Key Finder PluginΒΆ
The keyfinder plugin uses the KeyFinder program to detect the
musical key of track from its audio data and store it in the
initial_key field of you database. If enabled, it does so
automatically when importing music or through the beet keyfinder
[QUERY]
command.
There are a couple of configuration options to customize the behavior of the plugin. By default they are:
keyfinder:
bin: KeyFinder
auto: yes
overwrite: no
bin
: The name of the KeyFinder program on your system or a path to the binary. If you installed the KeyFinder GUI on a Mac, for example, you want something like/Applications/KeyFinder.app/Contents/MacOS/KeyFinder
.auto
: If set to yes, the plugin will analyze every file on import. Otherwise, you need to use thebeet keyfinder
command explicitly.overwrite
: If set to no, the import hook and the command will skip any file that already has an initial_key in the database.
