FAQ

What happens when the connection to the server gets lost?

When the server loses connection to the network it currently crashes (known bug). In case the client loses connection, the import process will continue on the server (at least until input is required). When the client reconnects and the tab is still open, it will show all output that it has missed and you can resume the import process by sending input, if necessary.

What happens if I just close the tab on the client during an import?

beets will continue the import, until import is required. The import process will get killed after some time, also the files will get deleted.
