I hoped to become a successful musician someday, and while that has
yet to happen, I've recorded a fair share of unreleased music over the
years.  I decided it was time to share some of it with the world
through the power of Emacs!

Rather than using the available non-free (or even free?) platforms out
there, I decided to build a Bandcamp-like page from scratch.  While I
could have chosen many of the static-site building tools, I decided to
use the tool closest to my heart and automate the process of building
a web page from a directory of audio files with Emacs Lisp.

I will share with you how I managed to create a personal workflow for
releasing an album without leaving the One True Editor that includes
editing audio metadata with EMMS and generating HTML while cobbling
together yasnippet and the format macro.

# Questions

## What does "Bard Bivoumacs" mean?
Bad pun on "Bandcamp" — a bivouac is an improvised campsite and bard = band.

## Does this meta-data workflow also support unsynchronized lyrics within ID3-tags (multi-line meta-data)?
- The UI for EMMS is complex, a gazillion of functions in that
  namespace.
- Check EMMS info manual `(require 'emms-lyrics)` this uses lyrics
  files outside of ID3-tags.
- multi-line metadata may depend on the audio format?


## Is it possible to import batch meta-data?
Not sure, guesses yes. It can connect to metadata services. Backend
calls to shell programs for various purposes.

## My current workflow for tagging music is to first apply ReplayGain in foobar2000, fix egregious mistakes there (like funny directory structure, lack of album artist, &#x2026;), then use beets to apply metadata from Musicbrainz/Discogs and go over the remaining albums with foobar2000 again. I wondered whether there's a chance textual tagging could allow doing it all in one program, have you experimented with mass tag updates/queries?
No experience with that, but it could be possible if someone™ made the
right textual interface and would be very powerful (for example wdired
could be an interesting inspiration).

## Is there a link to some info expanding your philosophy of how to compensate musicians, I was interested to learn more about that.
No; universal (basic?) income would solve a lot of problems.

## What Emacs theme are you using?
kaolin theme, maybe aurora or bubblegum.

## Are you using Doom Emacs, per chance?
- Answered in chat, vanilla Emacs with doom-modeline.
- OK, thanks.

## Is SVG support built in to Emacs?
It's builtin in Emacs 27 (and earlier:
<https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/EmacsSvg>). You can even take
screenshots from within Emacs as SVG (if compiled `--with-cairo`).

## How do you take SVG screenshots within Emacs?
<https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/idz35e/emacs_27_can_take_svg_screenshots_of_itself/>

## It seems Mac does not have support for Cairo?
- Might need to manually compile Emacs with support for Cairo
  <https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/7ewewl/compiling_emacs_26090_with_cairo/>
- Download source code then take a look at the `--help` flag when
  running `./configure`. Cairo support is experimental and can be
  enabled with `./configure --with-cairo`.
  - I see. Thanks again.

# Notes
- Musician.
- Org document presented with org-tree-slide:
  <https://github.com/takaxp/org-tree-slide>
- EMMS (<https://www.gnu.org/software/emms/>) for metadata authoring
  and organising playlists.
  - Creates HTML from EMMS metadata.
- <https://github.com/jagrg/org-emms>
- Publish music by Emacs.
- I liked the example for beginners!
- Uses literate programming style to be able to resume work without
  much time available for programming.
  - See `(info "(org) Working with Source Code")` for single blocks
    <https://github.com/casouri/ftable/blob/master/ftable.elhat> can
    be executed in Emacs with C-c C-c.
  - Several languages combined with noweb `(info "(org) Noweb
    Reference Syntax")`.
- SVG support used for buttons.
- <http://churls.world> °°°
- Meta: "You can even take screenshots from within Emacs as SVG" —
  would it be possible to set up an SVG livestream&#x2026;?
  - I doubt it would be practical to do it at a high framerate, but
    it's worth trying out. The other disadvantage of the approach is
    that there's few vector animation formats (Flash, HTML5), so
    saving it losslessly to disk will be tricky.

[[!template text="in any media player. It'll be useful." start="00:07:41.599" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="Not just for the web page that I'm building." start="00:07:44.026" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template new="1" text="So the final part, of course, is to build the web page." start="00:07:47.639" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="Emacs makes authoring HTML trivial." start="00:07:51.440" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="As I was going through this," start="00:07:54.960" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="I wanted to challenge myself and just be, like," start="00:07:57.357" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="can I do this just all with Emacs? Can I just make this?" start="00:07:59.701" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="I don't need a... I don't need Ruby." start="00:08:03.520" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]

[[!template text="I have my tool right here. It's a fully..." start="00:08:08.528" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="It's a whole operating system, basically," start="00:08:10.560" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="plus programming languages." start="00:08:12.560" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="So the first thing I started with" start="00:08:15.039" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="was buffer scripting for manipulating text." start="00:08:17.171" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="That's kind of the easiest way to do it." start="00:08:19.919" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="Basically, anything you can do in a buffer," start="00:08:22.560" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="you can do programmatically with Elisp." start="00:08:24.692" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="So this might be a good example for beginners." start="00:08:27.834" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="If you haven't done any Elisp yet," start="00:08:30.217" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="a simple example is to create this div output here." start="00:08:33.919" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="You can use this with-temp-buffer," start="00:08:39.557" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="so basically creating an imaginary buffer." start="00:08:41.581" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="insert is just like typing," start="00:08:44.240" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="so you put strings in, you put new lines in," start="00:08:45.945" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="you can build some strings together." start="00:08:48.800" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="Here you can see I'm doing a random number," start="00:08:50.959" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="so every time I execute this," start="00:08:53.551" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="my content changes." start="00:08:55.360" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="I can generate dynamic content in HTML blocks with Elisp." start="00:08:56.790" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template new="1" text="For my web page builder, it's a little more complex." start="00:09:03.685" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="I'm pulling data out" start="00:09:06.493" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="using EMMS data structures," start="00:09:08.000" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="so it's pulling that out from the track data." start="00:09:12.080" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="And then I'm using some program to" start="00:09:16.080" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="generate list elements, so each track is" start="00:09:19.440" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="going to have the title and track number," start="00:09:21.440" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="and then a button for playing it," start="00:09:24.086" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="plus the source of the audio file," start="00:09:25.869" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="which will get added here." start="00:09:28.206" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="Right now, this is hard coded for Opus," start="00:09:30.480" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="so it won't work for my MP3s." start="00:09:32.485" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="I'm going to skip over snippets." start="00:09:37.200" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="Turns out format strings were good enough for me." start="00:09:38.867" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="Snippets could be useful," start="00:09:42.017" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="but format is super powerful," start="00:09:45.035" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="and I didn't really even need all that much power," start="00:09:47.267" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="basically, just doing string interpolation." start="00:09:49.839" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="So if you haven't seen format before," start="00:09:52.187" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="you basically put these control strings" start="00:09:54.560" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="or control characters inside of a string," start="00:09:56.720" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="and you can generate an output string that you want." start="00:09:59.120" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="So in my generator code, basically," start="00:10:05.040" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="it's down here," start="00:10:07.344" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="I'm calling format with this Bard Bivou(m)acs template," start="00:10:08.720" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="and that's basically a big string of HTML." start="00:10:12.800" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="It's just my whole page of HTML" start="00:10:17.491" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="with those control characters in just four places." start="00:10:21.200" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="One of them populates the track list." start="00:10:24.399" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="That's really the meat of the program." start="00:10:26.399" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="Again, this is a combination of using buffer scripting, using HTML mode," start="00:10:29.760" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="inserting text format strings," start="00:10:34.746" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="and then I can indent-region" start="00:10:37.279" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="so the HTML actually looks pretty" start="00:10:39.251" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="when it comes out of it as well." start="00:10:41.920" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="I will show that, just really quick actually." start="00:10:45.200" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="So you can see, this is the HTML that got generated." start="00:10:54.000" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="I've got my template." start="00:10:57.540" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="I inserted the title here, the style," start="00:10:58.800" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="the font was all inserted," start="00:11:02.193" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="and then this whole list of of tracks here." start="00:11:05.760" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="It's kind of messy to look at," start="00:11:07.920" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="but this track list, this whole div here," start="00:11:11.200" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="is all generated by my generator code, and it works. It's great." start="00:11:14.399" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="Okay, moving on." start="00:11:22.480" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template new="1" text="So the other thing was that as I was developing this," start="00:11:27.120" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="I decided to use Org Babel" start="00:11:30.945" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="and some of its features for multi-language things" start="00:11:32.547" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="because I needed to style it with CSS" start="00:11:35.588" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="and put actions in Javascript," start="00:11:37.839" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="and also I used SVG for authoring stuff." start="00:11:39.835" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="It was a little bit complicated." start="00:11:42.480" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="It probably would have been simpler" start="00:11:46.079" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="had I not used Org Babel," start="00:11:47.484" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="but it's also really fun." start="00:11:48.680" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="I think it's a cool, cool idea to use literate programming." start="00:11:49.894" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="My idea was to create HTML components." start="00:11:53.663" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="I could name it like this," start="00:11:57.001" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="put a format string inside it," start="00:11:59.519" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="and build a function" start="00:12:00.959" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="in Elisp to format it" start="00:12:02.800" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="and spit out the HTML that I want." start="00:12:04.302" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="By doing this, then," start="00:12:07.120" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="I can just change things in my Org file," start="00:12:09.581" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]

[[!template text="It looks funny when you do that," start="00:12:40.000" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]

[[!template text="and the script as well. So that's kind of cool." start="00:13:31.279" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="I could just run org-babel-tangle and get my thing out" start="00:13:34.480" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="and just edit one file instead of multiple files." start="00:13:37.527" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="Not for everyone, but I thought it was kind of fun. All right." start="00:13:40.480" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
