Beets is the media library management system for obsessive-compulsive music
|
|
geeks.
|
|
|
|
The purpose of beets is to get your music collection right once and for all.
|
|
It catalogs your collection, automatically improving its metadata as it goes.
|
|
It then provides a bouquet of tools for manipulating and accessing your music.
|
|
|
|
Here's an example of beets' brainy tag corrector doing its thing::
|
|
|
|
$ beet import ~/music/ladytron
|
|
Tagging: Ladytron - Witching Hour
|
|
(Similarity: 98.4%)
|
|
* Last One Standing -> The Last One Standing
|
|
* Beauty -> Beauty*2
|
|
* White Light Generation -> Whitelightgenerator
|
|
* All the Way -> All the Way...
|
|
|
|
Because beets is designed as a library, it can do almost anything you can
|
|
imagine for your music collection. Via `plugins`_, beets becomes a panacea:
|
|
|
|
- Embed and extract album art from files' metadata.
|
|
- Listen to your library with a music player that speaks the `MPD`_ protocol
|
|
and works with a staggering variety of interfaces.
|
|
- Fetch lyrics for all your songs from databases on the Web.
|
|
- Manage your `MusicBrainz music collection`_.
|
|
- Analyze music files' metadata from the command line.
|
|
|
|
If beets doesn't do what you want yet, `writing your own plugin`_ is
|
|
shockingly simple if you know a little Python.
