I wrote a few PERL scripts that I would lke to post if I wasn't in the process of moving (the PC is PACKED!).

I use Spinfree's Audiofile Internet Companion to catalog my CD's, then I use CDex to rip them into MP3's. Then I create web pages of the catalog and what has been ripped. It's a cheap way of not buying a CD catalogging tool.

Anyway, one script takes the output of AIC and creates the catalog files that CDEX can understand so that you don't have to hit the CDDB with AIC and then again with CDEX.

The other creates web pages of the catalog with links to the MP3 on the hard drive, if there is one. The pages are in the format of click on the letter of the alphabet, go to the albums, click on the albums, go to the song list, click on the song, and it will kick off in your media player.

I'll post these once I get the PC unpacked, if anyone is interested...

    For a cool mp3 script, check out the node MP3 server with IO::Socket. Maybe you could hook your web based catalog into it and create customizable playlists online?
      I was thinking of that. That is logically the next stage in its evolution. My darned house burned down before I could get to it, though.

    Ozzy is any part of your code specific to a particular architecture/os?
      I don't believe that it is, but I can't actually make sure, b/c the PC is packed. I think it makes use of file::find, and a bunch of regexes. I only tested it with NT4.
