`beets-rymgenre` is a [beets][beets] plugin to fetch genre information from
[rateyourmusic.com][rym] and assigning it to your albums and items.

## WARNING

I don't recommend using this plugin! I got banned from rateyourmusic.com in
mid-2016 for an abusive use of the site by using this plugin. The answer I got
from Hossein Sharifi pointed out to scraping being disallowed by
rateyourmusic.com:

> RYM does not allow (and has never allowed) access via scraping or other types
> of scripts which access the site in an automated fashion. Please refrain from
> doing so until we complete our API, which is currently being developed and
> should be part of Sonemic.
The API
is [currently being developed](https://rateyourmusic.com/rymzilla/view?id=683)
and I might get back to this project when it is published.

## Installation

The plugin requires [lxml][lxml] and [requests][requests], which you can install
