A plugin that moves non-music files during the import process.
This is a plugin for beets: a music library manager and much more.
The stable version of the plugin is available from PyPI. Installation can be done using pip:
pip install beets-copyartifacts
If you get permission errors try running it with sudo
The development version can be installed from GitHub by using these commands:
git clone https://github.com/sbarakat/beets-copyartifacts.git
cd beets-copyartifacts
python setup.py install
If you get permission errors try running it with sudo
You will need to enable the plugin in beets' config.yaml
plugins: copyartifacts
It can copy files by file extenstion:
copyartifacts:
extensions: .cue .log
Or copy all non-music files (it does this by default):
copyartifacts:
extensions: .*
It can also print what got left:
copyartifacts:
print_ignored: yes
Renaming works in much the same way as beets Path Formats with the following limitations: - The fields available are $artist
, $albumartist
, $album
and $albumpath
. - The full set of built in functions are also supported, with the exception of %aunique
- which will return an empty string.
Each template string uses a query syntax for each of the file extensions. For example the following template string will be applied to .log
files:
paths:
ext:log: $albumpath/$artist - $album
This will rename a log file to: ~/Music/Artist/2014 - Album/Artist - Album.log
plugins: copyartifacts
paths:
default: $albumartist/$year - $album/$track - $title
singleton: Singletons/$artist - $title
ext:log: $albumpath/$artist - $album
ext:cue: $albumpath/$artist - $album
ext:jpg: $albumpath/cover
copyartifacts:
extensions: .cue .log .jpg
print_ignored: yes
copyartifacts was built on top of the hard work already done by Adrian Sampson and the larger community on beets. We have also benefited from the work of our contributors.
This plugin was built out of necessity and to scratch an itch. It has gained a bit of attention, so I intend to maintain it where I can, however I doubt I will be able to spend large amount of time on it. Please report any issues you may have and feel free to contribute.
