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 tried with beets, but you really have to do a lot of research in advance to understand what it is doing and the settings you need, and it’s not one-size-fits-all."

This is exactly how it's gone for me in the past. This is maybe my 3rd or 4th attempt at it, but I finally feel like I'm getting a handle on it.
