beets-yearfixer 0.0.4

('A beets plugin for fixing `original_year` and `year` tags on audio items.',)

YearFixer (Beets Plugin)

The beets-yearfixer plugin finds the original_year for each of your songs by querying the MusicBrainz database and finding the first release date that is associated with it. If the MB database query is unsuccessful, it will then use the other songs in the same album as reference and calculate the mean original_year between them. If this does not yield any results then the same will be done for all songs of the artist. For the year attribute the same procedure will be used except that the MB database is not queried.

Installation

The plugin can be installed via:

$pip install beets-yearfixer

Activate the plugin in your configuration file by adding yearfixer to the plugins section:

plugins:
    - yearfixer

The following command line options are available:
