Spotify Plugin
|
|
==============
|
|
|
|
The ``spotify`` plugin generates `Spotify`_ playlists from tracks in your library. Using the `Spotify Web API`_, any tracks that can be matched with a Spotify ID are returned, and the results can be either pasted in to a playlist or opened directly in the Spotify app.

|
|
.. _Spotify Web API: https://developer.spotify.com/web-api/search-item/

|
Why Use This Plugin?
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
* You're a Beets user and Spotify user already.
|
|
* You have playlists or albums you'd like to make available in Spotify from Beets without having to search for each artist/album/track.
|
|
* You want to check which tracks in your library are available on Spotify.
|
|
|
|
Basic Usage
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
First, enable the ``spotify`` plugin (see :ref:`using-plugins`).
|
|
Then, use the ``spotify`` command with a beets query::
|
|
|
|
beet spotify [OPTIONS...] QUERY
|
|
|
|
Here's an example::
|
|
|
|
$ beet spotify "In The Lonely Hour"
|
|
Processing 14 tracks...

|
|
http://open.spotify.com/track/3PRLM4FzhplXfySa4B7bxS
|
|
[...]
|
|
|
|
Command-line options include:
|
|
|
|
* ``-m MODE`` or ``--mode=MODE`` where ``MODE`` is either "list" or "open"
|
|
controls whether to print out the playlist (for copying and pasting) or
|
|
open it in the Spotify app. (See below.)
|
|
* ``--show-failures`` or ``-f``: List the tracks that did not match a Spotify
|
|
ID.
|
|
|
|
Configuration
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
The default options should work as-is, but there are some options you can put
|
|
in config.yaml under the ``spotify:`` section:
|
|
|
|
- **mode**: One of the following:
|
|
|
|
- ``list``: Print out the playlist as a list of links. This list can then
|
|
be pasted in to a new or existing Spotify playlist.
|
|
- ``open``: This mode actually sends a link to your default browser with
|
|
instructions to open Spotify with the playlist you created. Until this
|
|
has been tested on all platforms, it will remain optional.
|
|
|
|
Default: ``list``.
|
|
- **region_filter**: A two-character country abbreviation, to limit results
|
|
to that market.
|
|
Default: None.
|
|
- **show_failures**: List each lookup that does not return a Spotify ID (and
|
|
therefore cannot be added to a playlist).
|
|
Default: ``no``.
|
|
- **tiebreak**: How to choose the track if there is more than one identical
|
|
result. For example, there might be multiple releases of the same album.
|
|
The options are ``popularity`` and ``first`` (to just choose the first match
|
|
returned).
|
|
Default: ``popularity``.
|
|
- **regex**: An array of regex transformations to perform on the
|
|
track/album/artist fields before sending them to Spotify. Can be useful for
|
|
changing certain abbreviations, like ft. -> feat. See the examples below.
|
|
Default: None.
|
|
|
|
Here's an example::
|
|
|
|
spotify:
|
|
mode: open
|
|
region_filter: US
|
|
show_faiulres: on
|
|
tiebreak: first
|
|
|
|
regex: [
|
|
{
|
|
field: "albumartist", # Field in the item object to regex.
|
|
search: "Something", # String to look for.
|
|
replace: "Replaced" # Replacement value.
|
|
},
|
|
{
|
|
field: "title",
|
|
search: "Something Else",
|
|
replace: "AlsoReplaced"
|
|
}
|
|
]
