+# Elisa
+
+Elisa music player
+
+## Introduction
+
+Elisa is a simple music player aiming to provide a nice experience for its users.
+Elisa allows to browse music by album, artist or all tracks. The music is indexed
+using either a private indexer or an indexer using Baloo. The private one can be
+configured to scan music on chosen paths. The Baloo one is much faster because
+Baloo is providing all needed data from its own database. You can build and play
+your own playlist.
+
+## Contributions
+
+Contributions are very much welcome. Elisa is following a design by KDE VDG team
+(https://community.kde.org/KDE\_Visual\_Design\_Group/Musici\_Player).
+Please use Phabricator instance from KDE to contribute.
