I have played a couple of hours with beet and it is a very handy tool for music collections.

How do you configure beets to create path/filenames without spaces but underscores?

add

replace:
'/s': _

to beets' config file

Hmm,  "aptitude show beets" was interesting, but I see beets is only in stable and sid.  I thought I would try it out in testing first. 


My question is how and how recently did you install beets?  A simulation of apt-get install seemed like it would work, python 2.6 and all -   but these are interesting times.  I will install the mouldy stable package on a Jessie - stable system, and see if it is worthwhile for me.  Thanks

Unfortunately, beets was removed from testing last Sunday: https://tracker.debian.org/news/703356

I just installed it in sid and it works (paxmark2, if you're worried about these interesting times, I'd say you're good as long as nothing gets removed and not replaced with newer version), but I don't know if it will ever get updated through the package system ever again. But then, one can also install it with pip (pip install beets), as it suggests on it's website.

@se7en, thanks for the tip!

Yesterday, and no problems. It's siduction here, not stretchuction or testuction.

The only drawback, you can't use the plugin to fingerprint audio files due to a currently not installable library.
