How to add JSON Metadata found by a query?

As the title says, I'm wondering how to add json metadata I got from a beetcamp query to a file in beets.

Thanks and Cheers!

Do you have an example of what sort of data would you be interested in?

Hi, sorry for the late reply. For some of my music files beets couldn't find a match, so I manually downloaded metadata from bandcamp using a beetcamp query with the link to the bandcamp release. however I not sure how to add the metadata to the music file in beets.

I see. It's not ideal that beets does not find your music - though will be easier to solve than figuring out how to reliably attach metadata to your music.

In those cases where beets did not find a match, have you tried pressing I (enter Id) and providing URL to the release?

It is great to be able to find the metadata by entering a url. It seems I can only enter a Music Brainz Id in Id, can't I?
Which for a singleton recording I coundnt find.
That's why I wanted to add it manually after I downloaded it using your benacamp specific method.

Thank you for your help!

You can use a bandcamp URL here too!
