This adds a new link type, [[music:artist:song]].

Link examples

[[music:De/Vision:Deep Blue]] Refers to the song Deep Blue by De/Vision. Exporting gives Deep Blue by De/Vision, and following the link in Emacs plays the song from the beginning.

[[music:De/Vision:Deep Blue::104s]] simply refers to the same song 104 seconds in. This exports as 104 seconds into Deep Blue by De/Vision.

When exporting to HTML or LaTeX there is a variant of the [[music:]] link which may be of interest — [[Music:]]. This functions identically, however is a bit fancier when exported.

When exporting to HTML, [[music:De/Vision:Deep Blue]] produces:

<div class='music-track'>
  <a target="_blank" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cV8c9Vxz3fY">
    <img src='http://coverartarchive.org/release/fc9ffbd5-e3b1-487b-acdf-3584495b7b28/6088153643-250.jpg'></a>
  <span><a target="_blank" title="De/vision Deep Blue"
           href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cV8c9Vxz3fY">
      <span style="font-style: italic">Deep Blue</span>
      <br><small>Noob</small><br>by De/Vision</a></span>
</div>

Similarly, exporting to LaTeX produces:

\begin{tabular}{@{\hspace{0.3\columnwidth}}r@{\hspace{0.1\columnwidth}}p{0.4\columnwidth}}
  \includegraphics[height=6em]{/home/tec/Music/De_Vision/Noob/cover.jpg}
  & \vspace{-0.12\columnwidth}\href{https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cV8c9Vxz3fY}%
    {\emph{Deep Blue}\newline {\footnotesize Noob}\newline by De/Vision}
\end{tabular}

Settings

Beets integration

When org-music-track-search-method is set to beets, music tracks will be located by querying beets' database (org-music-beets-db).

A number of other features are only work with Beets, such as M-x org-music-search-and-play.

Youtube integration

When a youtube API key is provided (see org-music-youtube-api-key), the track metadata is used to fetch a youtube URL to the track, which is used when exporting.

Music player

Currently only music players that work with MPRIS are supported. When org-music-mpris-player is nil, the MPRIS player is guessed by looking for registered dbus services which use the org.mpris.MediaPlayer2 interface.
