RRECORDS!

R2 - records for your records?

Installation

1. Clone the repository.
2. Create a new Python 3 (>3.9?) virtual environment.
3. Install the dependendices: pip3 install ./requirements.txt

Other requirements

1. Redis server for running background tasks.
2. SQLite (will probably switch to MySQL, later).

Running the application

1. Start a redis server. In a separate terminal window: `redis-server.
2. Start the celery worker. In another terminal (in repository root folder): celery -A celery_worker.celery worker --pool=solo --loglevel=info
3. Start the flask app in another terminal window: flask --app rrecords run --host=0.0.0.0 --port=4999
4. In your browser, go to http://127.0.0.1:4999

Notes

1. To do anything, you need a Discogs account, and at least one collection containing at least one album. Note, your primary Discogs collection (containing all releases) is number 0.
2. After linking your discogs account, manually hit to collections/<number>/update route to sync your collection data. E.g. http://127.0.0.1:4999/collections/0/update

Things it will do, eventually, or are currently in development.

• ✅ Update collections between RRECORDS and Discogs.
• Find best matches in the Musicbrainz database for best track metadata (Discogs track metadata is usally incomplete) (WIP)
• Scrobble disc plays to Last.fm (TBD)
• Track other things:
  • play time on your stylus (WIP)
  • cleanings (TBD)
  • individual disc plays (instead of whole releases - useful if you have boxsets) (WIP)
  • generate stats and figures / data dives (TBD).
• ✅ Generate URLs that can be embedded in NFC chips so you can track these things by waving your phone over an LP cover (if you have the NFC chip there.)
