+=head1 NAME
+
+mpd-feeder -- MPD playlist manager with emphasys on diversity
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+Engage daemon mode, keeping the MPD playlist full:
+
+ mpd-feeder [I<option>...]
+
+Perform a single command and return:
+
+ mpd-feeder [I<option>...] I<command>
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+C<mpd-feeder> keeps the playlist of MPD full with songs, avoiding songs,
+artists and albums that have been queued recently. This can be used for
+listening to large song collections without repetitions that happen with random
+shuffling or when a given artist has many more songs that the rest.
+
+The song list is stored in a PostgreSQL database that is kept updated
+automatically as the MPD database is updated.
+
+The timespans for "recent" queueing are configurable.
+
+=head1 COMMANDS
+
+In daemon mode (with no command given), C<mpd-feeder> connects to MPD, updates
+its local copy of the song database and makes sure that the playlist never has
+fewer songs than the configured minimum. Playlist changes are detected when
+they happen.
+
+When a command is given, C<mpd-feeder> does not engage in daemon mode, but returns
+to the OS after execution.
+
+=head2 dump-config
+
+Prints configuration file contents on standard output. Can be used to create
+skeleton F<mpd-feeder.conf>. Makes no connection to MPD or PostgreSQL.
+
+=head2 add-unwanted-artist I<artist name>
+
+Adds one artist to toe list of unwanted artists. That list is consulted when a
+new song needs to be added to MPD's playlist and songs by artists in it are
+skipped.
+
+=head2 del-unwanted-artist I<artist name>
+
+The reverse of C<add-unwanted-artist>.
+
+=head2 list-unwanted-artists
+
+Prints the contents of the unwanted artist list, one per line.
+
+=head2 add-unwanted-album I<album name> by I<artist name>
+
+=head2 del-unwanted-album I<album name> by I<artist name>
+
+=head2 list-unwanted-albums
+
+Manupulate the list of unwanted albums. Useful when there is an album you don't
+want to listen to, but you still want to hear other albums by the same artist.
+
+=head2 one-shot
+
+Connects to MPD, and if the playlist is below the configured minimum, adds some
+songs.
+
+=head2 single
+
+Adds one song to the playlist. Ignores the configured minimum.
