I wonder if it was possible to have selective file type scan (by one or more file extensions would be perfect) in configuration, maybe in the .env file. Thanks!

I think this is an edge case. 99% of the time you want all music files in a music folder to be scannable by a music application, don't you?

Now that I better think about it, my specific scenario is that I have duplicates of some songs in the same folder, with .flac and .mp3 files. I'd like to exclude those dups and only have the mp3s (less network traffic required). So the feature I requested is somewhat larger, like "exclude all flac files from scanning", which I actually don't want.
So I'd like to implement this other feature myself, would you accept a PR? A brief description would be: "eliminate dups within a folder with same name but different extension and prefer the copy with (put extension here) extension"

I don't think so. Again, this is an edge case and most likely Koel won't
support it.

Ok, thanks. I'll see what else I can do about it.
