# beets config

|

> The purpose of beets is to get your music collection right once and for all. It catalogs your collection, automatically improving its metadata as it goes using the [MusicBrainz](http://musicbrainz.org/) database. Then it provides a bouquet of tools for manipulating and accessing your music.

## Beets Notes
|
||||
|
||||
**2017-01-03** - I got sidetracked and started re-tagging all my music in Plex using beets after reading glowing reviews in a couple posts on reddit.
|
||||
|
||||
Its pretty nice. I decided to move everything that was beets imported to a new directory and point Plex at that directory as my new library.
|
||||
|
||||
I guess beets does A LOT of stuff, most of which I haven't even begun to understand. Accordingly I've had 3 beets tabs open in Chrome for the last few days. I thought this might be a good place to collect what I know so far so I can close those tabs.
|
||||
|
||||
This way I can come back to this if I want to pursue it further.

|
||||
|
||||
**2017-05-25** - Beets has served me well. So well, that I am taking the tagged music repository out of Plex and moving it to shawshank and will use Cherry Music as a front-end.
|
||||
|
||||
* Beets config is located at `$HOME/.config/beets/config.yaml`
|
||||
* Import directory of music with: `beet import <directory-name>`
|
||||
* Delete album with: `beet rm -a "Jon Oliva" -d` (`-a` for album and `-d` to delete the files and not just the database entry)
