mpcf is unmaintained software
If you use mpd/mpc to listen to your music, mpcf will let you add facets — cross-cutting classifications — to your music collection. For instance, I have facets for locations (Atlanta bands), for music origin (things I ripped from vinyl), and so on (bands I've seen live).
Tracks can, of course, be tagged with arbitrary numbers of facets.
It is assumed that your music is organized by directory in some useful
manner (e.g. musicdir/artist/album) as tagging of tracks
operates on directory subtrees.
# first run; set music directory and initialize db $ mpcf -musicdir=/path/to/mpd/musicdir # tag all files in subtree DIRECTORY with FACET $ mpcf -tag [DIRECTORY] [FACET] # add all files with FACET to playlist $ mpcf -get [FACET] | mpc add # update and sweep mcpf db $ mpcf -scan
See 'mcpf -h' for (slightly) more capabilities.
Applying tags is idempotent, so don't worry about whether something has or has not already been tagged.
If a file's location changes or if the file itself changes but is in
the same location, then tags will stick with the file when
'mcpf -scan' is run. However, if a file moves and changes,
it will be seen as new and no longer have tags associated with it.
mpcf's database is stored at MUSICDIR/.mpcf.db, so if you
backup your music directory, the db should be backed up as well.
There are plans to add (slightly) richer functionality and more polish, but the db format is likely stable.
