Emacs is the extensible, customizable, self-documenting real-time display editor. This Editor is used to do a lot of things, from IRC to reading mails and news, along with "basic" editing, advanced macro, remote control, multimedia player, and so on..
This webpage is about EMMS, an Emacs "package" that you use to extend Emacs features to multimedia.

EMMS's appearance is customizable, and can range from a simple "now playing" notice when a new song starts, to a collection browser and interactive playlist.
