The delete() method on Mutagen objects writes the file directly. Calling
save() was unnecessary and, in at least one case we found, could inadvertently
preserve non-standard tags that Mutagen did not understand.
These config options make it easier to customize the command (no need to make
a single-element formats dict). And the opt config option provides backwards
compatibility with the previous style.
The format key is now the (lower-cased) format name string used by beets,
which means we can precisely detect which transcodes would be unnecessary. To
facilitate this, I added an ALIASES dict which allows more convenient names to
work for this (e.g., "wma" is easier to remember than "windows media").
This allows you to use a socket in your home directory (e.g.
`~/.mpd/socket`) without having to specify the full path including the
username (which can change from machine to machine).
By moving the duplicate file removal to the manipulate_files coroutine, we
ensure that all previous albums are fully moved/copied before trying to delete
their duplicate files.
In preparation for enabling queries over flexattrs, this is a new path that
lets queries avoid generating SQLite expressions altogether. Any query that
can be completely evaluated in SQLite will be, but when it can't, we now fall
back to running the entire query in Python by selecting everything from the
database and running the `match` predicate.
To begin with, this mechanism replaces RegisteredFieldQueries, which
previously used Python callbacks for evaluation. Now they just indicate that
they're slow queries and the query system falls back automatically.
This has the great upside that it lets use implement arbitrarily complex
queries without shoehorning everything into SQLite when that (a) is way too
complicated and (b) doesn't buy us much performance anyway. The obvious
drawback is that any code dealing with queries now has to handle two cases
(slow and fast).
In the future, we could optimize this further by combing fast and slow query
styles. For example, if you want to match with a substring *and* a regular
expression, we can do a first pass in SQLite and apply the regex predicate on
the results. Avoided for now because premature optimization, etc., etc.
Next step: implement flexattr matches as slow queries.
