mp3mv

Last night, when I should have been doing schoolwork,
I wrote a little perl program to rename and retag multiple
MP3 files based on information about a music album from
an ASCII representation of a MARC record. MARC is a
data format developed by the Library of Congress to
store bibliographic data, and one can download MARC records
for various albums from allmusic.com
by clicking on the “Click here to see this album in MARC format”
link on a album’s page.

This program would be good if, for instance, an album’s worth
of MP3 files that you ripped from your CD got their filenames
or ID3 tags corrupted and you wanted to fix them fairly quickly.

The program is here, and you’ll need Perl and the MP3::Tag
Perl module to run it.
