Beets plugin to fetch and store popularity values as flexible item attributes

beets-popularity

Beets plugin to store the popularity values from Deezer as flexible item attributes in the database

Installation

Using pip:

$ pip install beets-popularity

Manually:

$ git clone https://github.com/abba23/beets-popularity.git
$ cd beets-popularity
$ python setup.py install

You can then enable the plugin by adding it to your config.yaml:

plugins: popularity

Usage

$ beet popularity happy
popularity: Bon Jovi - The Circle - Happy Now: 20
popularity: The Doors - Strange Days - Unhappy Girl: 40
popularity: Kygo - Cloud Nine - Happy Birthday: 59

Options

Option		Description
-a	--album	match albums instead of tracks
-n	--nowrite	print the popularity values without storing them

Import

All imported songs will automatically have a popularity attribute and value assigned to them if the plugin is enabled.

Query

As the popularity of a song is a value between 0 and 100, you could filter your library like this in order to list all tracks that have a popularity of at least 20:

$ beet list -f '$artist - $title ($popularity)' popularity:20..
Bon Jovi - Happy Now (20)
The Doors - Unhappy Girl (40)
Kygo - Happy Birthday (59)

This is especially useful in combination with the Smart Playlist Plugin. Adding this to your configuration would allow you to have continuously updated playlists of the most popular songs in your library:

smartplaylist:
    playlist_dir: ~/Music/Playlists
    playlists:
        - name: popular.m3u
          query: 'popularity:70..'

        - name: popular_rock.m3u
          query: 'popularity:60.. genre:Rock'

beets-popularity's Issues

Spotify now requires an access token for the search endpoint

Until an authorization procedure is added, all API requests will fail and print "popularity: Bad status code in response from Spotify API".

unable to execute "beet popularity"

I recently tried to install beets-popularity with the command:
pip3 install beets-popularity
which gave me some "bdist_wheel" errrors, but ran through and and at the end it said:

Successfully installed beets-popularity [...]

I then uninstalled the package and some dependencies with pip-autoremoveautoremove beets-popularity which uninstalled the following:

munkres 1.0.12
jellyfish 0.5.6
PyYAML 3.12
musicbrainzngs 0.6

I then uninstalled all the other dependencies except beets itself

Then I installed the python wheel package with pip3 install wheel which was obviously missing (see bdist_wheel error above)
After that the installation of beets-popularity went through well but I could not execute
beet popularity because it says

error: unknown command 'popularity'

Installing it via the python3 setup.py install command goes through without error too...

What am I doing wrong?

Note: I am a noob about python and pip...

can't find popularity when item is a singleton

When an item is imported as a singleton beets-popularity won't be able to retrieve the popularity because it searches the api also with the album tag. And since the album tag of singletons is null or takes the value from what was it before (for me it's the value "Singles") it won't find anything on Deezer.

Could you please remove the album variable when searching for popularity for a singleton?

Or even better:
you could add a switch (maybe configurable in the beets config.yaml) that decides whether to

1. always use albums in the request
2. generally don't use the album tag in the request
3. only use the album tag in request for non-singletons (tracks with albums)
