+Beets is the media library management system for obsessive-compulsive
+music geeks.
+
+The purpose of beets is to get your music collection right once and
+for all. It catalogs your collection, automatically improving its
+metadata as it goes. It then 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:
+
+- Fetch or calculate all the metadata you could possibly need: album
+ art, ReplayGain levels, or acoustic fingerprints.
+- Get metadata from MusicBrainz, Discogs, or Beatport. Or guess
+ metadata using songs' filenames or their acoustic fingerprints.
+- Transcode audio to any format you like.
+- Check your library for duplicate tracks and albums or for albums
+ that are missing tracks.
+- Browse your music library graphically through a Web browser and play
+ it in any browser that supports HTML5 Audio.
+- ...and lots more.
+
+If beets doesn't do what you want yet, writing your own plugin is
+shockingly simple if you know a little Python.
