This is a refactor of the plugin developed by `imenem`. - Pass `artist`, `album` and `va_likely` to `candidates()` so that plugins don't have to work this out from `items` all over again. - Pass `artist` and `title` to `item_candidates()`. - Silence spurious `urllib3` info log lines. - Use a proper "beets" user agent with `discogs_client`. - Remove `abstract_search` plugin. It seems unnecessary. How many music databases are there? How many will beets support? How much common code might there be between them? We can add some abstraction if or when more databases are supported. - Derive more AlbumInfo and TrackInfo properties from discogs Release objects, especially album ID so that beets doesn't just use the first release and think all subsequent releases are duplicates. - Add basic documentation, doc strings and code comments. - Sanitise search query. Remove non-word characters and medium info that might filter out good search results. - Use artist `join` strings from discogs Release object when an album or track has multiple artists. - Don't rely on discogs track position, which is unreliable. But tracks are in order, so we can recalculate medium and medium_index as long as we can extract a consistent medium across tracks from the position. - Add "various" as a known signal to indicate various artists. - Prevent `chroma` plugin from returning a a huge track distance for any track that is missing an ID (e.g. all discog tracks). - `TrackInfo.index` should be the release index (calculated by beets), not the medium index (derived from discogs track position). - Add `AlbumInfo.data_source`. It's "Unknown" by default which is shown in red when displaying a suggested or selected match. The built in auto tagger sets it to "MusicBrainz" which is shown in green. Anything else (e.g. "Discogs") is shown in yellow. - Remove double spaces from album titles (bad data from Discogs). |

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

* 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.
