Cultured Perl: Fun with MP3 and Perl, Part 2

Posted by michael on from the tastes-great-less-filling dept.

Ted writes "I continues to look at manipulating and guessing MP3 tags with Perl, FreeDB, and various CPAN models via my autotag.pl application. Writing autotag.pl was grueling but fun. I used fuzzy string matching, FreeDB searches, ID3 versions 1 and 2, and lots of text-mode user interactions. It all came together in an application that I tested thoroughly over the course of a month. Info and Slashdot comments about Part One can be seen here, which was posted in December."
