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 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).
- 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. 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
