Version: 1.0~b14-2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,
*** Please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

I can't figure out what is special about these mp3 files, except that they 
have only id3v1 tags.

zancas:~ % beet ls -f'$album $genre' album:'turn off your name' | uniq
turn off your name 
zancas:~ % beet modify  album:'turn off your name' genre=Rock

zancas:~ % beet ls -f'$album $genre' album:'turn off your name' | uniq
