NAME¶

disco-mix - manage your DiscoDOS mixes

SYNOPSIS¶

DESCRIPTION¶

the mix command is used to manage your DiscoDOS mixes. A mix is basically just a list of tracks in a specific order, a playlist, a track pool, you name it.

ARGUMENTS¶

[mix_name]

mix name or mix ID being displayed, edited, created, copied, deleted, etc. If mix_name is left out, a list of available mixes is shown and all other arguments are ignored.

OPTIONS¶

-h, --help

show this help message and exit

-v, --verbose, --vv

increases mix tracklist view detail. -v adds tracknames, artists, transition rating/notes and general track notes. -vv shows when and how MusicBrainz matching was done and also direct weblinks to Discogs releases, MusicBrainz releases/recordings and AccousticBrainz recordings.

-c, --create-mix

creates new mix (named as given in mix_name argument).

-D, --delete-mix

deletes the mix (given in mix_name) and all its contained tracks!

-e POSITION, --edit POSITION

edits/adds details of a track in a mix (editable fields: key, BPM, track number, position in mix, key notes, transition rating, transition notes, general track notes, custom MusicBrainz recording ID).

-E, --edit-mix

edits/adds general info about a mix (name, played date, venue).

-b FIELDS, --bulk-edit FIELDS

bulk-edits specific fields of each track in mix. Syntax of FIELDS argument: <field1>,<field2>,... available fields: key,bpm,track_no,track_pos,key_notes,trans_rating, trans_notes,notes,m_rec_id_override.

-a SEARCH_TERMS, --add-to-mix SEARCH_TERMS

searches for release/track in collection and adds it to the mix, This option is actually a shortcut to "disco search -m mix_name search_term" and behaves identically. If SEARCH_TERMS is a number, it is assumed being a Discogs release ID. A quick database check is done and if non-existent yet, the release is 1) added to the Discogs collection and 2) imported to DiscoBASE. This is a convenience function eg when trying to quickly add a release to the mix that's not in the DiscoBASE yet (possibly an only recently gained record?).

-r POSITION, --reorder-tracks POSITION

reorders tracks in current mix, starting at POSITION ; Note that this is a troubleshooting function and usually shouldn't be necessary to use.

-d POSITION, --delete-track POSITION

removes the track at the given position from the mix.

--copy

copies the mix given in mix_name argument. Asks for new name!

-u, --discogs-update

updates tracks in current mix with additional info from Discogs. Can be combined with -p when mix ID provided or with --resume when mix ID not provided (all tracks in mixes update).

-z, --brainz-update, --zz

updates tracks in current mix with additional info from MusicBrainz and AcousticBrainz. Leave out mix ID to update every track contained in any mix. -z quick match, -zz detailed match (takes longer, but more results). Can be combined with -p when mix ID provided or with --resume when mix ID not provided (all tracks in mixes *Brainz matching).

-p POSITION, --pos POSITION

in combination with -a this option adds the found release/track at the given position in the mix (rather than at the end). In combination with -u, -z or -zz the update process is started at the given position in the mix.

--resume OFFSET

resumes long-running processes at the given offset position (expects a number). You can combine this option currently with "all tracks in mixes Discogs update" (disco mix -u ) or with "all tracks in mixes *Brainz matching" (disco mix -z, disco mix -zz ).
