Hi!

Im new to Beets. I love it but i have some questions…

**QUESTION 1**  
If i run Beets it asks for help matching/duplicated an album. What is the command in the config to just choose SKIP (S) every time? I have these commands in my config but that doesnt help.

```auto
autotag: yes
timid: no
none_rec_action: skip
default_action: skip
duplicate_action: skip
quiet_fallback: skip 
import.none_rec_action: skip

```

**QUESTION 2**  
And if i have this naming scheme:  
`default: %upper{%left{$albumartist,1}}/%asciify{$albumartist}/%asciify{$albumartist} - $albumtype - $original_year - $album%aunique{albumdisambig country, label}%if{$albumdisamambig, [%title{$albumdisambig}]}/$disc - $track - %asciify{$artist} - %asciify{$title}`  
An album can be like this:  
_Guano Apes - single - 1997 - Open Your Eyes [53] []_  
Why do i get [53]? And if Beets cant find details on album can it skip the []?

Thanks for helping me!

For #1, that would be `duplicate_action`. But it will need to be nested under the `import` section. You can see what the syntax should look like in this little example:  
[https://beets.readthedocs.io/en/stable/reference/config.html#importer-options](https://beets.readthedocs.io/en/stable/reference/config.html#importer-options)

For #2, it’s hard to tell exactly what’s going on without full context, but the `[53]` probably comes from the `%aunique{}` call in your path format. The reason the extra ` []` is in there is because you have misspelled `$albumdisamambig` in the `%if{}` call.

sorry for an late answer. Ive been sick.  
I ended up changing my naming scheme to:  
`default: %upper{%left{$albumartist_sort,1}}/$albumartist/$albumartist - $albumtype - $original_year - $album%if{$albumdisambig, (%title{$albumdisambig}),} [$label] [$bitdepth-$samplerate $format]/$disc-$track - $artist - $title`
