NAME

       mp3-archive-tools - tools to maintain an archive of mp3 files


DESCRIPTION

       mp3-archive-tools is a set of tools to ease organising a collection of
       mp3 (and other audio) files. Each tool has its own man page.

       Tools included:

       mp3id
           View/change id3 metadata. Supports ID3v2 and extended frames
           (pictures, etc).

       filenametoid3
           Update id3 metadata from filename.

       id3tofilename
           Rename file based on id3 metadata.

       freedbtofilename
           Rename files based on data from freedb webpages (www.freedb.org).

       cddbtofilename
           Rename files based on data from cddb webpages (www.gracenote.com).

       movemusic
           Move music files to their correct place in your archive.

       update-music-symlinks
           Maintain a central link farm pointing to music in various places.

       pmv Rename files using arbitrary perl code.

       The file pmv-examples.sh (look in the source distribution or
       /usr/share/doc/mp3-archive-tools/) contains a set of useful bourne
       shell functions using pmv.

       Commands available:

       pmv-stdswap
           Swaps round fields in filenames delimited by " - ".

       pmv-space2_
           converts all spaces in filename to underscores.

       pmv-_2space
           Converts all underscores in filename to spaces.

       pmv-fixcaps
           Crude attempt at capitalising filenames.

       pmv-fixcase
           Much better attempt at capitalising filenames. This requires the
           Text::Autoformat module from CPAN (www.cpan.org).

       pmv-number
           Numbers filenames sequentially.

       pmv-deepen
           converts dirs from "artist - album" to "artist/album"

       pmv-flatten
           converts dirs from "artist/album" to "artist - album"


PREREQUISITES

       freedbtofilename, cddbtofilename, id3tofilename, filenametoid3 and
       movemusic require the MP3::Archive module, available from the same
       place you got mp3-archive-tools.

       mp3id, filenametoid3 and id3tofilename require the MP3::Tag module,
       available from www.cpan.org.

       If you want to use the example command pmv-fixcase, you will need the
       Text::Autoformat module, also available from www.cpan.org.


PORTABILITY

       All tools were developed in perl under linux. It should be trivial to
       get them working on any POSIX based system. If you get them working
       with windows, let me know.


BUGS

       None known. Please report any found to ianb@nessie.mcc.ac.uk
