I can't seem to be able to use hardlink at all.. When using write, copy or link files are being copied normally. When I hardlink they disappear. Any idea why this happens?

does your filesystem support hardlinks? are you staying within the filesystem?

darwin, yes I'm on linux. And I import /mnt/Music/Test with directory:/mnt/Music/Music/

sokan: What's your filesystem though? Just because you're on Linux doesn't mean hardlinks are supported—it's a filesystem feature, not an OS one..

Freso, it's ntfs.

so... i have a 93% match. there are missing tracks, but beets won't automatically proceed.

it asks anyway... i tried tuning strong_rec_thresh to 0.15, rec_gap_thresh to 0.05, etc...

but i don't want to answer things that are this close. what else can i change?

sokan: there's your problem.

aaaaah

Demosthe1ex: if you don't care about missing tracks, you can set that with max_rec

DjSlash, i recalled that i could hardlink in ntfs but it's only via ln and only for files. Can't hardlink dirs sadly

Damn it.

With symlinks original file gets re-written if use write:on?

DjSlash: i already had that set to medium

@sokan: Yes the original files will be rewritten. Remember a symlink isn't a shortcut. It's just a pointer to the location of the file. When you edit the symlink, you're actually editing the original file

esc-reality, so the only real way to change metadata is by copying....

If you want to continue seeding and edit the tags, yes copying is your only option

when we talking editing tags, we mean renaming?

Well, I suppose there must be solutions where the tags are being written to xml files i.e.

Ehh no, I was talking about editing metadata, id3 tags.

how can i check id3 tags?

Write:

Either yes or no, controlling whether metadata (e.g., ID3) tags are written to files when using beet import. Defaults to yes. The -w and -W command-line options override this setting.

What os are you using?

You can use the beets info plugin for example

linux

wat

Well, use the beets info plugin. Or install the eyed3 package

Lots of options

Or if you're using a dekstop environment, just rightclick on a song

And (I suppose) preferences -> details

esc-reality, will go for eyeD3

o.O

so many optiong

Run without options to see the tags

eyed3 song.mp3

Like this

eyeD3 01\ -\ Feediop.flac ----> nothing to do

flac doesnt have id3 tags

For flac you need the vorbis-tools package

after installation, vorbiscomment song.flac

nice nick btw

"Failed to open file as Vorbis: Input is not an Ogg bitstream."

My bad

try metaflac

metaflac --list song.flac

and if no output is there, then there are no tags right?

Suppose so
