# Basic Preferences

Permute has a lot of different options split into several categories:

## General

General preferences contain options to:

- switch between icon and list mode
- select DVD format
- select conversion destination
- setup default subtitles encoding
- additional settings about general behavior of the app

## Workshop

You can enable and disable Permute’s Workshop modules here. Please see help for Permute’s Workshop for more information.

## iTunes

Permute includes iTunes integration that allows you to automatically add converted files into iTunes. You can set up the media kind, genre, playlist, etc.

## History

When you convert a file, Permute stores the conversion into history. The history is by default cleared on a monthly basis (i.e. conversions older than a month are automatically removed). This can be further customized or completely disabled in the history preferences.
