# Beets
## Setup configuration file:
``` yaml
# ~/.config/beets/config.yaml
directory: ~/music
library: ~/music/library.db
import:
copy: no # Do not copy files into directory
move: no # Do not delete original files
write: yes # Write tags to file
plugins: duplicates fetchart embedart
```
## Import music
Using `--incremental` to avoid scanning the already imported albums.
```
beet import ~/music --incremental
```
To re-scan the music library:
```
beet update
```
## Download art files into a `cover.jpg` file
Requires plugin: `fetchart`.
```
beet fetchart
```
## Embed art into files
Requires plugin: `embedart` & `fetchart`.
```
beet embedart
```
## Scan for duplicates
Requires plugin `duplicates`.
Use `-p` to show the path to the duplicates instead of the name.
```
beet duplicates -p
```
