If you don’t know already, beets is a command line python program meant to automatically sort music. If you do know already, how have you set up your config file? Here’s mine:
directory: /mnt/chawley/Music library: /home/chawley/musiclibrary.blb import: # write metadata to music files write: yes # move imported files from source to the music directory move: yes copy: no delete: no # use auto-tagging where possible # do not require confirmation on strong matches autotag: yes timid: no resume: ask incremental: no none_rec_action: ask log: quiet: no # enable with command line option quiet_fallback: skip default_action: apply singletons: no languages: [] detail: no flat: no # use the release-date of the original (first) release of an album? original_date: yes # on multi-disk releases, assign track numbers for the whole album. # If "per disk", make sure tracknames do not collide ("paths" setting). per_disc_numbering: no # files matching these patterns are deleted from source after import clutter: ["Thumbs.DB", ".DS_Store", "*.m3u", ".pls", "*.jpg"] # files/directories matching one of these patterns are ignored during import ignore: [".*", "*~", "System Volume Information"] # Paths ---------------------------------------------------------------------- # Paths and filenames for music files # relative to music directory paths: default: $albumartist - $year - $album/$albumartist - $track - $title singleton: Non-Album/$artist - $title comp: $album ($year)/$track - $artist - $title # replace special characters in generated filenames replace: '[\\/]': _ '^\.': _ '[\x00-\x1f]': _ '[<>:"\?\*\|]': _ '\.$': _ '\s+$': '' path_sep_replace: _ # filename for the album art art_filename: cover # results in "cover.jpg" max_filename_length: 0 # unlimited # General -------------------------------------------------------------------- # use mutliple threads during import threaded: yes timeout: 5.0 verbose: no # User Interface ------------------------------------------------------------- color: yes list_format_item: %upper{$artist} - $album - $track. $title list_format_album: %upper{$albumartist} - $album time_format: '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S' terminal_encoding: utf8 ui: terminal_width: 80 length_diff_thresh: 10.0 # Auto Tagger ---------------------------------------------------------------- match: strong_rec_thresh: 0.1 # match 90% or better for auto import medium_rec_thresh: 0.25 rec_gap_thresh: 0.25 max_rec: missing_tracks: medium unmatched_tracks: medium distance_weights: source: 2.0 artist: 3.0 album: 3.0 media: 1.0 mediums: 1.0 year: 1.0 country: 0.5 label: 0.5 catalognum: 0.5 albumdisambig: 0.5 album_id: 5.0 tracks: 2.0 missing_tracks: 0.9 unmatched_tracks: 0.6 track_title: 3.0 track_artist: 2.0 track_index: 1.0 track_length: 2.0 track_id: 5.0 preferred: countries: [] media: [] original_year: no ignored: [] track_length_grace: 10 track_length_max: 30 Save it in $HOME/.config/beets/config.yaml
