dmcat
dmcat is a Digital Music CATalog program. Written in Perl, it recurses a physical directory, searching for digital music files, and builds a virtual catalog (out of symbolic links) in a sister directory. It currently only supports the MP3 format using ID3 tags. The following hierarchies are supported: Album, Artist, Artist_Album, Genre, Miscellaneous (catch-all), Title, and Year.
| Tags | multimedia Sound/Audio Utilities Players MP3 |
|---|---|
| Licenses | GPL |
| Operating Systems | POSIX |
| Implementation | Perl |

Recent commentsPretty Damned Cool
This is pretty damned cool. It would have been up and working in seconds, had my perl setup been correct.
If anything, this shows how deficient my ID3 tags are:) The only thing I'd like to see added is the ability to edit those tags when the program hits blank spots. And perhaps a progress bar.
