It catalogs your collection, automatically improving its metadata as it goes using the MusicBrainz database. (It also downloads cover art for albums it imports.) Then it provides a bouquet of tools for manipulating and accessing your music. Because beets is designed as a library, it can do almost anything you can imagine for your music collection. Via plugins, beets becomes a panacea: * Embed and extract album art from files’ tags. * Listen to your library with a music player that speaks the MPD protocol and works with a staggering variety of interfaces. * Fetch lyrics for all your songs from databases on the Web. * Manage your MusicBrainz music collection. * Analyze music files’ metadata from the command line. * Clean up crufty tags left behind by other, less-awesome tools. * Browse your music library graphically through a Web browser and play it in any browser that supports HTML5 Audio. If beets doesn’t do what you want yet, writing your own plugin is shockingly simple if you know a little Python.
