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 using the MusicBrainz database. 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:

If beets doesn’t do what you want yet, writing your own plugin is shockingly simple if you know a little Python.

Install beets by typing pip install beets. You might then want to read the Getting Started guide. Then follow @beets on Fosstodon for updates.
