Key Finder Plugin
=================
The `keyfinder` plugin uses the `KeyFinder`_ program to detect the
musical key of track from its audio data and store it in the
'initial_key' field of you database. It does so
automatically when importing music or through the ``beet keyfinder
[QUERY]`` command.
To use the ``keyfinder`` plugin, enable it in your configuration (see
:ref:`using-plugins`).
Configuration
-------------
Available options:
- ``bin``: the name of the `KeyFinder` program on your system or
a path to the binary. If you installed the `KeyFinder`_ GUI on a Mac, for
example, you want something like
``/Applications/KeyFinder.app/Contents/MacOS/KeyFinder``.
Default: ``KeyFinder``.
- ``auto``: if set to `yes`, the plugin will analyze every file on
import. Otherwise, you need to use the ``beet keyfinder`` command
explicitly. Default: ``yes``.
- ``overwrite``: if set to ``no``, the import hook and the command will skip
any file that already has an 'initial_key' in the database.
Default: ``no``.
