Skipping songs after they are moved from the output folder... #202

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

Description of the issue:

Preferences are set to skip existing songs. However, I periodically want to
move the songs to an external usb drive, for two reasons: 
(1) the output folder resides on my internal harddrive. This provides me
with a faster and more stable recording environment than an external drive.
However, I do not want fill up this internal harddrive with music (that is
why I have an external USB drive in the first place)...
(2) I would like to import & integrate the saved songs into itunes, where I
create an itunes copy. In other words, I want to delete the originally
ripped songs once I import and copy them into itunes, but I still want to
prevent titles I already ripped from being ripped again.

HOW DO I ACCOMPLISH THAT...?

I envision a couple of solutions, but they might be far-fetched:
(1) Automate the skip list/the exclude file. How would that work?
(2) Create a fake tree... Let last ripper think that the songs are in the
output folder, while in fact, all that is left in there is the album folder
and, for instance, an empty mp3 with the name of the actual song, but
without the song... (e.g. an empty txt file with an mp3 extension; the name
of the txt/mp3 file would be the name as it was originally ripped by last
ripper...)
