When staging files are organized as Artist/Albums/AlbumFolder or
Artist/AlbumFolder, the auto-import now uses the parent folder name
as the artist instead of trusting embedded file tags.
Uses relative path from staging root to determine folder depth, so
albums directly in staging root don't accidentally pick up container
paths as artist names. Common category subfolder names (Albums,
Singles, EPs, Mixtapes, etc.) are recognized and skipped.
Fixes mixtapes and compilations where file tags have DJ names or
incorrect artists (e.g. files tagged as "Slim" in a 2Pac folder).
Files with embedded tags (artist+title from post-processing) were
failing import because the metadata search scored low (66%) and the
AcoustID result returned before the tag-preference code could run.
- Tag-based identification now returns 85% confidence when embedded
tags have an artist field, borrowing album art from weak metadata
- AcoustID search result only accepted at 80%+ confidence, otherwise
kept as fallback (doesn't short-circuit past tag preference)
- AcoustID None artist/title falls back to tag data via 'or' operator
- Stop retrying failed/unidentified items every scan cycle
Items with status needs_identification, failed, or rejected were not
in the skip list, causing them to be re-scanned and re-logged every
60 seconds indefinitely. Now skips all terminal statuses.
Race condition: scanner re-scanned folders while post-processing was
still moving files, causing partial matches and ghost failures. Now
tracks in-progress paths and skips them on subsequent scans.
Coverage penalty fix: individual tracks that match at 80%+ confidence
now auto-import even when overall album coverage is low (e.g. 2 of 18
tracks present). Previously low coverage killed the entire import.
Import page: stats bar, filter pills, Scan Now, Approve All, Clear
History (clears imported + failed), live scan progress.
- Track numbers defaulted to 1 instead of using metadata source values
- Release dates not captured, causing missing year in path templates
- Cover art missing for Deezer (direct image_url not checked)
- Track names in expanded view showed Unknown (wrong JSON field name)
- Read year/date from embedded file tags as fallback
- Add Deezer get_album_metadata/get_album_tracks fallbacks
- Handle Deezer tracks.data response format
Loose audio files in the staging root are now picked up alongside album
folders. Singles are identified via embedded tags, filename parsing
(Artist - Title.ext), or AcoustID fingerprinting, then matched against
the configured metadata source. Confidence-gated processing applies
the same way as album folders (90%+ auto, 70-90% review, <70% manual).
Full auto-import pipeline: background worker watches the staging folder,
identifies music using embedded tags → folder name parsing → AcoustID
fingerprinting, matches files to metadata source tracklists, and
processes high-confidence matches through the existing post-processing
pipeline automatically.
Worker: AutoImportWorker with start/stop/pause/resume, configurable
scan interval (default 60s), confidence threshold (default 90%), and
auto-process toggle. Processes one folder per cycle, alphabetical
order. Disc folder detection, stability checking, content hash dedup.
Confidence gate: 90%+ auto-processes silently, 70-90% queued as
pending review with approve/dismiss actions, <70% flagged for manual
identification. Track matching uses weighted algorithm (title 45%,
artist 15%, track number 30%, album tag 10%).
Database: auto_import_history table tracks every scan result with
folder hash, match data JSON, confidence, status, timestamps.
API: 7 endpoints — status, toggle, settings (GET/POST), results
(filtered/paginated), approve, reject.
UI: Auto tab on Import page with enable toggle, confidence slider,
scan interval selector. Live result cards with album art, confidence
bar (green/yellow/red), status badges, match stats. 5-second polling.
