1 Beets is the best command-line tool for viewing, querying, renaming,
2 and updating your music collection.
4 The purpose of beets is to get your music collection right once
5 and for all. It catalogs your collection, automatically improving
6 its metadata as it goes using the MusicBrainz database. (It also
7 downloads cover art for albums it imports.) Then it provides a
8 bouquet of tools for manipulating and accessing your music.
10 Because beets is designed as a library, it can do almost anything
11 you can imagine for your music collection. Via plugins, beets
14 * Embed and extract album art from files' tags.
15 * Listen to your library with a music player that speaks the MPD
16 protocol and works with a staggering variety of interfaces.
17 * Fetch lyrics for all your songs from databases on the Web.
18 * Manage your MusicBrainz music collection.
19 * Analyze music files' metadata from the command line.
20 * Clean up crufty tags left behind by other, less-awesome tools.
21 * Browse your music library graphically through a Web browser
22 and play it in any browser that supports HTML5 Audio.
