I’m loving Beets. I have my config copying files to new directory and leaving the original in pace as a backup The only downside is I manually have to copy over my log, cue, m3u, and cover. Is there a plugin that will move these items into new folder? Thanks.

I believe the standard answer is the third-party extrafiles plugin:

> A plugin for beets that copies additional files and directories during the import process. - Holzhaus/beets-extrafiles

Just had to follow up. What a cool plugin. You can actually tell it what to do with different file types and you can automate naming the files. So you can rename files based on extension and use a variable like $album to name it.
