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 your 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
-------------
To configure the plugin, make a ``keyfinder:`` section in your
configuration file. The available options are:
- **auto**: Analyze every file on
import. Otherwise, you need to use the ``beet keyfinder`` command
explicitly.
Default: ``yes``
- **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`` (i.e., search for the program in your ``$PATH``)..
- **overwrite**: Calculate a key even for files that already have an
`initial_key` value.
Default: ``no``.
