beets

Airsonic + beets My airsonic + beets journey continues. It turns out there’s no really good way to merge singletons into an album in beets aside from re-importing (references here and here). So the tracks I imported with the -s flag have been an enormous pain the ass. In addition I somehow did something, I don’t know what, that wiped all the track data for the Umurangi Generation and Umurangi Generation Macro soundtracks.

So I’m attempting to set up my music collection with airsonic and beets. So far airsonic works great… for the music which happens to be in a /artist/album/track folder structure and is properly tagged. So the most common solutions for getting your music organized this way are MusicBrainz Picard and beets. Picard is a non-starter for me because my music is on a headless server with only web interfaces and shell connections exposed.
