Hi! I don’t completely understand the problem—is it that the `artist_sort` field is missing? Or that `artist` is equal to `artist_sort`?
A couple of ideas might help: - The `beet modify` command can always make manual changes. - You might try the `mbsync` plugin to re-download canonical metadata from MusicBrainz. > On Jul 4, 2016, at 10:47 AM, Andres C. <[email protected]> wrote: > > I've always ran beets on Linux and kept my music on an external hard drive. > However I had to move to Windows a couple of weeks ago, I installed beets but > it was giving me a lot of trouble with paths so I decided to go back to the > tool I used years before beets on Windows, CATraxx, a discontinued music > collection manager.
