1.2.0 (in development)
----------------------
Two new plugins that add new **data sources** to beets that augment
MusicBrainz in the importer:
There's a *lot* of new stuff in this release: new data sources for the
autotagger, new plugins to look for problems in your library, tracking the
date that you acquired new music, an awesome new syntax for doing queries over
numeric fields, support for ALAC files, and major enhancements to the
importer's UI and distance calculations. A special thanks goes out to all the
contributors who helped make this release awesome.
* New :doc:`/plugins/discogs`: Extends the autotagger to include matches from
the `Discogs`_ database. Thanks to Artem Ponomarenko and Tai Lee.
For the first time, beets can now tag your music using additional **data
sources** to augment the matches from MusicBrainz. When you enable either of
these plugins, the importer will start showing you new kinds of matches:
* New :doc:`/plugins/discogs`: Get matches from the `Discogs`_ database.
Thanks to Artem Ponomarenko and Tai Lee.
* New :doc:`/plugins/beatport`: Get matches from the `Beatport`_ database.
Thanks to Johannes Baiter.
Two new plugins that can check your library for common problems, both by Pedro
Silva:
We also have two other new plugins that can scan your library to check for
common problems, both by Pedro Silva:
* New :doc:`/plugins/duplicates`: Find tracks or albums in your
library that are **duplicated**.
* New :doc:`/plugins/missing`: Find albums in your library that are **missing
tracks**.
A few more big features:
There are also three more big features added to beets core:
* Your library now keeps track of **when music was added** to it. The new
``added`` field is a timestamp reflecting when each item and album was

* **ALAC files** are now marked as ALAC instead of being conflated with AAC
audio. Thanks to Simon Luijk.
Various UI enhancements to the importer due to Tai Lee:
In addition, the importer saw various UI enhancements, thanks to Tai Lee:
* More consistent format and colorization of album and track metadata.
* Display data source URL for :doc:`/plugins/discogs` matches. This should
make it easier for people who would rather import and correct data from
Discogs into MusicBrainz.
* Display data source URL for matches from the new data source plugins. This
should make it easier to migrate data from Discogs or Beatport into
MusicBrainz.
* Display album disambiguation and disc titles in the track listing, when
available.
* Track changes highlighted in yellow indicate a change in format to or from
:ref:`per_disc_numbering`. No penalty is applied because the track number
is still "correct", just in a different format.
* Track changes are highlighted in yellow when they indicate a change in
format to or from the style of :ref:`per_disc_numbering`. (As before, no
penalty is applied because the track number is still "correct", just in a
different format.)
* Sort missing and unmatched tracks by index and title and group them
together for better readability.
* Indicate MusicBrainz ID mismatches.
Improve calculation of similarity score, also thanks to Tai Lee:
The calculation of the similarity score for autotagger matches was also
approved, again thanks to Tai Lee. These changes, in general, help deal with
the new metadata sources and help disambiguate between similar releases in the
same MusicBrainz release group:
* Strongly prefer releases with a matching MusicBrainz album ID. This helps
beets re-identify the same release when re-importing existing files.

nearly identical releases: ``disctotal``, ``label``, ``catalognum``,
``country`` and ``albumdisambig``.
Lots of little enhancements:
As usual, there were also lots of other great littler enhancements:
* :doc:`/plugins/random`: A new ``-e`` option gives an equal chance to each
artist in your collection to avoid biasing random samples to prolific
