mp3frip - MP3 File Renamer in Perl

STATUS: DEAD

2003 Mar 15: UPDATE: Well, I haven't done anything with this in years.

You might want to take a look at aRanger, if this doesn't do it for you.

README

This program will rename MP3 files.  

Features:
 - It can search directories recursively.
 - Upper, Lower or Title case files
 - Changes underscores to spaces and vice versa.
 - Form file names from ID3v1(.1) tag (artist, song title, album, 
    track number) if they exist and the existing file name.
 - Test mode
 - Smart/Stoopid/Safer mode: 
      - won't overwrite existing files, 
      - change #'s to 0#'s at beginning of files, 
      - try to enfore '## - BLAH' instead of '##-BLAH' or '## -BLAH', 
        etc.,
      - if %[Nn], try not to append track number if track number 
        already exists,
      - more...

Requirements:
 - Perl 5.00? 
 - Perl IO module

Install:
 - Put mp3frip.pl someplace where you can execute it conveniently.

Examples:
 - Get list of options:
 
   mp3frip.pl -h or 
   perl mp3frip.pl -h

 - Run in test mode, changes underscores to spaces, title case,
   add track number if it exists: 

   mp3frip.pl -Dstrf "%N%f"

   i.e. would change "saddest_tale.mp3" to "05 - Saddest Tale.mp3"
        (if ID3 present) or "Saddest Tale.mp3" (if no ID3 tag)

Todo:
 - Modularize
 - Make moe betta
