The new fields are:
ALBUM: mb_releasegroupid asin catalognum script language country albumstatus
media albumdisambig
TRACK: disctitle encoder
These are not yet parsed from MusicBrainz responses (just added to MediaFile
and the database).
There's no longer a distinction between Unix and Windows substitutions. Enough
users reported problems with Windows-forbidden characters on Samba shares that
it seems appropriate to make all filenames Windows-safe, even on Unix. Users who
really want those additional characters (<>:"?*|\) can re-enable them via the
"replace" option. Nobody has complained about beets being *too* conservative.
This also adds sanitization of control characters, which is an all-around good
idea, and the substitution now runs in the Unicode (rather than byte) domain.
Previously, there was just an "artist sort name" field -- now there's a
corresponding sort name for both track artists and album artists. I also made
the names shorter (artist_sort and albumartist_sort).
As part of this, the BaseLibrary class was also adapted to include a notion of
albums. This is reflected by the new BaseAlbum class, which the Album class
(formerly _AlbumInfo) completely replaces in the concrete Library. The BaseAlbum
class just fetches metadata from the underlying items.
This entailed:
- changing the "flac" storage style option to "etc" to encompass both
flac and vorbis as the tags are very similar
- permitting multiple StorageStyles per field/format, to allow a
read-any/store-all approach to multiple field options
Also, new organization for tests and automatic loader. Fixed bugs uncovered by new tests.
