This archive contains the tools described on this page. Some perl modules that I have written are required to be available on your system. There is an install description enclosed.

manual: mms-filename2tag [modified: 2006-09-30 18:22]

This tool fills fields of the ID3 tag with information that is extracted from the filename and is based on a pattern description of the filename's structure.

manual: mms-tag2filename [modified: 2006-09-30 18:22]

This tool lets you specifiy a pattern describing the desired structure of a filename and extracts the necessary information from the file's ID3 tag.

manual: mms-detagtor [modified: 2006-09-30 18:22]

A read-only tool that basically prints ID3 tag information in a very compact or a nice looking format. Moreover it is possible to define filters so that you can search for files with certain tags; this is especially helpful for large MP3 collections.

manual: mms-settag [modified: 2006-09-30 18:22]

This tool aims at setting certain tag fields of a list of files to the same values, e.g. the artist, album title, year and genre of tracks that belong to the same album.

manual: mms-m3umaker [modified: 2006-09-30 18:22]

With this tool you can create playlists (.m3u) for directories of MP3 files. It has some advanced features like deletion or backup of existing playlists as well as support for the creation of playlists in extended m3u format.
