Please help, newbie, had it running, but halfway through it keeps stopping

[EchoShauf]

I keep getting "Error: The specified path is invalid while creating \00.mp3", but this happens in the middle of it already working, I got it to import files but somehow it keeps stopping, and I cant find anything that is labeled or close to 00.mp3 or anything that has a file name of that. I have a lot of music that are unsorted, and I just want to have them be imported and sorted by artist, album, title

Edit: another error keeps coming up, "Error: The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect while creating C:\Users\Jericho\AppData\Roaming\beets\‪D:"<!--

Exact debug log when that happens would be interesting. It looks to me that maybe some metadata can't be found / is missing / a track gets named \00 and that is illegal characters on windows. You have to find out which track exactly causes this and maybe a quickfix is to manually "pre-tag" it, delete it, move it away from beets and handle later. something like this....HTH

Is there a way I can view what track is it? I have 21K songs and if I try different albums instead of the whole library, it still does it. for example, if its music\assorted\album 1, it does the same, if its music\assorted\album 2 it would still give me the same error.

does beets keep a log of what happened?

[EchoShauf]

somehow its doing double for the database directory when creating the library.
