How To Install beets on Fedora 34
beets is Music library manager and MusicBrainz tagger
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install beets on Fedora 34.
What is beets
The purpose of beets is to get your music collection right once and for all. It catalogs your collection, automatically improving its meta-data as it goes using the MusicBrainz database. Then it provides a bouquet of tools for manipulating and accessing your music. Because beets is designed as a library, it can do almost anything you can imagine for your music collection. Via plugins, beets becomes a panacea - Fetch or calculate all the meta-data you could possibly need lyrics, genres, tempos, ReplayGain levels, or acoustic fingerprints. - Get meta-data from MusicBrainz, Discogs, or Beatport. Or guess meta-data using songs’ file names or their acoustic fingerprints. - Transcode audio to any format you like. - Check your library for duplicate tracks and albums or for albums that are missing tracks. - Browse your music library graphically through a Web browser and play it in any browser that supports HTML5 Audio.
