I’m finally making a real effort to add beets to my life. I’ve been hesitant because I like what I like and I (mostly) know what I’m doing, you know? I also have a lot of local independent albums that are just not likely to get tagged anyway.

But here I am. Yesterday I was able to work through:

  • Implementing my preferred directory structure and naming conventions
  • Adding album art (embedded and in the folder)
  • Embedding lyrics
  • Adding ReplyGain information

I use Navidrome as my server and have a collection of about 2000 albums.

What are some of your tips for using beets?

What cool things are you doing?

What should I be thinking about as I go about this?

    albums one by one with --timid flag. You are using Navidrome , than you music should be well tagged already. Should be fast and easy, just repeat it 2000 time. You can also disable lockups and just import “as is” if you trust your taggig

      That’s the thing, I think my tags are mostly in really good shape and I’m happy with them. Maybe I’m just looking to solve a problem I don’t have.
