MBSync Plugin
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
The ``mbsync`` lets you fetch metadata from MusicBrainz for albums that already
|
|
have MusicBrainz IDs. This is useful for updating tags as they are fixed in the
|
|
MusicBrainz database, or when you change your mind about some config options
|
|
that change how tags are written to files. If you have a music library that is
|
|
already nicely tagged by a program that also uses MusicBrainz like Picard, this
|
|
can speed up the initial import if you just import “as-is” and then use
|
|
``mbsync`` to get up-to-date tags that are written to the files according to
|
|
your beets configuration.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Usage
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
Enable the plugin and then run ``beet mbsync QUERY`` to fetch updated metadata
|
|
for a part of your collection. This only work for album queries at the moment.
|
|
To only preview the changes that would be made, use the ``-p`` (``--pretend``)
|
|
flag. By default all the new metadata will be written to the files and the files
|
|
will be moved according to their new metadata. This behaviour can be changed
|
|
with the ``-W`` (``--nowrite``) and ``-M`` (``--nomove``) command line options.
