Replace Plugin
|
|
==============
|
|
|
|
The ``replace`` plugin provides a command that replaces the audio file of a
|
|
track, while keeping the name and tags intact. It should save some time when you
|
|
get the wrong version of a song.
|
|
|
|
Enable the ``replace`` plugin in your configuration (see :ref:`using-plugins`)
|
|
and then type:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
$ beet replace <query> <path>
|
|
|
|
The plugin will show you a list of files for you to pick from, and then ask for
|
|
confirmation.
|
|
|
|
The file you pick will be replaced with the file at ``path``. Then, the new
|
|
file's metadata will be synced with the database. This means that the tags in
|
|
the database for that track (``title``, ``artist``, etc.) will be written to the
|
|
new file, and the ``path`` and ``mtime`` fields in the database will be updated
|
|
to match the new file's path and the current modification time.
|
|
|
|
Consider using the ``replaygain`` command from the :doc:`/plugins/replaygain`
|
|
plugin, if you usually use it during imports.
