I just installed beets and am trying to import some stuff. Every time I’ve tried using ftintitle it will not do it.

I’ve tried ftintitle: auto: yes and drop: yes and neither work.

Here is my config  
directory: /home/myuser/data/.Automation/plexdrive-fuse/MyMedia/Music/  
library: ~/data/musiclibrary.db  
plugins: ftintitle inline fromfilename

max\_filename\_length: 255

ftintitle:  
drop: yes

import:  
copy: yes

paths:  
default: $albumartist/$album%aunique{}/%if{$multidisc,Disc $disc/}/$disctitle/$track - $artist - $title  
singleton: Singletons/$artist - $title  
comp: $album/$track $title  
albumtype:soundtrack: Soundtracks/$album/$track - $title

item\_fields:  
multidisc: 1 if disctotal \> 1 else 0

In -vv mode, I don’t even see where it is telling it to rename it like that.

Hmm… can you use `beet ls` or the `info` plugin to show what the final tags look like?

Also, is there any chance that output is from just one -v? Usually there’s more output from -vv.

Finally, could you please format the configuration and output using Markdown syntax so it gets formatted correctly?
