I have this wonderful music library app: beets.

When I run beet ls somequery -f, I get a newline-separated list of my music files’ paths. Unfortunately, the paths contain unescaped spaces and I can’t feed mplayer like this:

mplayer `beet ls smooth`

This doesn’t work either:

mplayer $((q)beet ls smooth)

Could anyone provide a compact solution?
