Thanks for the quick reply Adrian, it works great thanks!

Is there a way to use *only *artist and track data to find the first 
release of an album?

For instance, with 
beet import -l -s -i  /media/alarazr/External/Music/CAKE/


I get

Enter search, enter Id, aBort?

46% match seems incredible. Ideally, I'd like it to find the track from the 
album Comfort Eagle and tag appropriately.

I don't really care much for *where *the track came from, as long as I have 
album/year/genre data.

Also do you take donations for your work? I don't donate to many projects 
but this one calls for some love!
