Beets on vortexbox?

[mcdougc]

I have licensed version of Bliss, tag editing is currently quite limited.

Installed Beets very impressed, I like the control the command line interface gives me.

Bliss is still excellent for managing cover art though, and I'm sure it will catch up with Beets.

Slight typo in the wiki, one command line says pip-python, and another says python-pip.

pip-python appears to be the correct command.

My bad. Fixed. The yum install is opposite to the command which is weird.

On another note, did acoustic fingerprinting work for you? I just added that and doesn't seem to give any errors. However, I have a Mock Orange track beets can't identify with that plugin enabled. I wonder if there's something I missed.

[mcdougc]

I think so, I installed and configured the plugin.

I've only tested a couple of albums, no problems so far.

I can see Beets being added to the official build at some point, I hope so.

This I can agree with, although there seems to be an agreement between the admins and the developer of bliss. It looks like Adrian, the developer of beets, dropped by to edit the wiki in a minor way to be more correct. I hope Adrian swings by so we can ask for additional features. Also, programming plugins for beets is insanely easy since it's all written in python. I'm working (in spare time) on merging, for fun, fappy with beets to generate m3u playlists on downloaded albums. It's actually a lot of fun!

I'm not knocking Bliss it's good, Beets has taken a different approach that may suit some people.

Hi,

I vote for Beets (and Bliss) to be added to the official Vortexbox build as optional installs.

Beets and Bliss both have strengths and weaknesses. I have found that one may find song info where the other doesn't.
Bliss is good for image display. Beets allows real command line management of the music file tags.

Again I vote for Beets to be added (in addition to Bliss) to the Vortexbox build.

I installed it, but I just want to have it tag what I already have, without copying or moving of files. Any help on that?

[divreg]

macross: use the "-C" option. It will retag, but to rename and restructure you have to let beets place the renamed stuff in a new directory, from my experience with it.

Just installed using the wiki. the pip install failed but source worked fine.
