#beets

looks like it is hung again

different group of files

still on the linux clinet

client even

do you have m4a or mp4 or .ape files in there?

not in any of the folders that I am importing. I know that beets rejects that file type :D

found that out one day lol

server is showing basically no CPU activity, no extensive RAM usage

share that the songs are on doesn't appear to be showing much activity (not at home to see if the disk lights are flashing), but this import has been running for a few hours for not that many folders.

when I have this behavior

I keep reducing the number of folders

basically, there's going to be an edge case with mutagen, probably on a corrupted file

or a file with terrible tags.

I understand it sucks but it's files and files tags sucking... not really beets.. :/

(almost all the time)

totally understand :). this is one reason that I have not imported my entire music library folder in one go :D

#musicbrainz

hello?

hi

i have an issue with the lastfm genre tagger in beets

can you help me?

that depends entirely on what your issue might be

it put wrong tags on an album

I've just discovered beets and I'm still learning to work with it

could you provide some examples?

in short, I've imported 2 albums, one has the correct tags, the other not

this is in my config fily:

plugins: fetchart embedart lastgenre

lastgenre:

count: 2

id3v23 : yes

the biggie ready to die album is tagged correctly

jurassic 5 - jurassic 5 is tagged rock and classic rock while this should be hiphop

well, that albums *has* those tags on last.fm

*album

uh? http://www.last.fm/music/Jurassic+5/Jurassic+5+...

oh i feel stupid :/

don't :)

I mean, last.fm could offer some better tag management and for that matter, better matching using musicbrainz id's

i don't understand

well, for example, you can't vote for tags on a artist/album. So there can't be some sort of moderation if someone tags it wrong

on last fm?

yes

ok, so i should disable that plugin and use music brains tags?

hm i just read, beet doesn't do that

yeah, musicbrainz doesn't support genre tags that much (yet)

so last.fm genre tags is the best we have at this point

ok

changed it manually now

thanks for your help :)

you're welcome

Mostly because genres are pretty subjective, and MB is mostly objective data oriented.

Also, one of the problems with Last.fm is that is has terrible disambiguation.

yes, absolutely

So an artist like "Alex" which there are a thousand of will have tags like "pop", "r&b", "k-pop", "rock", "trance", "house", ...

At one point they had planned to disambiguate better (based on Artist MusicBrainz IDs), but I guess those plans got scrapped early on during the Last.fm decline.

that's what I meant when I said "better matching using musicbrainz id's"

oh that sucks, i just want all my music from one genre to have the same tag so i don't have tons of different hiphop genres in itunes/on my phone

wob: FWIW, I have *plans* to do AllMusic, Discogs, and AcousticBrainz plugins.

Plans like that are fickle though, so no guarantees that it'll ever happen.

(I realised there's already a Discogs one - but I want one that only does genres.)

hehe :)

*realise

(Ultimately I want to pull in data from all of the above (incl. my MB user tags) and combine them.)

that would be neat, guess i'm going to keep an eye out on the changelogs of new releases

It would likely appear in my GitHub user repositories before coming into upstream beets :)

i'm subscribed to the thread in wcd

don't have a github acc

sampsyo: "this will be one of the last releases to support Python 2.6"... why not "[...] be the last release [...]"?

Freso: I'd say he first wants to hear whether there's people still relying on 2.6 and then decide when to stop support

Is there an easy way to register a listener that is a method of the plugin?

beet - [press TAB key] prints the following

the outcome is not the one expected as per http://beets.readthedocs.org/en/latest/referenc...

any ideas?

bash on Ubuntu 14.04

what is "_get_comp_words_by_ref: command not found"?

I had plenty of issues with the zsh completion, ultimately resulting in me removing that. :/

sv2241: sounds like you haven't bash completion enabled (correctly)

DjSlash: how can I fix that?

it does work for everything else but not beets

well, _get_comp_words_by_ref is part of bash-completion itself

DjSlash: thanks. apt install bash-completion did it

and adjust ~/.bashrc to point to /etc/bash_completion.d/ where beets file was created from the output of 'beet completion' command

you are probably better of to source /etc/bash_completion for a complete experience (afaik it will include /etc/bash_completion.d files automatically)

you're correct ofc

i have a condition path format based on last.fm genre scrapping that somehow is screwing up the auto-tagging process for matched mbid releases

"genre:Comedy": Music/Other/Album/$albumartist/[$year] $album%aunique{}/$track $artist - $title

problem is with this MBID: https://musicbrainz.org/release/4a2da315-4236-4...

during the auto-tagging process, I see the following text: "added last.fm album genre (artist): Electronic" for above release when normally it should have been comedy

lastgenre plugin is configured with source: album and NOT artist so why does it fetch this artist tag instead of album tag?
