Beets is the best command-line tool for viewing, querying, renaming,
|
||
|
|
and updating your music collection.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
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 using the MusicBrainz database. (It also
|
||
|
|
downloads cover art for albums it imports.) Then it provides a
|
||
|
|
bouquet of tools for manipulating and accessing your music.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
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' tags.
|
||
|
|
* 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.
