Hi Johan,
your config seems like what i'm looking for, but i have an strange error
here.
-----------
config.yaml
directory: /run/media/daniel/Music/
library: ~/Music/musiclibrary.blb
paths:
default:
%asciify{%lower{$path_genre}}/%asciify{%lower{$path_letter}}/%asciify{%lower{$albumartist_sort}}/${path_year}-%asciify{%lower{$album}}/${track}-%asciify{%lower{$title}}
comp:
%asciify{%lower{$path_genre}}/v/various_artists/%asciify{%lower{$albumartist_sort}}/${path_year}-%asciify{%lower{$album}}/${track}-%asciify{%lower{$title}}
singleton:
%asciify{%lower{$path_genre}}/%asciify{%lower{$path_letter}}/%asciify{%lower{$albumartist_sort}}/non-album/${track}-%asciify{%lower{$title}}
-----------------------------
doing an "beets import /media/music/tbs/The Main Drag"
leads to
/run/media/daniel/Music/$path_genre/$path_letter/main drag,
the/${path_year}-yours as fast as mine/track-title
wich is…almost good ;)
do you know what i'm missing?
Thanks for your advices.
