* Autotag
** The Objective
+ Given a list of files, a album name and/or an artist name, find the
most apropiate release and apply its tags to the files.
** The Problems
+ musicbrainz stores a lot of metadata for each release
+ the structure of the metadata is not clear
+ metadata is not always available
** Implementation
+ autotag searches for all releases with a given name and prompts the
user to select one using dmenu. The id is kept.
+ the relevant release is looked up using the kept id. We do this in
order to include extra metadata that is not included in a mb-search
+ The metadata relevant to the whole release is kept while the
metadata for each track is retreived
+ The metadata is joined together.
+ Metadata is applied to the song files, the user is prompted each
time a unambiguous selection cannot be made.
** FIXME
+ Check for musicbrainz errors
** Ideas
+ add tag stack to reuse tags, usefull for manual tagging
+ manually give autotag a release id, might be useful later
+ add -f 'artist,album,track, ...' to control tags, implement more tags
+ export tags to stdout instead of just writing them
+ write scripts
