 ====== Unicode in Tag Patch ======
+NOTE: use import-replace plugin instead!
 MusicBrainz uses unicode characters for apostrophes, dashes etc rather than ascii versions. A beets plugin for filenames (asciify) solves some issues with this, but tags are unaffected. This patch for v1.5.0/v1.6.0 on python 3.8 solves this for imports:

 ====== importreplace ======
-A plugin for beets to perform regex replacements during import.
+A plugin for beets to perform regex replacements during import, particularly useful to replace unicode apostrophes, double quotes, single quotes and hyphens/en dash from musicbrainz db with ascii equivalents.
 https://github.com/edgars-supe/beets-importreplace
+Installation:
+<code>
+pip install git+https://github.com/edgars-supe/beets-importreplace.git
+</code>
+add config and add importreplace to plugins config string:
+<code>
+#replace unicode apostrophes from mb with ascii version in tags
+importreplace:
+  replacements:
+    - item_fields: title artist artist_sort artist_credit
+      album_fields: album artist artist_sort artist_credit
+      replace:
+        '[\u2018-\u201B]': ''''
+        '[\u201C-\u201F]': '"'
+        '[\u2010-\u2015]': '-'
+</code>
+As this plugin works for import only, use the following to retag/reimport after installation, make sure to copy&paste as the below uses the unicode characters:
+<code>
+#for albums:
+beet import -L ":[’”‐–—]"
+#for singletons:
+beet import -L -s ":[’”‐–—]"
+</code>
