This update adds a new :doc:`/plugins/hook` that lets you integrate beets with
8+
command-line tools and an :doc:`/plugins/export` that can dump data from the
9+
beets database as JSON. You can also automatically translate lyrics using a
10+
machine translation service.

813

914
:doc:`/plugins/acousticbrainz` instead.
