Beets uses the tracks metadata to determine matches. If your tracks dont have any metadata it is not surprising that we cant find any matches.

In those cases you can try running the fromtitle plugin.

Have a look at the debug output (running with the -v tag). It should tell you the search query for the musicbrainz plugin.

Wouldnt this be the metadata?

Running with -v tag did show i was missing the musicbrainz pluggin

So all worked now

thanks Semohr

Indeed :D Was missing that the musicbrainz plugin was not enabled.
