#beets

sometimes

there's a plugin for beets

are you a DJ?

oh, weird, the beets plugin is tap for bpm

echonest supports as well

I use traktor for bpm anyway, heh

derwin, not a dj. just use BPM to generate smart playlists for work outs n stuff.

for that purpose

echo nest

looking at it now

checking to see what is needed to sign up for echo nest

there is a CLI key detector thing

presumably a bpm plugin could work the same way

just not sure if someone has done standalone bpm detector cli tool

or what code is in the wild for the task

derwin, ah. well I am looking at echo nest right now. if may be more than enough

nice

gplv3..

sweet, just got my echo nest api key

oh and there's the xwax guy : http://www.pogo.org.uk/~mark/bpm-tools/

sampsyo: why hasn't someone done this plugin yet?

sampsyo: it seems relatively trivial...

nice one! :D

question about the lyrics plugin

is that installed by default?

the lyrics plugin documentation doesn't cite installation

it's included, yes

it's not enabled by default

cool

looking at some of the other plugins

looks like fetch art, embed art, mpd stats and lyrics are ones I am going to have to enable/configure. regarding the mbsync plugin, I presume this checks all tags against the mb database each time? meaning that if there were a change it would update based on that change

I'm not super clear on that one

and how it differs from import -L and beet update and etc.

gotcha

sudormrf: `mbsync` just gets the latest data from MusicBrainz for albums that have already been matched against it

in case someone improves the metadata for an album you have, for example

sampsyo, thanks. that is kinda what I was thinking

is beets supposed to move files it tags?

after I started tagging I noticed it was copying the files from the directory they were in to a different directory

had to stop because the main drive on that box is very small

I have a NAS mounted to a mount point and was tagging from there

it seems that it was copying the files with new tags

maybe there is an overwrite option?

sudormrf: the default config copies. There's an overview of alternative configs in the Getting Started guide

sampsyo, thanks

:D

:)

yeah got a nagios warning about low drive space and I was like WHOA WHOA WHOA WHOA!

haha
