+MusicMan
+========
+
+A music library and converter manager.
+--------------------------------------
+
+MusicMan is a media library management and orchistration tool to assist in
+keeping a music library neat, tidy, and clean. It utilizes the music metadata
+to organize files into their respective reasonable organizational structure:
+
+Artist/Album/[disc#-][track#-]Song Title.ext
+
+The tool was primarily designed to work from a lossless media format, such as
+FLAC, and transcode into compressed formats, such as M4A for use on portable
+devices such as an iPhone or Android device.
+
+Metadata evaluation is dependant on the existance of MusicBrainz' fields to
+help insure accuracy is maintained. Right now it's recommended to use 
+MusicBrainz Picard, or similar, to tag your media and then use the tool to
+organize it. Organization is kept on both media library formats so it remains
+neat and clean.
+
+This is work in progress, and currently only transcodes to M4A, but the idea
+is to be able to support other formats to convert to.
+
+Conversion to M4A requires FFmpeg with the fdk-aac codec support compiled in.
+
+If you're interested in helping develop on this project, please feel free to,
+all I ask is that you work off a feature or bug branch off the develop branch
+and request your pull requests towards develop.
