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.

program. Please read this file before emailing me questions about the
scripts.

previous versions may wish to read this as often changes will require you
to regenerate the program indexes.

has the space.
