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.
