Duplicates Plugin
|
||
=================
|
||
|
||
This plugin adds a new command, ``duplicates`` or ``dup``, which finds
|
||
and lists duplicate tracks or albums in your collection.
|
||
|
||
Installation
|
||
------------
|
||
|
||
Enable the plugin by putting ``duplicates`` on your ``plugins`` line in
|
||
your :doc:`config file </reference/config>`::
|
||
|
||
plugins: duplicates
|
||
|
||
Configuration
|
||
-------------
|
||
|
||
By default, the ``beet duplicates`` command lists the names of tracks
|
||
in your library that are duplicates. It assumes that Musicbrainz track
|
||
and album ids are unique to each track or album. That is, it lists
|
||
every track or album with an ID that has been seen before in the
|
||
library.
|
||
|
||
You can customize the output format, count the number of duplicate
|
||
tracks or albums, and list all tracks that have duplicates or just the
|
||
duplicates themselves. These options can either be specified in the
|
||
config file::
|
||
|
||
duplicates:
|
||
format: $albumartist - $album - $title
|
||
count: no
|
||
album: no
|
||
full: no
|
||
|
||
or on the command-line::
|
||
|
||
-f FORMAT, --format=FORMAT
|
||
print with custom FORMAT
|
||
-c, --count count duplicate tracks or
|
||
albums
|
||
-a, --album show duplicate albums instead
|
||
of tracks
|
||
-F, --full show all versions of duplicate
|
||
tracks or albums
|
||
|
||
format
|
||
~~~~~~
|
||
|
||
The ``format`` option (default: :ref:`list_format_item`) lets you
|
||
specify a specific format with which to print every track or
|
||
album. This uses the same template syntax as beets’ :doc:`path formats
|
||
</reference/pathformat>`. The usage is inspired by, and therefore
|
||
similar to, the :ref:`list <list-cmd>` command.
|
||
|
||
count
|
||
~~~~~
|
||
|
||
The ``count`` option (default: false) prints a count of duplicate
|
||
tracks or albums, with ``format`` hard-coded to ``$albumartist -
|
||
$album - $title: $count`` or ``$albumartist - $album: $count`` (for
|
||
the ``-a`` option).
|
||
|
||
album
|
||
~~~~~
|
||
|
||
The ``album`` option (default: false) lists duplicate albums instead
|
||
of tracks.
|
||
|
||
full
|
||
~~~~
|
||
|
||
The ``full`` option (default: false) lists every track or album that
|
||
has duplicates, not just the duplicates themselves.
|
||
|
||
Examples
|
||
--------
|
||
|
||
List all duplicate tracks in your collection::
|
||
|
||
beet duplicates
|
||
|
||
List all duplicate tracks from 2008::
|
||
|
||
beet duplicates year:2008
|
||
|
||
Print out a unicode histogram of duplicate track years using `spark`_::
|
||
|
||
beet duplicates -f '$year' | spark
|
||
▆▁▆█▄▇▇▄▇▇▁█▇▆▇▂▄█▁██▂█▁▁██▁█▂▇▆▂▇█▇▇█▆▆▇█▇█▇▆██▂▇
|
||
|
||
Print out a listing of all albums with duplicate tracks, and respective counts::
|
||
|
||
beet duplicates -ac
|
||
|
||
The same as the above but include the original album, and show the path::
|
||
|
||
beet duplicates -acf '$path'
|
||
|
||
|
||
TODO
|
||
----
|
||
|
||
- Allow deleting duplicates.
