MusicBrainz Collection Plugin
=============================
The ``mbcollection`` plugin lets you submit your catalog to MusicBrainz to
maintain your `music collection`_ list there.
.. _music collection: http://musicbrainz.org/doc/Collections
To begin, just enable the ``mbcollection`` plugin in your
configuration (see :ref:`using-plugins`).
Then, add your MusicBrainz username and password to your
:doc:`configuration file </reference/config>` under a ``musicbrainz`` section::
musicbrainz:
user: you
pass: seekrit
Then, use the ``beet mbupdate`` command to send your albums to MusicBrainz. The
command automatically adds all of your albums to the first collection it finds.
If you don't have a MusicBrainz collection yet, you may need to add one to your
profile first.
Configuration
-------------
Available option:
- ``auto``: if set to ``yes``, the plugin will automatically amend your
MusicBrainz collection whenever you import a new album.
Default: ``false``
