Noticed the 'Show & Tell' category is empty.

I love how beets queries work so I made a bridge between beets and mpd.
No more
mpc search <tag> <query> | grep -v foo | grep -v bar.

Just wanted to say that this is awesome!!

Very cool. I am using the Beets play plugin with command: /usr/share/musicplayerplus/scripts/mpcplay.sh $args. The mpcplay.sh script processes the arguments given the beet play ... command and executes mpc which adds the results of a Beets query to the MPD playlist. My approach does some of what beets2mpd does but I think beets2mpd may handle additional query results. Anyway, I just wanted to say this is very cool.

One question: I do not see any license for beets2mpd, just a copyright. I publish a project, MusicPlayerPlus, which includes customized and extended Beets support. If I wanted to include beets2mpd in this open source project then it would have to be licensed in a compatible manner. Do you have any plans to release beets2mpd under an open source license?

Thanks for your efforts and sharing. I've also learned a bit by studying your Beets config.yaml.
