Remove or rename files from ibroadcast

[catap]

Is it possible to remove or rename files from ibroadcast when I delete or rename it from local beets collections?

Thanks.

@catap Good questions!

As written currently, when you rename a track in beets, that should bump the mtime, which should trigger beets-ibroadcast to delete your old track and reupload the new version the next time you run beet ibroadcast <query> with a matching query. I haven't tested it, though. Curious to hear whether you have success with that.

As for deleting: there is currently no mechanism to delete a track from iBroadcast in response to the track being deleted from beets. One way we could accomplish that would be to listen for item_removed and delete the iBroadcast track in response.

If the event-based approach works well for deleting, we could potentially also use it for renaming or other metadata updates—the after_write function looks promising for that.

I don't have time to implement these changes now, but we can leave this issue open as a reminder. And of course, PRs are welcome any time if you have the time and interest to work on such things.

@ctrueden thanks to make this clear. I can try to implement it, but I have no idea when I'll have time to it.
