+Stats Plugin
+============
+
+The ``stats`` plugin provides commands for displaying statistics about your
+music library, such as the total number of tracks, artists, albums, and the
+overall size and duration of your collection.
+
+Basic Statistics
+----------------
+
+By default, the ``stats`` command prints a concise summary of the library or a
+query result:
+
+::
+
+    $ beet stats
+
+This includes:
+
+- Total number of matched tracks
+- Total listening time
+- Approximate total size of audio files
+- Number of artists, albums, and album artists
+
+Exact Mode
+----------
+
+The ``-e`` / ``--exact`` flag enables *exact* size and duration calculations:
+
+::
+
+    $ beet stats --exact
+
+When this flag is used, the command:
+
+- Computes file sizes directly from the filesystem instead of estimating them
+  from bitrate and duration
+- Prints both human-readable values and raw byte/second counts
+- May be slower on large libraries, as it requires accessing every audio file
+
+This mode is useful when precise storage or duration figures are required.
+
+Overview Report
+---------------
+
+In addition to the standard output, the ``stats`` command supports an
+*overview-style* report that generates a detailed, human-readable summary of
+your library.
+
+To generate this report, run:
+
+::
+
+    $ beet stats --overview
+
+This prints a comprehensive report including general library statistics,
+listening time, audio quality information, decade distribution, and summary
+highlights.
+
+Example output:
+
+::
+
+    Beets Library Report
+    Generated: 2026-01-05 12:34:56
+    ============================================================
+    Overview
+      Tracks:   124
+      Albums:   30
+      Artists:  20

+    Listening time & quality
+      Total playtime:   12:34:56
+      Avg track length: 00:06:07

+      Primary format:   MP3
+    ------------------------------------------------------------
+    Favorite musical decades

+      10s (2010-2019): 49 tracks (39.5%)
+    ------------------------------------------------------------
+    Your Music Wrapped
+      Top artist:   Radiohead (15 tracks)
+      Top genre:    Alternative (28 tracks)
+      Top decade:   10s (2010-2019, 49 tracks)
+      Top year:     2017 (12 tracks)
+      Longest track:  Pink Floyd – Echoes (23:31)
+      Shortest track: Daft Punk – Nightvision (01:12)
+      Missing genre tags: 3
+      Missing year tags:  2
+
+The overview report includes:
+
+- Total number of tracks, albums, artists, and genres
+- Range of years present in the library
+- Total listening time and average track length
+- Average bitrate and primary file format
+- Distribution of tracks by decade
+- Most common artist, genre, decade, and year
+- Longest and shortest tracks
+- Counts of tracks missing genre or year metadata
+
+The ``--overview`` flag is mutually exclusive with ``--exact`` and always uses
+estimated sizes and durations derived from metadata.
