That’s a good question.  Off the top of my head, I think the most 
obvious is using the beets library as the backend for the EMMS 
browser, which I think would be a nice bridge from beets into 
EMMS.  Possibly also a way to load beets-managed playlists.

It’d be very nice to have an Emacs UI for `beets import', but I 
don’t think that’s something that makes sense to have in EMMS.
