Description

### Problem

Running this command in verbose (`-vv`) mode:

```sh
$ beet -vv import .
user configuration: /home/shorty/.config/beets/config.yaml
data directory: /home/shorty/.config/beets
plugin paths:
fetchart: google: Disabling art source due to missing key
fetchart: lastfm: Disabling art source due to missing key
fetchart: To use Spotify as an album art source, you must install the beautifulsoup4 module. See the documentation for further details.

No files imported from /home/shorty/Audio/Records/To Import/tmp
```

Led to this problem:

I split a record I recorded using Tenacity (Audacity fork). Followed this guide: https://support.audacityteam.org/audio-editing/splitting-a-recording-into-separate-tracks

Here's a link to the music files that trigger the bug (if relevant):
