I’m pretty happy with new management system for my audio file. Thanks to Beets I now have access to the whole power of command line utilities. Here’s a brief overview of the top genres in my library:
» beet summarize | head -n 12
genre | count
---------------------- | -----
Rock | 3045
Post-Punk | 2754
Jazz | 2509
Alternative | 1212
Electronic | 948
Indie Rock | 838
Pop | 817
Classic Rock | 679
Alternative Rock | 497
Indie Pop | 424
How many total tracks having a genre tag, excluding tracks from playlists which contain, following poor design choice, duplicate records?
» beet summarize ^context:playlist | head -n 12 | cut -f2 -d\| | tail -n +3 | paste -sd+ | bc
10603
And so on… Wanna looks at the tlistening stats for the current song?
» beet ls -f '$artist ($album): $title ($length) [$genre, $play_count, $last_played]' $(mpc current | sed s/-//)
