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:`/reference/config`::
[beets]
plugins: importfeeds
The ``feeds_dir`` parameter can be set to specify another folder than the default library directory.
Three different types of outputs coexist, specify the ones you want to use by setting the ``feeds_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 ``feeds_dir`` folder on the iTunes dock icon.
An example of ``importfeeds`` configuration::
[importfeeds]
feeds_formats: m3u link
feeds_dir: ~/imports/
m3u_name: newfiles.m3u
