Setup
- OS: NixOS 25.05
- Python version: 3.12.11
- beets version: 2.3.1
- Turning off plugins made problem go away (yes/no): N/A
No other real ideas about what could be causing the error but the lyrics are never saved to the file, only the database. Already checked file permissions which have caused errors like this previously but nothing amiss there.
Mostly I find it frustrating that I have absolutely no information with which to diagnose the problem. Seeing "ReadError object" anywhere in a non-verbose output (in which it does show up) is a bit off-putting in general.
My configuration (output of beet config) is:
