Hello,

Sorry it took me so long to produce a traceback but, as always, after posting 
the issue the program worked with no problems.  I recently came back to it to 
run another scan and the problem came back.  This time i did get the traceback 
info.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/beet", line 9, in <module>
    load_entry_point('beets==1.1.0-beta.3', 'console_scripts', 'beet')()

Hope it helps.

Thanks,
Chris.

Thanks for following up! The problem actually exists in the pyacoustid library 
(which powers the Chromaprint/Acoustid beets plugin) rather than beets itself.

Do you know whether you are using the "fpcalc" command-line tool or the 
Chromaprint library to do fingerprinting?

I seem to have both installed but I think I'm using Chromaprint.  I have 
"chroma" listed as a plugin anyway.

Thanks. I'll dig into how this could be happening.

The bug is actually in the audioread library. See this issue on GitHub:

Thanks for the link.

Hmmm, no fix so far... but it is only 6 hours old!  

Is there anything you could suggest to get around the problem?  I guess i could 
turn the chroma functionality off but i think its a really cool feature.  Is 
there an alternative i could use?  Or hang on for a fix?

Thanks for your help.

Yes, turning off chroma will work -- and I think you'll be surprised at how 
accurate (and fast!) beets' metadata-based matcher can be.

I think you should also be able to get around this by uninstalling the 
Chromaprint library and instead letting beets fall back on the fpcalc utility 
that serves the same purpose.

OK, so I think I managed to uninstall chromaprint and followed the instructions 
on the beets site to use fpcalc (download the static binary, move it to 
/usr/local/bin, install a bunch of gstreamer stuff...).  

I'm then got an error about Permissions on fpcalc but I made it executable and 
now it doesn't seem to be having any problems.

I started another import and its smooth sailing so far!
Thanks for your help.

I may have spoken too soon.

Now I'm getting lots of "[mp3 @ 0xa3c39a0] Header missing" and "incomplete 
frame" warnings.  They don't look good, judging by the red font.

Have I not installed fpcalc correctly?

[GoogleCodeExporter]

No, you have it installed right. Those error messages are coming from fpcalc 
when FFmpeg detects problems in the files it's trying to read.

More recent versions of pyacoustid silence this output. You can upgrade with 
"pip install -U pyacoustid".

Excellent.  "pip install -U pyacoutid" worked fine and beets is working as it 
should.

Unfortunately Im now getting "bus error" after a few minutes but, correct me if 
im wrong, that is a much bigger problem, possibly a hard drive issue.  Not good 
:(

Thanks for helping me sort beets out.
Cheers.
