link and move?

[three80]

Would be possible to have a switch when importing albums to have it move the music to final spot and also link it? I can only seeing this working while importing one album at a time and not a library.

Example: I'm currently in charge of taking care of my mother, and she likes her music, and I like mine, but sometimes (rarely) we like both. She has her xbmc that pulls from one place, I have mine that pulls from another. So to separate them

do an import with l or L:
beet import -L /music/Beatles/

this would then both move the Beatles to main library folder and symlink to her folder as set by the .config

beet imp -L /music/Beatles/

ends up with

/../../music/Rock/Beatles

and

(symlinks) /../../music/mother/Beatles

l and L = link just for simple explaination.

Good suggestion. I think this an instance of the "symlink views" idea in #408. Can you add some thoughts there if you think the ground isn't fully covered?
