#beets

Is there any way to adjust the suggestions for the tracks that beets makes? Sometimes it gets the albums correct, but a couple of the tracks are switched around.

I can't seem to find an "edit mode" where I can fix the tracks that are wrong manually while using the auto tagger.

(also, merry christmas, happy holidays, etc.)

ebag: y0h

I have found that usually beets is right

could you paste an example of a realeae you're having an issue with, to a pastebin?

sure, I think I may have fixed the issue, I enabled the chroma plugin, and it seems to be working properly now.

hrm... that's an odd way to "solve" the problem but it depends on your input etc.

what sort of music are you tagging?

you'll see that track 2 (dont_ask_me_to_dance.flac) isn't being tagged properly.

so, first, you're welcome for it printing filenames there :D

so.. what are the durations of the two tracks being confused?

They were .wav's that I just encoded as .flacs

4:01 for don't ask, and 3:57 for "if there's"

darwin: thanks for the filename printing (:

(technically sampsyo programmed it, but I asked for it, lol)

but so, generally, 4:01 vs 3:57 should be a "duration" callout on the diff

you're sure the tracks are correctly named?

did the inputs have track numberS?

hmm... I haven't verified that... no track numbers on the inputs. I'll have to listen to them.

maybe the weren't properly ripped from disc?

in my experience, beets and musicbrainz are *usually* actually right

and my input is *usually* wrong

that's possible. I'll manually verify them... thanks.

should have done that to begin with!

the fact that only "title" differ, but the tracks aren't exactly the same duration

is to me a hint

(how'd you find beets, if you don't mind me asking?)

(noting that this channel is publically logged)

i can't remember how i found beets

darwin: I was browsing the audio section of the OpenBSD ports collection... I think I was just looking for an encoder at the time, and came across beets, and thought... oh, that looks neat.

And realized since my collection is all .wav files, I didn't have any decent meta-data, and so I figured I'd try it out to see how it did with tagging my music.

ebag: nice, pretty good case for beets + acoustid

is it appropriate to use beets for one-time processing of lossless input files to transcode to say opus output format?

or is there some suggested other software suite which does this more suitably?

I did try to use Gnome Sound Converter, and then Python Audio Tools

neither did very well

you can probably search for an ffmpeg command string to do it quickly

oh okay as a triggered command then

hmm?

i just meant a one time command

how do I configure my paths variable for multiple discs?

Looking for an example

vin $some/$path/%if{$multidisc,Disc $disc/$disc-}$track $title
