MusicBrainz Picard tagger scripts, config and beets config

Music Organisation Config

This holds MusicBrainz Picard config file, file renaming script, other taggerscripts and my beets config.

Workflow

I currently have a workflow like:

1. Add tags, move and rename files using MusicBrainz Picard.
2. Run beets on the files with the writing, tagging and renaming options disabled.
3. The keys which are left empty in the yaml need to be provided by a local config file like beets -c secrets.yaml. A sample secret file can be seen here.

This means that I can still use beets to do things like fetching lyrics (but not writing to ID3 tags), creating smart-playlists, updating my MusicBrainz collections etc.

Due to this workflow you might find that the beets config is lacking a lot of plugins and configuration that would allow it to replace MusicBrainz Picard like the chroma plugin, fetchart etc.
