A bridge between beets and mpd. Lets you add songs to mpd using the advanced query syntax system of beets.
beet2mpd # add everything
beet2mpd comp:1 # add compilations
beet2mpd loved:1 # https://github.com/trapd00r/utils/blob/master/love
beet2mpd country:se # add music from sweden only
beet2mpd genre:game # add game music
beet2mpd mbid_trackid::^$ # add everything missing musicbrainz id
beet2mpd label:'Masters of Hardcore' # add everything from a record label
beet2mpd comments:foo # do note the plural form!
beet2mpd ^genre:rap albumtype:single # single releases that's NOT rap
beet2mpd added:-1w.. # add new music imported in the past week
beet2mpd albumdisambig:explicit # no censored lyrics
# add official album releases
beet2mpd albumtype:album albumstatus:official
# add music released the day you were born
beet2mpd original_day:14 original_month:8 original_year:1990
# add music released this day in history
beet2mpd original_day:$(date +%d) original_month:$(date +%m)
# 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
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.
${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.
