Update a lot of URLs to use HTTPS
*All* URLs were checked manually, but only once per domain!

I mostly concerned myself with URLs in documentation rather than source
code because the latter may or may not have impactful changes, while the
former should be straight forward.

Changes in addition to simply adding an s:

- changed pip and pypi references as their location has changed
- MPoD (iOS app) url redirects to Regelian, so I replaced those
- updated homebrew references

Notable observations:

- beets.io does have HTTPS set up properly (via gh-pages)
- beatport.py uses the old HTTP url for beatport
- as does lyrics.py for lyrics.wikia.com
- https://tomahawk-player.org/ expired long ago, but the http page
  redirects to https regardless
- none of the sourceforge subdomains have https (in 2019!)

Spotify Plugin
==============
The ``spotify`` plugin generates `Spotify`_ playlists from tracks in your
library with the ``beet spotify`` command using the `Spotify Search API`_.
Also, the plugin can use the Spotify `Album`_ and `Track`_ APIs to provide
metadata matches for the importer.
.. _Spotify: https://www.spotify.com/
.. _Spotify Search API: https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/web-api/reference/search/search/
.. _Album: https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/web-api/reference/albums/get-album/
.. _Track: https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/web-api/reference/tracks/get-track/
Why Use This Plugin?
--------------------
* You're a Beets user and Spotify user already.
* You have playlists or albums you'd like to make available in Spotify from Beets without having to search for each artist/album/track.
* You want to check which tracks in your library are available on Spotify.
* You want to autotag music with metadata from the Spotify API.
Basic Usage
-----------
First, enable the ``spotify`` plugin (see :ref:`using-plugins`).
Then, use the ``spotify`` command with a beets query::
beet spotify [OPTIONS...] QUERY
Here's an example::
$ beet spotify "In The Lonely Hour"
Processing 14 tracks...
https://open.spotify.com/track/19w0OHr8SiZzRhjpnjctJ4
https://open.spotify.com/track/3PRLM4FzhplXfySa4B7bxS
[...]
Command-line options include:
* ``-m MODE`` or ``--mode=MODE`` where ``MODE`` is either "list" or "open"
controls whether to print out the playlist (for copying and pasting) or
open it in the Spotify app. (See below.)
* ``--show-failures`` or ``-f``: List the tracks that did not match a Spotify
ID.
You can enter the URL for an album or song on Spotify at the ``enter Id``
prompt during import::
Enter search, enter Id, aBort, eDit, edit Candidates, plaY? i
Enter release ID: https://open.spotify.com/album/2rFYTHFBLQN3AYlrymBPPA
Configuration
-------------
The default options should work as-is, but there are some options you can put
in config.yaml under the ``spotify:`` section:
- **mode**: One of the following:
- ``list``: Print out the playlist as a list of links. This list can then
be pasted in to a new or existing Spotify playlist.
- ``open``: This mode actually sends a link to your default browser with
instructions to open Spotify with the playlist you created. Until this
has been tested on all platforms, it will remain optional.
Default: ``list``.
- **region_filter**: A two-character country abbreviation, to limit results
to that market.
Default: None.
- **show_failures**: List each lookup that does not return a Spotify ID (and
therefore cannot be added to a playlist).
Default: ``no``.
- **tiebreak**: How to choose the track if there is more than one identical
result. For example, there might be multiple releases of the same album.
The options are ``popularity`` and ``first`` (to just choose the first match
returned).
Default: ``popularity``.
- **regex**: An array of regex transformations to perform on the
track/album/artist fields before sending them to Spotify. Can be useful for
changing certain abbreviations, like ft. -> feat. See the examples below.
Default: None.
- **source_weight**: Penalty applied to Spotify matches during import. Set to
0.0 to disable.
Default: ``0.5``.
Here's an example::
spotify:
source_weight: 0.7
mode: open
region_filter: US
show_failures: on
tiebreak: first
regex: [
{
field: "albumartist", # Field in the item object to regex.
search: "Something", # String to look for.
replace: "Replaced" # Replacement value.
},
{
field: "title",
search: "Something Else",
replace: "AlsoReplaced"
}
]
