With the wealth of online stores all providing music tagged in various formats, it can be a nightmare to unify them all. + +This is where beetFs comes in. Derived from beets, beetFs presents a FUSE filesystem that is based on your tags. + +Modifying the tags within the beetFs mountpoint will not change the data on the hard disk, merely update the beet database. When an application requests a music file from within the beetFs mountpoint, beetFs provides tag information from its own database, instead of from the original file, but music data from the on-disk location. + +This enables completely transparent modification of tags within an audio file with no change to the underlying on-disk data.
