Extend options for unmatched tracks #129
Comments
any progress on this? |
@montchr No. Please consider contributing if this feature is important to you. Even a high-level design for how the interface should work would be helpful. |
@sampsyo I'll certainly consider it over the next few months. I'm not very experienced with Python, but I do hope to improve my skills there. |
Awesome, thanks! Even if you don't get too far with the actual coding, just some thought on how the feature should work is a step in the right direction. |
There could be several 'strategies' for handling unmatched tracks, which need not be mutually exclusive. I propose at least the following options:
Perhaps this should be offered as an interactive choice to the user, with |
Cool; good ideas. FWIW, the "manual" option resembles #154, which is a great catch-all fallback for ambiguous situations like this. |
I just discovered that the unmatched tracks are simply not imported (I thought they were at least copied as is), so I'm interested in any progress on this issue. |
No progress so far, I am afraid. Busy times... If you're able to work on this: great! If you need help, suggestions or a review: I'd glady help out. |
I looked further at this problem and tried two strategies to import unmatched tracks:
I re-checked all my collection and have a big number of unmatched tracks so this issue is important for me. |
@daks As you state yourself, your proposed solution would 'break' a lot of albums. AFAIK a lot of albums have additional tracks which, for some reason, never made it into MusicBrainz. As I proposed above, there should at least be an option to include additional tracks as-is with the album. |
In reality, I wasn't proposing anything just telling what I have tested :) For me the problem is that, for 95% of my albums, if there are unmatched tracks in the album they should be added as tracks of the album, not non-album tracks. It seems that is your idea too. |
@daks Good questions! I'm glad you're interested in helping out. Please just let me know (here, on the mailing list, on IRC...) if you have questions while sorting out the codebase. Here are some notes to point you in the right direction:
Thanks again for looking into this! |
I'd like an option to import extra unmatched tracks in a directory without tagging the track number, but keeping the title/artist/album tags intact. |
I'm interested in this too. When I find time to contribute to beets, I'll probably tackle this issue (after another "easier" contribution) @daks how did you rescan your library to find unmatched tracks without reimporting ? |
I'm interested in this as well. Hopefully it will be considered soon :) |
