A bridge between beets and mpd. Lets you add songs to mpd using the advanced query syntax system of beets.

# add music from year 2000-2004 that's NOT pop, rock, rap or hip-hop:
beet2mpd year:2000..2004 \^genre:pop,rock,rap,hip-hop

# add music from 1999 where album name contains love, but track
# titles does not:
beet2mpd  year:1999 album:love \^title:love

# add new music imported in the past hour
beet2mpd --hour 1 -v

# make a query but don't add results to mpd; simply print the results
# for possible piping to other applications.
beet2mpd artist:lindfors --no-add --nocolor --hour 4 genre:pop

OPTIONS

All boolean options are enabled with --option and yet again
disabled with --no-option. That is, you use the same option name but prefix
it with 'no-'.

        --color  Enable or disable colorized output.
        --add,   Add or print results from a query.
        --hour   Add tracks added to beets n hour(s) ago.

  -v,   --verbose   Increase the verbosity. Can be specified multiple times.
  -h,   --help      Display this help and exit.

ENVIRONMENT

${XDG_MUSIC_DIR} should be set to the same directory as your library in beets/config.yaml

Keep in mind that beets and mpd should be in sync, or else:

{add} No such directory at Audio/MPD.pm line 156

Though accounted for in the error handling, this will mean that some results from a given query won't be added to the playlist.
