OK, a few options come to mind in that case: 1. Import everything without renaming (i.e., with `move` and `copy` turned off), since you say that the names are already correct. 2. Import with `move` enabled, and configure beets to match your current directory structure. Unless some artist or album name is wrong, the directory names won’t change. 3. Look into the third-party `copyartifacts` plugin, which can bring along those extra files into a new directory. 4. Engage in a little bit of arcane hackery with the `inline` plugin to preserve the current directory names.
