Via plugins, beets becomes a panacea - Fetch or calculate all the meta-data you could possibly need lyrics, genres, tempos, ReplayGain levels, or acoustic fingerprints. - Get meta-data from MusicBrainz, Discogs, or Beatport. Or guess meta-data using songs’ file names 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.
