Hi all, apologise in advance for the long post. Setting up Beets again for first time in a while, but this time I am using the linuxserver/beets docker image running on a Synology NAS. It is quite handy being able to use terminal window within Synology’s Docker App without needing to SSH in.
I have inherited a fair sized config file from the docker image and have made changes, additions and retractions, but I am having the following issues:
RESOLVED 1.) Artist folders and album folders are recreated and renamed in my library directory fine, but track filenames do not take properly. I am literally getting “%track - %title.1.flac”, “%track - %title.2.flac” and so on (this happened before I tried implementing no.2 below).
RESOLVED 2.) Tried to facilitate multi-disc releases following the instructions in the FAQ https://beets.readthedocs.io/en/stable/faq.html#create-disc-n-directories-for-multi-disc-albums but now I am getting an additional folder between the album folder and tracks called “%if{$multidisc,Disc $disc” and the last “}” carries over to the track title.
3.) Is it possible for the directories in the import folder to be deleted after the newly tagged files have been moved? After import I am left with empty folders (everything is backed up before the import).
4.) How do I keep uppercase for first letters of all words? “The” is changed to "the ect.
5.) On lines 63-67 you can see that I have tried to make Discogs the preferred source for tags over MusicBrainz. I have been prompted for a Discogs token but after entering that I am still getting all matches with MusicBrainz instead, anything I need to adjust there?
6.) This one may not be possible, but wondering if the original import album folder has a cue/log or both, can we tell Beets to prefer to match to CD release? I seem to be getting a lot of Web matches when around 90% of my collection is CD.
