ImportFeeds Plugin
==================
The ``importfeeds`` plugin helps you keep track of newly imported music in your
library.
To use the plugin, enable it in your configuration (see :ref:`using-plugins`).
Configuration
-------------
Available options :
- ``absolute_path`` option can be set to use absolute paths instead of relative
paths. Some applications may need this to work properly.
Default: ``no``.
- ``dir`` option can be set to specify another output folder than the default
library directory.
Default: ``None``.
- ``formats`` option can be set to select desired output type(s):
- ``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).
- ``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: ``[]``.
- ``m3u_name``: playlist name used by ``m3u`` format.
Default: ``imported.m3u``.
- ``relative_to`` option can be set 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
