1ImportFeeds Plugin 2================== 3 4This plugin helps you keep track of newly imported music in your library. 5 6To use the ``importfeeds`` plugin, enable it in your configuration 7(see :ref:`using-plugins`). 8 9Configuration 10------------- 11 12To configure the plugin, make an ``importfeeds:`` section in your 13configuration file. The available options are: 14 15- **absolute_path**: Use absolute paths instead of relative paths. Some 16 applications may need this to work properly. 17 Default: ``no``. 18- **dir**: The output directory. 19 Default: Your beets library directory. 20- **formats**: Select the kind of output. Use one or more of: 21 22 - **m3u**: Catalog the imports in a centralized playlist. 23 - **m3u_multi**: Create a new playlist for each import (uniquely named by 24 appending the date and track/album name). 25 - **link**: Create a symlink for each imported item. This is the 26 recommended setting to propagate beets imports to your iTunes library: 27 just drag and drop the ``dir`` folder on the iTunes dock icon. 28 - **echo**: Do not write a playlist file at all, but echo a list of new 29 file paths to the terminal. 30 31 Default: None. 32- **m3u_name**: Playlist name used by the ``m3u`` format. 33 Default: ``imported.m3u``. 34- **relative_to**: Make the m3u paths relative to another 35 folder than where the playlist is being written. If you're using importfeeds 36 to generate a playlist for MPD, you should set this to the root of your music 37 library. 38 Default: None. 39 40Here's an example configuration for this plugin:: 41 42 importfeeds: 43 formats: m3u link 44 dir: ~/imports/ 45 relative_to: ~/Music/ 46 m3u_name: newfiles.m3u 47
