Outdated solution note ยท beetbox/beets

beetbox beets lastgenre plugin genres-tree.yaml Various Artists genre classification

Older notes for beetbox__beets-5682 can help with context, but they do not fully cover the current failure mode.

Why the common answers are incomplete

beets lastgenre classification can mis-handle Various Artists albums against genres-tree.yaml.

Treat Various Artists/compilation albumartist values explicitly and choose track or album genre evidence according to lastgenre rules.

This issue is about lastgenre and genres-tree.yaml, so the fix should preserve tree lookup while correcting compilation classification.
