How to use with beets? #369

Open SuperFola opened 2 years ago

SuperFola commented 2 years ago

I'm currently in the process of deploying mStream to use with the database beets created for me, but after searching on both repositories and documentation, I can not find where and how to specify to mStream that it should use a pre-generated database.

I have node 18 and npm 8.8.0, have run npm run-script wizard, but it didn't add the mstream command.

Any help would be appreciated.

I don't think you can use the beets database directly. At one point in time, it looks like that was the case, however, I came across this as the latest mention of "beet" in the repository's history and it looks like support was removed due to mstream requiring a more sophisticated data model.

From what I could find, there is just a link in the beets documentation referencing this project, as they happen to work nicely together, each fulfilling different roles with no overlap. At least that's what's inferred from this conversation: https://github.com/beetbox/beets/issues/2700

TLDR, there is no formal integration but they operate side by side nicely. I do wish mStream would also link to the beets project however.
