ImportFeeds Plugin
|
|
==================
|
|
|
|
The ``importfeeds`` plugin helps you keep track of newly imported music in your library.
|
|
|
|
To use the plugin, just put ``importfeeds`` on the ``plugins`` line in your
|
|
:doc:`configuration file </reference/config>`. Then set a few options under the
|
|
``importfeeds:`` section in the config file.
|
|
|
|
The ``dir`` configuration option can be set to specify another folder
|
|
than the default library directory.
|
|
|
|
The ``relative_to`` configuration 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.
|
|
|
|
Three different types of outputs coexist, specify the ones you want to use by
|
|
setting the ``formats`` parameter:
|
|
|
|
- ``m3u``: catalog the imports in a centralized playlist. By default, the playlist is named ``imported.m3u``. To use a different file, just set the ``m3u_name`` parameter inside the ``importfeeds`` config section.
|
|
- ``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.
|
|
|
|
Here's an example configuration for this plugin::
|
|
|
|
importfeeds:
|
|
formats: m3u link
|
|
dir: ~/imports/
|
|
relative_to: ~/Music/
|
|
m3u_name: newfiles.m3u
