So I’m just getting started with Beets. Still testing things and am not yet ready to run the full import. But I can already see it’s super powerful and what I’ve been looking for for a long time to sort out my messy music collection.
One of the queries I want to write is a way to check if I have a digital version of every record I have in my vinyl collection (I have my vinyl collection all logged in Discogs). And the inverse - which ones am I missing.
I’ve installed the Discogs plugin. I’ve manually entered a discogs URL as ID on a a test import. So far so good.
When printing out a list from beets collection, can I return Discogs IDs that are associated? I saw at the bottom of this list - https://beets.readthedocs.io/en/v1.3.17/reference/pathformat.html - mention of paths from various plugins. But I can’t see anything specific to Discogs though.
n.b. not looking for beets to solve my end-to-end problem. Just to return some Discogs unique IDs that I can then manipulate further.
This field doesn’t seem to output anything for me, even though I have entered many releases into my collection via the discogs plugin. Any ideas why that might be?
Interestingly, beet fields does not display this discogs_albumid field.
