MP3-Database tool helps arrange and manage your MP3 collection.
MP3-Database is a highly functional tool designed to help you organize your MP3 collection with ease. It operates by automatically reading all ID3 tags of MP3 files from any CD inserted into the CD-ROM drive. The gathered information is then used to create a searchable database of your entire collection, letting you browse by song, artist, or CD. To keep things simple, the program comes equipped with a user-friendly GUI interface, making navigation pleasant and straightforward.
One standout feature of MP3-Database is its ability to add any title from the database directly to a playlist, or to play it instantly using XMMS. To take full advantage of these features, it is necessary to have MySQL, Perl5, and a number of additional Perl modules which are listed in the software specifications.
The software's advanced architecture is designed to ensure that there are no redundancies within the tables, even as the dataset expands. To this end, it uses three tables—Artists, Albums, and Titles—to store all necessary data. This new design also allows additional fields to be added, such as the date of birth of an artist, or the release year of an album.
Other key features of MP3-Database include the ability to adapt easily to other MP3 players, and its capacity to generate custom playlists such as a random playlist or top 20 MP3 titles. Additionally, MP3-Database provides a statistical summary of the total number of artists, albums, and titles stored in the database.
The latest release of MP3-Database includes some significant additions and improvements, including the implementation of a new and more complex MySQL database structure, the setup of a temporary database to store all new artists, albums, and titles before their entry into the permanent database, and an expanded database capable of including additional artist and album information.
