Given that @frigginbrownie's #5556 PR received some thumb ups but they haven't responded since a while ago, I'm creating this PR to merge their fix (I could not commit in the PR branch since I have no permissions to push to their fork). Supersedes: #5556 Copying @frigginbrownie description from #5556: According to the docs, the auto_keep function will "Convert your files automatically on import to dest but import the non transcoded version." This is true but not 100% accurate. In cases where no conversion is required (say, importing lossy files where there's no need to convert), auto_keep will copy the files to dest. This behavior results in duplicate files being created on import when the auto_keep function is set to yes - a lossy file will be imported into the default directory (say /music) and then copied to the dest location (say /transcodes). This is ideal if you wish to have all music formats in your default directory (lossy and lossless) and all lossy files (original imports and transcodes) in a secondary directory (say /lossy). But what if you want a separate directory of all music you've transcoded? auto_keep won't provide that, as it copies lossy files to the dest location. In addition, if the dest is set to the same location as default directory, auto_keep will copy lossy files into the same directory that beets previously imported files into, resulting in the directory having two files for each file in an album. If you use paths (say to have singletons imported into /music/singles), auto_keep will import the file into the path location, then copy the file to the dest, creating directories to match the path. Unlike with the auto option or using "beet convert", auto_keep does not follow the never_convert_lossy_files or no_convert options and will not validate whether files need to be converted or copied on import to dest - it transcodes or it copies, no questions asked. This change updates the auto_convert_keep function to filter items using should_transcode. This way, if the user sets never_convert_lossy_files to no or no_convert: 'format:mp3', lossy files will not be copied to the dest, while lossless files will be converted to the dest (perfect for a seperate /transcodes directory). If the user sets never_convert_lossy_files to yes, lossy files will to be copied to the dest and lossless files will be converted to the dest (perfect for a /lossy directory). In turn, this change makes behavior consistent with "beet convert" and the auto option. |

beets
=====
Beets is the media library management system for obsessive music geeks.
The purpose of beets is to get your music collection right once and for all. It
catalogs your collection, automatically improving its metadata as it goes. It
then provides a suite of tools for manipulating and accessing your music.
Here's an example of beets' brainy tag corrector doing its thing:
::
$ beet import ~/music/ladytron
Tagging:
Ladytron - Witching Hour
(Similarity: 98.4%)
* Last One Standing -> The Last One Standing
* Beauty -> Beauty*2
* White Light Generation -> Whitelightgenerator
* All the Way -> All the Way...
Because beets is designed as a library, it can do almost anything you can
imagine for your music collection. Via plugins_, beets becomes a panacea:
- Fetch or calculate all the metadata you could possibly need: `album art`_,
lyrics_, genres_, tempos_, ReplayGain_ levels, or `acoustic fingerprints`_.
- Get metadata from MusicBrainz_, Discogs_, and Beatport_. Or guess metadata
using songs' filenames or their acoustic fingerprints.
- `Transcode audio`_ to any format you like.
- Check your library for `duplicate tracks and albums`_ or for `albums that are
missing tracks`_.
- Clean up crufty tags left behind by other, less-awesome tools.
- Embed and extract album art from files' metadata.
- Browse your music library graphically through a Web browser and play it in any
browser that supports `HTML5 Audio`_.
- Analyze music files' metadata from the command line.
- Listen to your library with a music player that speaks the MPD_ protocol and
works with a staggering variety of interfaces.
If beets doesn't do what you want yet, `writing your own plugin`_ is shockingly
simple if you know a little Python.
