+.TH DEADBEEF "1" "December 29, 2014" "DeaDBeeF 0.6.2" "User Commands"
+.SH NAME
+deadbeef \- ultimate music player for GNU/Linux
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B deadbeef
+[\fIOPTION\fR]... [\-\- \fIFILE\fR]...
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.\" Add any additional description here
+DeaDBeeF (as in 0xDEADBEEF) is an audio player for GNU/Linux, *BSD, OpenSolaris,
+and other UNIX-like systems. DeaDBeeF plays files encoded with MP3, Ogg Vorbis,
+FLAC, WAV, and AAC, as well as many exotic codecs, and it offers a
+fully-featured metadata editor with automatic character set detection and
+Unicode support.
+
+DeaDBeeF's interface is reminiscent of the well-known nonfree music player
+Foobar2000, including multiple playlists with selection via tabs, customizable
+groups within playlists, album cover display, global hotkey support, and OSD
+integration.
+
+When started without a file, \fBdeadbeef\fR opens a graphical window displaying
+the user's music library. When started with a file, \fBdeadbeef\fR behaves in
+exactly the same way, but it also plays the specified file.
+
