Beetscasts - managing podcasts for Tangara - kitinct - 2025-10-30 Beetscasts is a beets plugin for managing podcasts, it reads an opml file and downloads podcasts to a directory you specify. Additionally, it cleans up the audio tags on the podcasts by  adding the name of the podcast in the Album tag if it isn't populated adding the title if it isn't populated writing "Podcast" to the MEDIATYPE tag which makes them play nicely with Tangara's UI. Once downloaded, your podcasts can be managed with beets by adding the query `mediaodcast` to any beets transaction you want to apply it to (and conversely, adding `^mediaodcast` to any transactions you do not want applied to podcasts)  The way I use it is each morning I have my computer fetch any new podcasts, convert them, and then plug my SD card in. My computer then runs rsync -aPh <src> <dest> and sends everything to the SD card You can find it here, please open any issues you have or send pull requests! Or just comment here I'll reply
