The ls shows a list of tracks that have missing metadata; why is that, how are they imported ? What does beet ls -f $path show?

You have a certain expectation of duplicates, but you don't state what that is. You don't show what the current behavior is, nor do you state what it does (not). If I'm not mistaken, you have it configured in a way that it just won't work. You emptied the keys: option, which disables it's default behavior. All other options also disables it's functionality (except for tag:, which is set to an incorrect syntax). Also, the duplicates plugin has to be triggered manually.

beet import name_of_file

You have a certain expectation of duplicates, but you don't state what that is. You don't show what the current behavior is,

current behavior is no output as shown below

$ beet duplicates

nor do you state what it does (not).

I want it to remove those duplicates.

If I'm not mistaken, you have it configured in a way that it just won't work. You emptied the keys: option, which disables it's default behavior. All other options also disables it's functionality (except for tag:, which is set to an incorrect syntax). Also, the duplicates plugin has to be triggered manually.

this is my config.yaml

You wrote that you've imported these files with beet import, but in your config you have autotag set to no. Which means that beets have imported these files with the metadata that existed in the files prior to the import. Your original post shows that there are no artist, title and album tags available and I suspect that mb_trackid and mb_albumid are also missing. Those two are the default tags which beets uses to find duplicates.

I suggest to start from scratch, get the files properly tagged/imported and than you can find duplicates if there are any.
