I'm pretty sure this is because MusicBrainz has the artist ID for a-ha as not a regular dash between the a and the ha.
According to MusicBrainz: https://musicbrainz.org/ws/2/release/181b9a01-0446-4601-99be-b011ab615631?inc=aliases%2Bartist-credits%2Bdiscids%2Blabels%2Brecordings 000001f0: 6234 3461 6430 6431 3938 3937 223e 3c6e b44ad0d19897"><n 00000200: 616d 653e 61e2 8090 6861 3c2f 6e61 6d65 ame>a...ha</name 00000210: 3e3c 736f 7274 2d6e 616d 653e 61e2 8090 ><sort-name>a... 00000220: 6861 3c2f 736f 7274 2d6e 616d 653e 3c61 ha</sort-name><a "a-ha" is 0x61e2 8090 6861 So "find" handles this perfectly because you are not specifying the offending dash, but "ls" has a little more trouble, because you are and what you are supplying is not the same. Similarly, "beets" is not matching what I guess to be an em-dash either. -Michael On Thu, Apr 12, 2018 at 7:14 PM, Bearcat Şándor <[email protected]> wrote: > That was my first thought too, however this has been my main audio/beets > library drive for a year now and the band "a-ha" is the *only* one affected > out of 1,651 artists.
