brandonj: No; that shouldn't be happening. Very strange. Did you get to the bottom of it yet?

oloP: Yes, I think you've got the gist.

And if count isn't working, that's a shame—if you file a bug, the people who've been hacking on that plugin may be able to help you out.

sampsyo: nope, didn't discover the problem. Temporarily fixed it by making ~/Music a symlink to the actual library directory

am using the scrub plugin on my music, but they are still retaining extra tags like <MusicBrainz Artist Id> <Release Type> etc which were not there before using beet

sampsyo : what's the purpose of having both genre.txt and tree.yaml files?

wouldn't tree.yaml be sufficient, even if it's flat?

Hi, "beet fingerprint" generates and saves fingerprints, but if there already was a fingerprint in the database (grabbed with "beet submit") it won't write the fingerprint to the file

Is there a way to save fingerprints already generated to the files?

brandonj: weird. and "beet -v version" shows the correct directory, yes?

oloP: it's mostly historical (canonicalization was added later); maybe it's time to merge them

Skeptix: good question. this is a job for a proposed "beet write" command that we're working on now—there's an issue on GH if you're interested

sampsyo: I just started looking into the write command (said I would do so a couple weeks back but got sidetracked). Did someone else also start working on it?

that's right, now I recall!

no, I don't think so—I think it was just you

ah, ok. Just making sure there's no duplicate effort on this :)

good to check :)

sampsyo: good evening

what's the status of attachments?

hey

:)

i've read wiki about this

nothing you don't see in the issue thread—it's in the design phase

so you've agreed on design already :)?

i country to implement atleast something

could*

*autocorrect in my head*

:)

we haven't completely settled it; it's been a while since I've read the wiki page and it's still evolving

please do edit though if you have ideas

i need probably to see design of beets itself

how it stores stuff

ok i'll try my best

sure

the API docs on Rtd are spare but getting better

I recommend starting there

do you currently store anything in db together with music files?

or it's only a music files?

no, only music

k

oh, and album art

hmz

album art goes together with music files in one table..?

just like a column or smtng with reference to id?

or it's not RBDMS? :))

this rtd? https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyrtd

nosql a-like.. that even more fun

RTD = ReadTheDocs

:DDD oh sorry

sampsyo: I have a quick question about item.write(). It seems to work fine here so far for most values. I need to add some special handling for "None". However I also seems to have troubles with bpm

I have 83.95 in the database, but it gets written as 83

probably defined as an integer, erroneously?

oh, wait, no, misunderstood your question

what kind of music are you doing in beets that bpm is important? :)

well, I don't really care that much. But if I write a value from the database to a file, it should not be done in a lossy way.

hi

I have languages: [fr, de, en]

under import: in my config file

still, when I import an album from http://musicbrainz.org/artist/6255b6b6-2798-440... beets uses the cyrillic name

I'd like to have Pjotr Leschenko. What am I missing?

is that the correct syntax for multiple?

and does the artist have the correct localeized alias?

it tworks for other artists

and the artist has a "German Germany" locale. Maybe it beets wants a simple "german" one?
