Hello. I’m having issues regarding my music library which I have recently brought over from MusicBee. With my personal tagging system, albums by the same album artist that were released in the same year have a letter added to them. For instance, The Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Heart Club Band is tagged with the year “1967a” while Magical Mystery Tour is tagged with “1967b”, this is to guarantee chronological organization without having to input exact release dates for every album in my collection.
MusicBee, while showing my a tiny warning about how the year tag was “invalid”, accepted it anyways, organizing the folders in the following way for the above example:
The Beatles/(1967a) - Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
The Beatles/(1967b) - Magical Mystery Tour
However, with beets, the “unorthodox” year tags are being seemingly ignored, and being organized as follows:
The Beatles/(0000) - Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
The Beatles/(0000) - Magical Mystery Tour
What could I do about this? Here’s my current configuration:
plugins: vtalbumartist inline
directory: /home/auran/drive/Music
library: /home/auran/Music/musiclibrary.db
import:
move: no
copy: yes
write: yes
autotag: no
log: beetslog.txt
art_filename: Cover
paths:
default: $albumartist/($year) - $album/$disc_and_track. $title
format_item: $albumartist - $album - $title
format_album: $albumartist - $album - $year
sort_item: albumartist+ year+ album+ disc+ track+
sort_album: albumartist+ year+ album+
per_disc_number: yes
item_fields:
disc_and_track: u'%02i-%02i' % (disc, track) if
disctotal > 1 else u'%02i' % (track)
Thank you in advance.
