+===== Custom Compilation Workflow =====
+  * beet import folder and Use as-is. Beets detects this is a “Various Artists” Compilation and stores this information in the database, but does not write the information to the files.
+  * beet write writes “Various Artists” to the files and the album/compilation name of the first track and actually sets the comp flag to True
+  * beet modify -a album="Compilation_name"  various artists album_name updates the compilation name

 After a few moments, try re-tagging the album with beets. If everything worked properly, beets should find the release you contributed and finish tagging it. Repeat this process for any albums you wish to add to MusicBrainz.
