Project Description

MP3DB2 is a collection of bash scripts for keeping track of large MP3 collections. It will retrieve song information from the filenames and ID3 tags of a directory or CD of MP3s and store them in a local database. It then allows you to search any of the fields, generate a master listing of all your complete albums, see the size of your entire collection, and more.

Project Downloads

The current stable version of mp3db2 is mp3db2-2.6.tar.gz
If you want to see what is in the works for the next version you can chec out a DIFF with pending updates. This DIFF is generated against the stable version. mp3db2-devel.diff
You will also need mp3info-0.2.16 to make use of these scripts. You can download it from the primary distribution site: ftp://bimbo.hive.no/pub/mp3info/ or from my local mirror: mp3info-0.2.16.tar.gz
If you get an error while compiling mp3info under Linux in the file mp3info.cxx you can try this diff: mp3info.diff
If you want to test the scripts with out generating a database of your own you can grab a test database: mp3db2-sample_catalog.tar.gz
If you are interested in older versions you can find them in the old directory.

Project Notes

If you would like to see what's new in version 2.6 check out the Release Notes
The README file contains more information about the installation and operation of the program. Please read this file before emailing me questions about the scripts.
The changes file contains the complete version history since V2.08. Users upgrading from previous versions may wish to read this as often changes will require you to regenerate the program indexes.

Please feel free to contact me with any comments or suggestions about these scripts. I am also currently looking for a mirror site if any one has the space.

This project is kindly hosted by sourceforge.net
