I’m setting up Beets and importing a few albums to test my configuration. No matter what I can think to try, matched tags are always written to the imported files.
I’m using the linuxserver.io docker container.
I have “write: no” in my configuration, which seems to explicitly state that it will not write tags. This does stop fetched artwork from being embedded, for example, but tags like ARTIST and MUSICBRAINZ_ALBUMID are always written.
I’ve tried disabling chroma and switching from move to copy. Even disabling both move and copy results in the source files being modified in place.
I’ve also tried running import with -W to no change in behavior.
Am I misunderstanding the expected behavior? Do I have something misconfigured?
Thanks for any help.
Below is the output of beets config.
