There isn't any song metadata as such on a CD, so beets uses musicbrainz as a data source. You sometimes have to get your hands dirty and manage it properly, especially for more esoteric CDs like you just bought. Or maybe you're lucky :-) I find for popular CDs (like what my kids buy in music stores), that k3b does a fine job of getting metadata when ripping - it looks the CD up on CDDB. To do the job properly, and fully manage all the metadata, nothing comes close to beets. It's also a cli python app which will go down well around here, none of that "point mith a mouse and click" nonsense :-) -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckinnon@gmail.com
