Recently, the music organizer Beets was added to DietPi. Using plugins or just the generic music folder, Beets works great with many other optimized software titles.
Usage
Beets is very simple to use, just run beet import /path/to/music to import music into your library. It will probably ask you some questions about the metadata of the music to make sure it tags it correctly.
Adding Plugins
Adding plugins to Beets is very simple, all you need to do is add a plugins line to your config file at /etc/beets/config.yaml:
plugins: ipfs embyupdate fetchart embedart
See the full list of plugins at: https://beets.readthedocs.io/en/stable/plugins/index.html
Generic
Beets works out of the box with many of DietPi’s music streaming software titles, just by importing by default into the generic music folder: /mnt/dietpi_userdata/Music.
Updating Libraries
Some of DietPi’s music streamers, namely Emby, Kodi, MPD, and Plex, require a library update whenever new music is added. Beets can do this automatically when adding new music by using the respective update plugins for those streamers (embyupdate, kodiupdate, etc.).
IPFS
With the ipfs plugin, Beets lets you download music from and publish music to IPFS, by running beet ipfs -a to individually add songs, beet ipfs -p to publish your whole library, and beet ipfs -g <QMHash> to get a song from IPFS. Learn more about IPFS in my previous blog post: https://dietpi.com/blog/?p=684
youtube-dl
Beets can also download music from YouTube and other popular video streaming sites, with the beets-ydl plugin. Since it is a community-made plugin, you need to install it: pip3 install beets-ydl. Note that this does require Python 3 installed through DietPi-Software. After it’s installed, run beet ydl 'https://youtube.com/video/here' to download and add music.
