devster31: V0 and V2 are actually pretty hard to detect (although it's in progress—take a look at the GitHub issues). But you can certainly use the `inline` plugin, for example, to only put the bitrate into the filenames for lossy music.

Hmm; I wish HazWard were still here… they should know about AURA!

sampsyo I think I found a snippet to approximate it, it's not perfect but seems to work, with inline plugin: https://bpaste.net/show/cc8a0f31d109

it seems to work decently

Yeah, that should do an imperfect-but-workable job

also mediainfo has sometimes the encoder options, that might be parseable with a similar method

I'm having issues replacing quotes in the file names, should I open an issue on github?

Sure—or, if it's more of a general question than a specific report, our Discourse is good for that too.

(There's also been a fair amount of discussion about quotes and stuff recently there, FWIW.)

it's too bad Python doesn't support unicode char classes, they make it so much easier

yep, discourse folks seem to already have found a solution

still no idea why YAML has '''' syntax but whatever

hi!

if i update the config paths section, what should i do so that the changes are taken into account (files renamed accordingly) ?

oh it's in the FAQ :) ok nvm

sampsyo: Hey I heard about AURA but it feel like it does tie closely with beets

and I'm not a huge fan of Javascript

The project is exactly what I'm looking for but there's also not a lot of traction

Mattiaslndstrm: About organizing your iTunes library I not 100% sure what your trying to accomplish is possible

The best approach would be to organize everything with beets and just import the files into iTunes but that a lot of work for you

HazWard Thank you for answering! Because iTunes is storing the tags in another location than the file?

Mattiaslndstrm: Unfortunately I can't really tell you how iTunes stores tags. I stopped using iTunes a long time ago, now I use beets to manage my library and upload everything to Google Play Music using gmusicapi. I can then just download my songs from any device I have

HazWard: That's an interesting solution! I use an iPod to play my music while on the go though, so if I manage to organise my collection, iTunes will be convenient.

Mattiaslndstrm: what generation is the iPod because I'm using a 4th gen iPod with Google Play Music and it's great I never have to use iTunes

iPod touch

HazWard: It's an iPod classic, so no internet access.

HazWard: Googling with a bit more care it seems like I can update my library from the files.

But iTunes doesn't import files automatically

HazWard: I mean updating all the files I already have in my library. What were you thinking?

Running the lastgenre plugin doesn't find any genres for my albums. I can't find any matching issue on github or any other information on what might be wrong. Any suggestions?
