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?

    I am really sorry for what happened ,

    I don’t live in the US so idk what RIAA is but they sound like they are not a good group.

    If i may ask, the members (your friends who also liked working in the radio station) what happened to them ?

    Do you still meet up and enjoy music sometimes?

      RIAA: Recording Industry Association of America

      All you really need to know is they are a bunch of self serving pricks.

      Our lives went separate ways and I got caught up in other things. That was 28+ years ago. Lots of water under the bridge.

        That is a LOT of years !

        Having the experience of living that long is invaluable isn’t it ?

          Longevity, like a lot of things, has it’s positives and it’s negatives. It’s been a pretty decent ride even tho I was forced to ride the train. ;)
