Great to hear from you.\r\n\r\nThat is indeed the right role for `convert`. In fact, #1620 proposes to do pretty much exactly that: to disable transcoding, but do everything else that plugin does.\r\n\r\nAnd that looks about right to me. You can always test path formats with `ls -f`, i.e.:\r\n\r\n```\r\nbeet ls -f '$title - $artist %if{%aunique{title artist, album},, - $album}'\r\n```"}}
