mp3mover.pl
mp3mover.pl is a Perl script which attempts to rename MP3 files so that they conform to a consistent user-defined naming scheme. It inspects every MP3 in a directory and attempts to work out which part of the MP3 is the artist's name, album name, etc. It then renames each MP3 to follow the user's naming scheme, optionally creating a directory structure and writing an id3v1 or id3v2 tag to the MP3 based on the information it obtains. It also has an optional GUI implemented using Perl/Tk. mp3mover.pl was designed to be very flexible and can be highly customized through the use of a large number of command line options and a per user configuration file.

Re: it's a still a comin
C++ version is progressing well.. I'll try to get it in the sourceforge CVS server soon. Beta release before the end of the year, been busy with work. It's going to be a KDE application I'm afraid ;)

Use the GUI for this kind of thing.

Well that never happened did it!
mp3mover.pl is still a great program, probably the best at what it does. I die of embarassment when I look at the code though. Anybody still using it these days?

it's a still a comin
Yeah I'm still working on this (in C++).
It's gonna be so much better! Worth the wait? Nah ;) <i mean yeah>
New version out soon
I actually started a complete rewrte of mp3mover in c++ instead of perl.
Proper object orientation is making things a lot easier (oh OOP is so stupid).
But obviously it's harder because it's c++.
I've just finished writing a regular expression library which uses PCRE to make things a lot easier, and then the rest is easy :)
It will be much nicer and faster when it's done. Maybe a month and it will be out. Someone else is working on a nicer GUI for it.
