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
:ref:`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).
- **m3u_session**: Create a new playlist for each import session. The file
is named as ``m3u_name`` appending the date and time the import session
was started.
- **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 and as a prefix used by
the ``m3u_session`` 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
