Fixed a number of issues with the changes to fetchart: - Remove redundant fetches. This was making the Amazon source download every image twice even when art resizing was not enabled! - Restore local_only switch in plugin hook, which got lost in the shuffle at some point. - Don't replace the original image file in-place; use a temporary file instead. This would clobber the original source image on the filesystem with the downscaled version! |

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

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.
- Clean up crufty tags left behind by other, less-awesome tools.
- Browse your music library graphically through a Web browser and play it in any
browser that supports `HTML5 Audio`_.
If beets doesn't do what you want yet, `writing your own plugin`_ is
shockingly simple if you know a little Python.
