I'm running beets in a docker.

this is the command im using
docker exec -it beets /bin/bash -c 'beet -v import /music/Metal/Tool/"Undertow (1993)"/'
this is the file permissions -rw-rw-r--
it is under my user
It moves the files, but doesn't add tags to it. The main thing I want to add is albumart.
