#beets

Hey all, is there a way to manually add/embed album art? I placed a cover.jpg in an imported album folder and then ran 'beet embedart album' to which it responds "No album art present"

I'm guessing it's 'cos embedart checks the DB not the folder and that theres no entry in the db for the art since I manually added it.

I think fetchart + embedart, with fetchart set to not look for local art?

oh, but if you added the art to the post-tag directory, you'd need to re-import, or something. I was talking at import time.

ah ok i'll give that a try

yeah re-importing it worked

so in the future, if i import an album for which fetchart doesn't find album art, if i then want to add the art manually I have to place the file in the album directory and re-import the album?

import -L should work, I think?

What does the Zero plugin docs mean in "Note that the plugin currently does not zero fields when importing “as-is”."?

got it, "Import the album without changing any tags"

i wonder how beets things it's going to correct the lengths of tracks ...

*thinks

xplat: :) it doesn't; it just wants to show you the discrepancy
