[![PyPI](https://img.shields.io/pypi/v/bum.svg)](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/bum/) [![MIT licensed](https://img.shields.io/badge/license-MIT-blue.svg)](./LICENSE.md) [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/dylanaraps/bum.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/dylanaraps/bum)
`bum` is a daemon that downloads album art for songs playing in `mpd`/`mopidy` and displays them in a little window. `bum` doesn't loop on a timer, instead it waits for `mpd`/`mopidy` to send a `player` event. When it receives a `player` event it wakes up and downloads album art for the current playing track. This makes `bum` lightweight and makes it idle at `~0%` CPU usage.
`bum` uses [musicbrainz](https://musicbrainz.org/) to source and download cover art, if an album is missing it's cover art you can easily create an account and fill in the data yourself. `bum` outputs a `release-id` which you can use to find the exact entry on musicbrainz.
Note: `bum` is meant to be used with files that don't have embedded album art (`mopidy-spotify`).
