Thanks for the follow-up. Actually, I have found a plugin for beets
which can update an MPD DB. So I guess that I can use EMMS’ MPD
interface and see if I can do what I have in mind.

Right now, I am no able to use EMMS with MPD, but I can’t figure out
where the issue is. I am a beginner with both of them.

Is there any tutorial (in addition to the EMMS manual) for the MPD
interface? Any config examples?

I would really like to stay in Emacs for everything and
music is one of the last pieces I am missing.

Thanks again.
