Hello! An important insight here is that beets has its own internal names for tags. These map onto the various tag names in different file formats, so they do not necessarily match the names in Vorbis Comments specifically.
You can see a list of fields beets supports by typing beet fields
. I think the tag you want is called artist_sort
.
My mistake ! After trying different solutions, it appears that the sorting issue was simply a bug in the version of VLC for Android I was using. I will close this issue in a minute. Thank you for the quick reply (I'm several orders of magnitude slower than you here)!
Problem
I cannot modify the albumsort tag on my songs. Whether I write it albumsort or ALBUMSORT, beet will ask if I want to modify the tag, however the old value is not the one seen by ffprobe. After that, the ALBUMSORT tag as seen by ffprobe is unchanged. However something did change because if I run beet modify again, nothing happens.
Setup
My configuration (output of
beet config
) is:EDIT: I can independently edit the ARTISTSORT and the artistsort tag (set them to two different values), they both had the value "Etienne de Crécy", but modifications don't show up in ffprobe.
