I should be able to define logic rules that make tagging easier. (Song 6) mali 1979 blues rock folk tuareg (Song 5) brazil 1973 spanish jazz instrumental (Song 2) japan 2004 instrumental math-rock (Song 1) japan 1971 japanese jazz funk fusion female Even better if I can use a logic programming / query language like Datalog to help simplify tagging! For instance, if I have songs with the following tags: What I've been looking for, but so far haven't been able to find, is a system that creates playlists from queries to my music database, based on tags I assign to individual songs.
QUOD LIBET VS FOOBAR UPDATE
How is the tagging system in DeaDBeef? My music library has grown exponentially in the past year or so, due to boredom during covid, and I've come to the conclusion that playlists (as in, static lists of music files that you need to update manually) are functionally useless for large libraries. There's also really cool feature that you can queue any file you double click in file explorer in its own playlist (I call this playlist Inbox), so that the playlist I'm currently listening is unmodified.Ĭlosest thing I found on Linux is ncmpcpp and it's still a far cry from everything I can do in foobar2000. There's also tag editor and format converter. These are all my custom shortcuts but I love the fact that you can assign shortcut to virtually anything. Quite useful if I want to move it somewhere else or copy it or rename or whatever. I press 'o' on a track and it opens a file explorer in the location where the track is located and it also selects it. I press 'q', type few letters in search bar, press enter and I get new playlist with the results. I press 'A' on a track and I get everything from this album. I press 'a' on a selected track and I see everything from this artist. Sometimes, I listen to a random track and decide I want to hear everything from this artist that I have in library. I'm not sure what kind of magic it uses, but the second I put new files in directories where my music is, foobar2000 sees it and I can access it in foobar. Actually, no other player on the planet can compete with foobar's media library. The greatest thing about foobar2000 is media library which deadbeef doesn't even have. I sigh every time someone says deadbeef is great alternative to foobar2000.
