AcousticBrainz Submit Plugin
============================
The ``absubmit`` plugin lets you submit acoustic analysis results to the
`AcousticBrainz`_ server.
Installation
------------
The ``absubmit`` plugin requires the `streaming_extractor_music`_ program
to run. Its source can be found on `GitHub`_, and while it is possible to
compile the extractor from source, AcousticBrainz would prefer if you used
their binary (see the AcousticBrainz `FAQ`_).
The ``absubmit`` plugin also requires `requests`_, which you can install
using `pip`_ by typing::
pip install requests
After installing both the extractor binary and requests you can enable
the plugin ``absubmit`` in your configuration (see :ref:`using-plugins`).
Submitting Data
---------------
Type::
beet absubmit [-f] [-d] [QUERY]
To run the analysis program and upload its results. By default, the
command will only look for AcousticBrainz data when the tracks
doesn't already have it; the ``-f`` or ``--force`` switch makes it refetch
data even when it already exists. You can use the ``-d`` or ``--dry`` swtich
to check which files will be analyzed, before you start a longer period
of processing.
The plugin works on music with a MusicBrainz track ID attached. The plugin
will also skip music that the analysis tool doesn't support.
`streaming_extractor_music`_ currently supports files with the extensions
``mp3``, ``ogg``, ``oga``, ``flac``, ``mp4``, ``m4a``, ``m4r``, ``m4b``,
``m4p``, ``aac``, ``wma``, ``asf``, ``mpc``, ``wv``, ``spx``, ``tta``,
``3g2``, ``aif``, ``aiff`` and ``ape``.
Configuration
-------------
To configure the plugin, make a ``absubmit:`` section in your configuration
file. The available options are:
- **auto**: Analyze every file on import. Otherwise, you need to use the
``beet absubmit`` command explicitly.
Default: ``no``
- **extractor**: The absolute path to the `streaming_extractor_music`_ binary.
Default: search for the program in your ``$PATH``
- **force**: Analyze items and submit of AcousticBrainz data even for tracks
that already have it.
Default: ``no``.
- **pretend**: Do not analyze and submit of AcousticBrainz data but print out
the items which would be processed.
Default: ``no``.
