker-compose logs -f musicbrainz
+```
+
+#### Option B: Manual Setup
+1. Install PostgreSQL 12+
+2. Create database: `createdb musicbrainz`
+3. Import MusicBrainz data dump
+4. Start MusicBrainz server on port 5001
+
+### 3. Test Connection
+```bash
+python musicbrainz_cleaner.py --test-connection
+```
+
+### 4. Run the Cleaner
+```bash
+# Use database access (recommended, faster)
+python musicbrainz_cleaner.py your_songs.json
+
+# Force API mode (slower, fallback)
+python musicbrainz_cleaner.py your_songs.json --use-api
+```
+
+That's it! Your cleaned data will be saved to `your_songs_cleaned.json`
+
+## 📋 Requirements
+
+- **Python 3.6+**
+- **MusicBrainz Server** running on localhost:5001
+- **PostgreSQL Database** accessible on localhost:5432
+- **Dependencies**: `requests`, `psycopg2-binary`, `fuzzywuzzy`, `python-Levenshtein`
+
+## 🔧 Server Configuration
+
+### Database Access
+- **Host**: localhost
+- **Port**: 5432 (PostgreSQL default)
+- **Database**: musicbrainz
+- **User**: musicbrainz
+- **Password**: musicbrainz (default, should be changed in production)
+
+### HTTP API (Fallback)
+- **URL**: http://localhost:5001
+- **Endpoint**: /ws/2/
+- **Format**: JSON
+
+### Troubleshooting
+- **Database Connection Failed**: Check PostgreSQL is running and credentials are correct
+- **API Connection Failed**: Check MusicBrainz server is running on port 5001
+- **Slow Performance**: Ensure database indexes are built
+- **No Results**: Verify data has been imported to the database
+
+## 🧪 Testing
+
+Run the test suite to verify everything works correctly:
+
+```bash
+# Run all tests
+python3 src/tests/run_tests.py
+
+# Run specific test module
+python3 src/tests/run_tests.py test_data_loader
+python3 src/tests/run_tests.py test_cli
+```
+
+## 📁 Data Files
+
+The tool uses external JSON files for known artist and recording data:
+
+- **`data/known_artists.json`**: Contains known artist MBIDs for common artists
+- **`data/known_recordings.json`**: Contains known recording MBIDs for common songs
+
+These files can be easily updated without touching the code, making it simple to add new artists and recordings.
+
+## 🎯 Features

+
+## 🔧 Troubleshooting
+
+### "Could not find artist"
+- The artist might not be in the MusicBrainz database
+- Try checking the spelling or using a different variation
+- The search index might still be building (wait a few minutes)
+- **NEW**: Check fuzzy search similarity score - lower threshold if needed
+
+### "Could not find recording"
+- The song might not be in the database
+- The title might not match exactly
+- Try a simpler title (remove extra words)
+- **NEW**: Check fuzzy search similarity score - lower threshold if needed
+
+### Connection errors
+- **Database**: Make sure PostgreSQL is running and accessible
+- **API**: Make sure your MusicBrainz server is running on `http://localhost:5001`
+- Check that Docker containers are up and running
+- Verify the server is accessible in your browser
+
+### JSON errors
+- Make sure your input file is valid JSON
+- Check that it contains an array of objects
+- Verify all required fields are present
+
+### Performance issues
+- **NEW**: Use database mode instead of API mode for better performance
+- **NEW**: Ensure database indexes are built for faster queries
+- **NEW**: Check fuzzy search thresholds - higher thresholds mean fewer but more accurate matches
+
+## 🎯 Use Cases
+
+- **Karaoke Systems**: Clean up song metadata for better search and organization
+- **Music Libraries**: Standardize artist names and add official IDs
+- **Music Apps**: Ensure consistent data across your application
+- **Data Migration**: Clean up legacy music data when moving to new systems
+- **Fuzzy Matching**: Handle typos and variations in artist/song names
+
+## 📚 What are MBIDs?
+
+**MBID** stands for **MusicBrainz Identifier**. These are unique, permanent IDs assigned to artists, recordings, and other music entities in the MusicBrainz database.
+
+**Benefits:**
+- **Permanent**: Never change, even if names change
+- **Universal**: Used across many music applications
+- **Reliable**: Official identifiers from the MusicBrainz database
+- **Linked Data**: Connect to other music databases and services
+
+## 🆕 Performance Comparison

+| Method | Speed | Rate Limiting | Fuzzy Search | Setup Complexity |
+|--------|-------|---------------|--------------|------------------|
+| **Database** | ⚡ 10x faster | ❌ None | ✅ Yes | 🔧 Medium |
+| **API** | 🐌 Slower | ⏱️ Yes (0.1s delay) | ❌ No | ✅ Easy |

+# Tests
+
+This directory contains unit tests for the MusicBrainz Data Cleaner project.
+
+## Test Structure
+
+- `test_data_loader.py` - Tests for the data loader utility
+- `test_cli.py` - Tests for CLI functionality
+- `run_tests.py` - Test runner script
+
+## Running Tests
+
+### Run All Tests
+```bash
+python3 src/tests/run_tests.py
+```
+
+### Run Specific Test Module
+```bash
+python3 src/tests/run_tests.py test_data_loader
+python3 src/tests/run_tests.py test_cli
+```
+
+### Run Individual Test Files
+```bash
+python3 -m unittest src/tests/test_data_loader.py
+python3 -m unittest src/tests/test_cli.py
+```
+
+## Test Guidelines
+
+1. **Use Temporary Files**: All tests should use temporary directories/files that are cleaned up after tests
+2. **Mock External Dependencies**: Mock API calls and external services to avoid network dependencies
+3. **Test Edge Cases**: Include tests for error conditions and edge cases
+4. **Descriptive Names**: Use descriptive test method names that explain what is being tested
+5. **Isolated Tests**: Each test should be independent and not rely on other tests
+
+## Adding New Tests
+
+When adding new functionality, create corresponding test files following the naming convention:
+- `test_<module_name>.py` for module tests
+- Use descriptive test method names: `test_<functionality>_<scenario>`
+
+## Test Data
+
+Test data should be created programmatically in the test setup rather than using static files. This ensures tests are self-contained and don't depend on external files.
