The 2026-07-08 path rewrite changed beets' displayed paths from the
transitional /music/... mount to real /data/music/Library/... paths.
dedup-library.sh was fixed in 0.6.8; three more scripts still assumed
the old prefix, each failing silently:
- replace-with-better.sh resolved every library match to a doubled
nonexistent path, logged [stale-db], skipped the in-place replace,
and then imported the staged FLAC as a NEW track via the
leftover-import step. Net effect: the mp3-to-flac upgrade flow
produced flac+mp3 twin pairs in the library (surfacing in the dedup
queue) instead of replacing the MP3 in place.
- fix-track-metadata.py queried beets only by the legacy /music/...
form, matched nothing, and silently skipped beet update/move after
retagging.
- export-laptop-playlists.py filtered out every library track (no
displayed path starts with /music/ anymore), producing empty
exports.
All three now use the real displayed path and keep the /music/... form
only as a legacy fallback.
