Can you remove the album in question? We should avoid empty albums, but sometimes things do go wrong (usually due to aborted import sessions). Shouldn't happen again.

[hrehfeld]

The problem is that I don't know which album it is. I'm doing a full re-import, and I didn't see the name printed.

[sampsyo]

Agh, that's a drag. Does verbose mode help?

[nedson]

I have also had that error. Is it caused by a directory with no files? I looked at the offending album and see that it does contain two songs (it is a single).

When aborting an import I have been deleting the database file. Are there other files I should delete before running another import?

[sampsyo]

No, it's not caused by empty directories. And no, you should not need to delete anything else. In fact, you should not need to delete the database file; that would be considered a bug. :cry:

[sampsyo]

I'll need to close this ticket for now since we're having trouble reproducing it. Please do reopen it if you have any other information that can help us reproduce it.

I've came across the same bug with beets version 1.4.3 while importing a big collection. Unfortunately, there was no empty directory/file recursively. I had to remove the fetchart plugin to make the import work properly.

[sampsyo]

Hi! Can you help us reproduce the bug with full details?

[lbesnard]

definitely. I'll try debug it a bit more early next week
