Add a configuration section that lists all options for each plugin.
List options in alphabetic order.
Mention the default value for each option.
Use same sentences to describe concepts common to different plugins eg 'auto
option, install description
When set to true, this config option chooses copying over converting when the
source file is in a lossy format. At the moment, everything except ape, flac,
alac and wav is considered lossy.
These config options make it easier to customize the command (no need to make
a single-element formats dict). And the opt config option provides backwards
compatibility with the previous style.
The format key is now the (lower-cased) format name string used by beets,
which means we can precisely detect which transcodes would be unnecessary. To
facilitate this, I added an ALIASES dict which allows more convenient names to
work for this (e.g., "wma" is easier to remember than "windows media").
The major functional change here is how files move around when in keep_new
mode. Now, files are first moved to the destination directory and then
copied/transcoded back into the library.
This avoids problems where naming conflicts could occur when transcoding from
MP3 to MP3 (and thus not changing the filename).
@yagebu: I did a code review of the new version of convert using FFmpeg as a
backend. Everything looks perfect. These are just a few changes to the docs.
Thanks again!
Instead of flac and lame the convert plugin now uses ffmpeg. This adds
support for more input formats and simplifies the code. ffmpeg also uses
the lame encoder internally and has equivalents of all the -V<num>
presets which should be sufficient.
