UI improvements and consistency. Colorisation, indentation, position by importance, and highlight benign changes. 1. Consistently colorise parenthesis surrounding colorised text that is conditional (doesn't always appear) so that it stand out more. This includes the album info data source (when it's not MusicBrainz), the album disambiguation (sometimes there is none), and the partial match message. 2. Indent the album title when there isn't a change. Makes it stand out more from the file path(s) above and info line below, and is consistent with the indentation when there is an album or artist change. 3. When listing releases, colorise album disambiguation in light gray to distinguish it more clearly from the album title. Light gray seems like a good colour because it is subtle, and disambiguation is supplementary information (not green/success, red/error or yellow/warning). 4. Also when listing releases, display similarity before partial message and disambiguation last. This is in order of importance, and also similarity is always present while the others are conditional, and finally it is often the case where the album title is the same and only the disambiguation is different. Using this order keeps things lined up in this case and easier to visually compare similarity and disambiguation text. 5. Colorise benign track index changes (to/from per disc numbering) in yellow, without applying a match penalty. We should still display these because even though the track number is still correct/equivalent, beets will apply a change if the new tags are applied. 6. Don't display source unless it's not MusicBrainz. By default beets will only find matches in the MusicBrainz database. Only if a plugin is enabled can a different source be used, so not everybody needs to see this all the time. |

Beets is the media library management system for obsessive-compulsive music
geeks.
The purpose of beets is to get your music collection right once and for all.
It catalogs your collection, automatically improving its metadata as it goes.
It then provides a bouquet of tools for manipulating and accessing your music.
Here's an example of beets' brainy tag corrector doing its thing::
$ beet import ~/music/ladytron
Tagging: Ladytron - Witching Hour
(Similarity: 98.4%)
* Last One Standing -> The Last One Standing
* Beauty -> Beauty*2
* White Light Generation -> Whitelightgenerator
* All the Way -> All the Way...
Because beets is designed as a library, it can do almost anything you can
imagine for your music collection. Via `plugins`_, beets becomes a panacea:
- Embed and extract album art from files' metadata.
- Listen to your library with a music player that speaks the `MPD`_ protocol
and works with a staggering variety of interfaces.
- Fetch lyrics for all your songs from databases on the Web.
- Manage your `MusicBrainz music collection`_.
- Analyze music files' metadata from the command line.
- Clean up crufty tags left behind by other, less-awesome tools.
- Browse your music library graphically through a Web browser and play it in any
browser that supports `HTML5 Audio`_.
If beets doesn't do what you want yet, `writing your own plugin`_ is
shockingly simple if you know a little Python.
