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. |
