NAME Music::Tag - Interface for collecting information about music files. DESCRIPTION Extendable module for working with Music Tags. Music::Tag Is powered by various plugins that collect data about a song based on whatever information has already been discovered. The motivation behind this was to provide a convenient method for fixing broken tags in music files. This developed into a universal interface to various music file tagging schemes and a convenient way to augment this from online databases. Several plugin modules to find information about a music file and write it back into the tag are available. These modules will use available information (REQUIRED DATA VALUES and USED DATA VALUES) and set various data values back to the tag. INSTALLATION To install this module type the following: perl Makefile.PL make make test make install IMPORTANT NOTE If you have installed older versions (older than .25) PLEASE delete the following scripts from your bin folder: autotag, safetag, quicktag, musicsort, musicinfo. If you used any of these scripts, create a symbolic link to musictag for each. QUICK INSTALL OF ALL PACKAGES A bundle is available to quickly install Music::Tag with all plugins.
