Multiple audio collections

Help
1

Hi all,
from some postings here I learned that beets does not support multiple audio collections. Is this correct or could I do it by loading beets with another configuration file pointing to an other database etc.

Background: I don’t want to manage my podcasts together with my music collection.

TIA

I don’t have any experience with multiple collections myself, but it looks like you should be able to do what you want with the global flags:

Hi @juh,

Not sure if this helps, but @macleodmike uses separate collections to separate MP3 and FLAC. Maybe his post can help you.
