- New features:
7
+ This new release includes lots of new features in the importer and the
8
+ metadata source backends that it uses.
9
+ We've changed how the beets importer handles non-audio tracks listed in
10
+ metadata sources like MusicBrainz:
11
+
12
+ * The importer now ignores non-audio tracks (namely, data and video tracks)
13
+ listed in MusicBrainz. Also, a new option, :ref: `ignore_video_tracks `, lets
14
+ you return to the old behavior and include these video tracks.
15
+ :bug: `1210 `
16
+ * A new importer option, :ref: `ignored_media `, can let you skip certain media
17
+ formats.
