# Rdin

Import music into Rdio from a plain text file. We don't all use iTunes.

## Installation

~~~

$ git clone https://github.com/pbrisbin/rdin

$ cd rdin && cabal install

~~~

## Usage

Generate a text file containing one line per item you wish to import. 

That line should be of the form `artist album`.

Then:

~~~

$ rdin that-file.txt

~~~

`rdin` will execute an Album search via the Rdio API for each 

artist-album string and add the first result to your collection.

To add to your collection, you must grant `rdin` access. Upon running 

the tool, a url will be printed. Visit that link, grant access, and 

enter the provided PIN back into `rdin`.

## Options

*TODO*

| Option         | Description                                         | Default

| ---            | ---                                                 | ---

| `--exact-only` | Only add exact matches to your collection           | Add everything

| `--dry-run`    | Print matches but don't add them to your collection | Actually add

## Importing from MPD

To create a collection file from [MPD][], we'll put all or our music in 

one playlist then print and format that playlist:

[mpd]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_Player_Daemon

~~~

$ mpc clear

$ mpc listall | mpc add

$ mpc --format '%artist% %album%' lsplaylist | uniq > collection.txt

~~~

If you don't want to edit the collection file before passing to `rdin` 

you can also pass it directly via process substitution:

~~~

$ rdin <(mpc --format '%artist% %album%' lsplaylist | uniq)

~~~
