#beets

%foo{} functions don't work inside "inline" script snippets. Not sure if path functions are available there at all.

how does acoustID work when there's no match in the musicbrainz database? does it fallback on the normal (non-acoustID) matching methods? https://beets.readthedocs.io/en/v1.4.3/plugins/...

It always uses the "normal matching methods", the AcoustID is just one more parameter being checked (with a high weight).

where in the code does it weigh all the parameters?

ballin, you can also run it with python3 by path like python3 $(which beets)

jrobeson: Depends on how it's been installed. E.g., when it was installed with Py2 on Arch, most of the beets stuff would live under /usr/lib/python2.7/…, so if you "forcefully" called /usr/bin/beets with python3 it would break because all of the Python modules it requires aren't available.

*/usr/bin/beet

yeah you'd definitely have to install the deps

jrobeson: Including beets itself.

yeah :(

/usr/bin/beet will not work with Python 2 in that setup. (Unless it's run "from source" or is installed alongside or some such workaround.)

yeah that's what i said. i forgot i was running from src :)

(That's the output of `pacman -Ql beets-git`, btw.)

Right.

:| git-filter-branch's --prune-empty is not pruning empty commits.

be lucky you have git filter branch :)

such a useful command in general

ah, this just showed up on HN http://manishearth.github.io/blog/2017/03/05/un...

is there a way to remap tag attributes on import? I have some compilations which get tagged as [album name] for the album, but I'd rather tag tracks from each disc with [disc name] for the album field.

ooh I have one album like that too

it's strictly speaking not a compilation, but it has two discs which have different names

plus a name for the whole thing

hmm.. I wonder how it handled my case for a similiar thing

1 title which is a combination of all 3 disc names separated by / and then each disc has a name

I want to keep my CD1/CD2 paths. Is there a way?

sure: https://gist.github.com/DjSlash/3313266de1b6966...

(line 64 is also relevant)

cool

your config is very nice i think i'll probably borrow a few other things.

thanks again.
