ImportFeeds Plugin
==================

This plugin helps you keep track of newly imported music in your library.

To use the ``importfeeds`` plugin, enable it in your configuration (see
:ref:`using-plugins`).

Configuration
-------------

To configure the plugin, make an ``importfeeds:`` section in your configuration
file. The available options are:

- **absolute_path**: Use absolute paths instead of relative paths. Some
  applications may need this to work properly. Default: ``no``.
- **dir**: The output directory. Default: Your beets library directory.
- **formats**: Select the kind of output. Use one or more of:

      - **m3u**: Catalog the imports in a centralized playlist.
      - **m3u_multi**: Create a new playlist for each import (uniquely named by
        appending the date and track/album name).
      - **m3u_session**: Create a new playlist for each import session. The file
        is named as ``m3u_name`` appending the date and time the import session
        was started.
      - **link**: Create a symlink for each imported item. This is the
        recommended setting to propagate beets imports to your iTunes library:
        just drag and drop the ``dir`` folder on the iTunes dock icon.
      - **echo**: Do not write a playlist file at all, but echo a list of new
        file paths to the terminal.

  Default: None.

- **m3u_name**: Playlist name used by the ``m3u`` format and as a prefix used by
  the ``m3u_session`` format. Default: ``imported.m3u``.
- **relative_to**: Make the m3u paths relative to another folder than where the
  playlist is being written. If you're using importfeeds to generate a playlist
  for MPD, you should set this to the root of your music library. Default: None.

Here's an example configuration for this plugin:

::

    importfeeds:
        formats: m3u link
        dir: ~/imports/
        relative_to: ~/Music/
        m3u_name: newfiles.m3u
