- Bandcamp, Spotify, Deezer and Beatport ID's are saved in the library as
flexible attributes.
- On _reimports_ the method importer.ImportTask.reimport_metadata() takes care
of preserving existing values for flexible attributes instead of applying new
(and potentially empty) values.
- In this case we don't want this behaviour and need to make sure that new
values are applied. Therefore we check whether such ID's of metadata services
are present in the reimported items and exclude them in reimport_metadata().
- By default no external URLs will be looked for in the 'url-relation-list' of
the releae dictionary.
- Enabling is possible per each external service.
- Enable fetching 'url-rels' from the MusicBrainz release endpoint.
- A MusicBrainz release might contain a link to a Discogs release
which we save to the discogs_albumid attribute of the info object.
- For extraction of the release ID from the Discogs URL, we use the method
provided in the id_extractors util module.
- Often discogs release links used to be written as discogs.com/release/<id>
- Extend one of the existing regex patterns to support that by making the
trailing dash (-) optional.
- Save a new test regex on regex101.com and update the link to it.
from MetadataSourcePlugin and save beatport_id_regex in id_extractors module.
This streamlines the Beatport release ID extraction magic with plugins Deezer
and Spotify.
and put to use in Spotify plugin.
- Make _get_id() a staticmethod usable from outside a metadata source plugin.
- id_regex now has to be passed as an argument instead of assuming it is
accessible via an instance variable (self.id_regex).
- In the Spotify plugin, import spotify_id_regex from util.id_extractors
- We introduce a new submodule of beets.util named id_extractors.
- Parts of the ID extraction utilites required by metadata source plugins
should live there.
- Also this enables future usage of those utilities from the "outside" of
metadata source plugins.
- Move Discogs ID extractor to the new module and change test_discogs to use
the new location.
- Add spotify_id_regex variable to the new module.
@mkhl was kind enough to do a drive-by review of my proposed changes,
which I'll include here as the GitHub URI may bit-rot over time (it's
technically
[here](bc21caa0d5),
but that commit isn't part of the `beets` repo, so may get GC'd).
I've encorporated all their proposed changes, as their code is being run
against an existing Beets library, whereas my changes were made as I
tried to set up Beets for the first time - thus I'm inclined to trust
their known-working code more than my own!
This is a review starting at
bc21caa0d5 (diff-d53f73df7f26990645e7bdac865ef86a52b67bafc6fe6ad69890b510a57e2955R210)

> `parse` shouldn't be able to fail because at that point, we've ensured that its argument is actually a string. i also added a `if not string` condition because otherwise the empty list of album types would turn into the list containing the empty string (because that's what split returns)

All these changes have been made, including the switch from `;` to
`;<space>` as the in-DB separator.
Fixes#4627.
AcousticBrainz is shutting down as of early 2023. Deprecate the absubmit
plugin and update the acousticbrainz plugin to require configuration of
an AcousticBrainz server instance.
