There’s a cool little app that goes through your locally hosted music, grabs the artists and then watches MusicBrainz for releases for them artists. Upon seeing a new release, it will send a notification announcing it.
Sadly the app hasn’t had an update in a while and so I wondered if anyone knew of any alternatives or how to replicate it?
Not an app but you could use muspy.com, works the same way (watches MusicBrainz for releases). Can either use their RSS feed or receive emails. I have my beet library setup to to add artists to my muspy account during import.
What’s a Beet library? Do I need it?
If you like the command line, it can help you a lot in organising your library. You can pass it queries to list songs, or bulk edit attributes such as title, artist, language, genre etc; you can tell it to automatically put your files in folders named after some of those attributes…
I’m not familiar with what @florge@feddit.uk says, I gess it’s probably something you can do with beet plugins.
