I think the best way to describe my situation is this: my files and folder structure looks like this:
music => artist01 => album01 => track 01-10 music => artist01 => album02 => track 01-10 music => artist01mispelt => album01 => track 01-03 music => artist01 => album01misspelt => track 05-08 music => artist02 => album01 => track 01-05 music => artist02 => album01 => track 03-09 music => artist02 => album01 => track 01-10 music => random_folder => album01 => track 01 basically some albums are properly sorted by their artist in subfolder with all tracks, sometimes an artist is split across multiple folders like music => Bob Marly and music => Bob Marley & The Wailers when they actually all belong into the Bob Marley folder. Sometimes a compilation has been split by artist so I have say 20 artist folder each with one album folder inside each with one track inside when they actually all belong into one compilation. So most of the time, the meta data is right and if it isn't the folder structure + accoustid can be used to sort music. What flags do you recommend to sort this huge mess into a properly organized media library. Until now I've been going through my collection using beets import /music/A* and then answered all the questions I was asked when necessary, followed by beet import /music/B' and so on. Now I am somewhere around K* and have plenty of songs which I have imported as track only as beet ran across something like music => artis002 => album001 => track 01 BUT I am sure more tracks belonging to the same album are aroudn somewhere as I didn't own any single tracks, only complete albums. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "beets" group.
