積んでおく ("tsundeoku"), "to pile up for later"
Tsundeoku is a CLI tool that helps you take audio files from a shared folder and "pile them up for later" by importing them to a beets library. When importing, albums in the folder that have already been imported will be skipped (not possible with beets alone), and newly added albums will only be imported automatically if all tracks have finished syncing. This way, the import command can safely be run repeatedly to catch all new additions to the shared folder without creating any problems in the beets library.
Metadata can also be changed to suit the user's preferences. For example, there
are rules to alter common metadata formats that may not be to every user's
liking--to strip bracketed years (in the format: "[YYYY]") from album fields, to
expand abbreviations (such as "Rec.s" to "Recordings"), and to strip bracketed
instrument indications (in the format: "[solo <instrument>]") from artist
fields. Run tsundeoku reformat --help to see all reformat rules.
- Install pdm
- Run
just buildto install thetsundeokucommand in your shell.
You will need to configure beets.
A default beets config (using "~/Music" as the "directory") can be generated by
running just beets. To provide a different directory, or to set other options,
follow the instructions in the beets documentation. You will also need to
import your library
in order to get started and generate the pickle file.
If your local library is on an external drive, you will need to give "Full Disk
Access" to /bin/zsh in System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy >
Full Disk Access.
