-Options for EchoNest are exactly the same as LastFm (same default as well), except for cache plugin which is always needed to limit number of requests to the service\&.
+This plugin permits offline autoqueuing based on files tags only\&. Supported tags are
+\fB\*(Aqcomment\*(Aq\fR,
+\fB\*(Aqdate\*(Aq\fR,
+\fB\*(Aqgenre\*(Aq\fR,
+\fB\*(Aqlabel\*(Aq\fR

+\fB\*(Aqoriginaldate\*(Aq\fR\&. It currently supports single track queuing only, no album mode for this plugin\&.

+In addition to supported tags above you can use an MPD filter\&. Please refer to MPD protocol documentation for more\&.
.PP
-\fB[echonest]\fR
+All entries in this section are ANDed as a single MPD filter to look for titles in the library\&. Moreover, with tags, comma separated values are also ANDed\&.

+
+For instance setting "\fBgenre=rock\fR" and "\fBdate=1982,1983,1984,1985,1986,1987,1988,1989\fR" will end up looking for track tagged with genre
+\fBrock\fR
+and date within 1985 through 1990\&.
+.br
+
+Using an MPD filter to replace
+\fBdate\fR
