Anyone on here that could give me a few pointers about tagging with beets?

^ best pointer there is

Hi, thanks for the link, I have browsed through almost all of it, but there is still something I'm wondering about: Is there any built-in way (or supplied by a plugin) to tag music files from a txt-file? I have text files listing all metadata for an album, one line per track, structured in a set pattern. Or would I have to code this functionality myself?

There's currently no such functionality, afaik. So yes, you'd have to code that yourself. But maybe a better effort would be to add missing metadata to musicbrainz, so others might benefit and you can use beets in its best ability.

You're doing good work, DjSlash!

Can I use the rewrite plugin to remove "Original Motion Picture Soundtrack" from album titles? Would it just look like "album .*original motion picture soundtrack.*: " ?

Hi. To remove an album, can I do an /bin/rm <album> and then beet update ?

I did that yesterday, it worked. :)

ok thanks fryfrog :)

hi, I have a slight problem with fetchart. it's downloading the album art and placing it in /tmp but then it just leaves it there without moving the art to its respective directory in my music dir

it's definitely not a permission issue since in /tmp the files are owned by me and my group and in my music dir all the subdirectories are 775 (and owned by me and my group)

my config.yaml: https://hastebin.com/gixahecafa.http

okay that's odd, it seems it does actually do its job if I set embedart to not delete the file. however before I did that it wasn't actually embedding the art so I guess it first deletes then embeds?
