Why
The beets Spotify plugin no longer works — Spotify has blocked new developer app creation, so API keys can't be obtained. The built-in credentials no longer work. Hopefully temporary until resolved upstream.

Changes
Replaced spotify with deezer as an additional metadata source. Auto-tagging also falls back to MusicBrainz. Expect slightly lower match quality in some cases, but most imports should be fine.
On upgrade
Your beets config is automatically replaced and will work out of the box. Previous config backed up as config_legacy.yaml — restore any custom settings from there.
Coming soon
- Metadata source toggles in the web UI (no more config.yaml edits)
- Experimental playlist support
