Missing Plugin
==============
This plugin adds a new command, ``missing`` or ``miss``, which finds
and lists, for every album in your collection, which tracks are
missing. Listing missing files requires one network call to
MusicBrainz.
Installation
------------
Enable the plugin by putting ``missing`` on your ``plugins`` line in
:doc:`config file </reference/config>`::
plugins:
missing
...
Configuration
-------------
By default, the ``beet missing`` command lists the names of tracks that your
library is missing from each album. You can customize the output format, count
the number of missing tracks per album, or total up the number of missing
tracks over your whole library. These options can either be specified in the
config file::
missing:
format: $albumartist - $album - $title
count: no
total: no
or on the command-line::
-f FORMAT, --format=FORMAT
print with custom FORMAT
-c, --count count missing tracks per album
-t, --total count total of missing tracks
format
~~~~~~
The ``format`` option (default: :ref:`list_format_item`) lets you specify a
specific format with which to print every track. This uses the same template
syntax as beets :doc:`path formats </reference/pathformat>`. The usage is
inspired by, and therefore similar to, the :ref:`list <list-cmd>` command.
count
~~~~~
The ``count`` option (default: false) prints a count of missing
tracks per album, with ``format`` hard-coded to ``'$album: $count'``.
total
~~~~~
The ``total`` option (default: false) prints a single
count of missing tracks in all albums
Examples
--------
List all missing tracks in your collection::
beet missing
List all missing tracks from 2008::
beet missing year:2008
Print out a unicode histogram of the missing track years using `spark`_::
beet missing -f '$year' | spark
