Importing local data ==================== Local music collection ---------------------- The `Beets music organiser `_ is recommended for large music collections. You can use :mod:`calliope.beets` or :program:`cpe beets` to list the contents of the Beets library. Linux desktop users who have the `Tracker search engine `_ installed can use :mod:`calliope.tracker` or :program:`cpe tracker` to list local music files. Playlists stored as files ------------------------- Use the :func:`calliope.import_.import_` function, or the :program:`cpe import` command to load playlist files. I recommend that you store your playlists in `XSPF `_ format. It's the most flexible and widely supported playlist format I know of. Playlists from applications --------------------------- Most apps can import and export playlists in a format Calliope can read. * Rhythmbox: the `Playlists import/export plugin `_ may be useful.
