Beatport Plugin¶
Warning
As of October 2013, Beatport has closed their API. We’ve contacted them to attempt to gain access as a “partner.” Until this happens, though, this plugin won’t work.
The beatport
plugin adds support for querying the Beatport catalogue
during the autotagging process. This can potentially be helpful for users
whose collection includes a lot of diverse electronic music releases, for which
both MusicBrainz and (to a lesser degree) Discogs show no matches.
Installation¶
To see matches from the beatport
plugin, you first have to enable it in
your configuration (see Plugins). Then, install the requests
library (which we need for querying the Beatport API) by typing:
pip install requests
And you’re done. Matches from Beatport should now show up alongside matches from MusicBrainz and other sources.
If you have a Beatport ID or a URL for a release or track you want to tag, you can just enter one of the two at the “enter Id” prompt in the importer.
