Hi!
I’m trying to get all the duplicates in my library, but I can’t get it to work on singletons.
My duplicate keys are [mb_trackid, mb_releasegroupid, track]
As you can see, two of these keys are album-specific, however, beet info -l on the culprits shows that while they are singletons, these tags are nontheless populated, and this causes the recordings to not be seen as duplicates.
Could there be a way to adapt the duplicates plugin so that for singletons it doesn’t consider album-specific tags?
As a temporary workaround, I thought of using the inline plugin and create a tag this way:
dupe: |
if singleton:
return mb_trackid
else:
return mb_trackid+track+mb_releasegroupid
However, upon trying it out I got this error message:
beetsplug.inline.InlineError: error in inline path field code:
if singleton:
return mb_trackid
else:
return mb_trackid+track+mb_releasegroupid
NameError: global name 'singleton' is not defined
So what’s the name of the singleton tag in inline? How could I find out? Edit:
after looking at all the variables available for inline, there is nothing corresponding to the singleton tag
I did it by by trying
for x in globals():
print(x)

Hi! Indeed, looks like we don’t make computed fields available to inline code—and singleton is a computed field. (We should probably do that! Maybe consider filing a feature request?)
One workaround might be to use the album_id field. If the album ID is null, that means it’s a singleton.
That’t the whole problem: if a recording was previously tagged as part on an album by whatever program (beets or picard in my case) then the tag is taken over when beets imports the file - meaning that even if it is a singleton, it will have a populated album_id and other field. As an example, one of my singletons’ beet info -l output:
/media/soergeld/My Passport/by-album/Watts, Andre/Liszt, Franz/Les Jeux d'eau a la Villa d'Este.mp3
aa: André Watts Plays Liszt, Album 1
aaa: Watts, André

As can be seen, the album- specific fields are populated, even if it is a singleton. beet scrub doesn’t help and these tags are used by the duplicates plugin, resulting in non-detection of some duplicates.
I found another workaround, based on the fact that I name singletons differently to albums, and then I read the path field to detect that, but that’s quite ugly.
Upon verification: All my singletons have an empty album_id field, so your workaround should work, however I’m not sure why this album-related tag got cleaned and not all the others.
That field is the SQL foreign key that associates items with albums. So it’s not just any field—it literally defines whether a track is a singleton or not.
Other album-level fields are allowed to exist on items as well. We wouldn’t want to prevent tracks from having years just because they’re singletons, for example.
On inline: Is it possible to create the whole path in python and then just do
paths:
default: path_inline
?
I tried it but I run into unicode-related error messages:

(here tested with the alternatives plugin). Is creating entire paths with inline a no-go, or is there a workaround?
