Beet not writing genre to files #5086
Description
Hi, I used the lastimprt plugin to add genre data at an album granularity, assuming that'd then show up in my subsonic server, but it didn't.
Problem
Relevant outputs:
$ beet info sleepwalker -a | grep genre
genre: Alternative Rock, Space Rock, Electronic Rock
$ beet info sleepwalker | grep genre
$ ffprobe The\ Anix\ -\ 05\ Sleepwalker.flac 2>&1 | grep GENRE
$ beet --version
beets version 1.6.0
Python version 3.11.6
plugins: chroma, convert, duplicates, edit, fetchart, info, inline, lastgenre, lastimport, lyrics, missing, smartplaylist, web, zeroLed to this problem:
I'm not sure if there are any relevant verbose logs to capture, but I ran beet lastimport followed by beet write before running the above commands that I've pasted for you.
Here's a link to the music files that trigger the bug (if relevant):
Not relevant, since the bug is across the whole library on opus,mp3 and flac files.
Setup
- OS: Linux (ArchLinux)
- beets version 1.6.0
- Python version 3.11.6
- plugins: chroma, convert, duplicates, edit, fetchart, info, inline, lastgenre, lastimport, lyrics, missing, smartplaylist, web, zero
- did turning off plugins help: confusingly, maybe?

From not having any genre/genres fields in the tracks at all to having blank fields created is some sort of progress, I think.
