beets - anyone using it?

Do you have any experiences with beets? Just found it and couldn't find a thread about it on HA...

Yes, happy user of beets - and it seems to be in active development, with improvements and new plugins showing up regularly.

A great front-end that I use that uses beets to tag and sort/rename your libraries is headphones https://github.com/rembo10/headphones (also python)


Headphones seems to have the purpose of downloading music torrents. Isn't this a violation of TOS #9 or am i misunderstanding the program (nowhere does it represent itself as a front-end tag editor).

I love beets. It's not too hard to set up, and it's great for those of us who are OCD about our audio files. I love the fact that you can make the subdescription of an album part of the directory and tag structure. This means that singles with the same name of an album from a given artis get sorted and identified correctly, as well as different versions of the same disc

It also has BPD which is a dropin replacement for mpd so  you can play your tracks while filtering all these awesome tags.

He said that he uses beets to do tagging for headphone, not the other way around.

I guess then Internet Explorer, Chrome or any other browser is a violator of TOS #9.
It not what an application can do , but HOW you use it.

The screenshots on the project website don't make me think that the application is actually intended for being used with CC music.

I realize that i misunderstood how the OP was using the app. A simple "no, linking to apps that directly facilitate downloading copyrighted music isn't a violation of #9, because.." would have sufficed. I was only asking for my own reference.

No zeremy, a browser can be used to download things, but this is specifically designed to query musicbrainz for new releases and grab them.

How i feel about that personally is not driving my query.

Exactly what I was thinking. Especially since the logo kinda looks like a beet, too...

However, if Dr. Dre was growing beats, they would be of crappy quality, deliver sub-par flavor, but every single buffoon would wear those on their heads and prance around like they own the friggin' world.
