+# shanty
+
+A modular music management application for the high seas. Shanty aims to be a better
+all-in-one solution for managing, tagging, organizing, and downloading music — built
+as a collection of standalone tools that work together seamlessly.
+
+## Architecture
+
+Shanty is organized as a Cargo workspace. Each component is its own crate, usable both
+as a library and (where applicable) a standalone CLI binary.
+
+| Crate | Description |
+|-------|-------------|
+| `shanty-db` | Shared database schema and access layer |
+| `shanty-index` | Music file indexing and metadata extraction |
+| `shanty-tag` | Metadata tagging via online databases |
+| `shanty-org` | File organization and renaming |
+| `shanty-watch` | Library watchlist management |
+| `shanty-dl` | Music downloading (yt-dlp and more) |
+| `shanty-search` | Online music search |
+| `shanty-notify` | Notifications for new releases and events |
+| `shanty-playlist` | Playlist generation |
+| `shanty-serve` | Music serving and streaming |
+| `shanty-play` | Built-in playback |
+| `shanty-web` | Web interface backend (Actix) with Elm frontend |
