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?
Adding to this as well
Ive painfully tried really hard to make lidarr work for me. I mean I really tried, for one whole year.
Beginning July I’ve dumped lidarr and started using only picard. Oh my, I wish I had tried it first.
Picard is more manual, I’ve spent much more time actually listening then trying to make lidarr work the way I wanted.
I cant speak for beets though.
