}

OR

# ... other DBI/SQL operations

This module provides a tied hash interface and a DBI/SQL interface to MP files. It creates an in-memory database or hash from the Mp3 files themselves without actually creating a separate database file. This means that the database is automatically updated just by moving files in or out of the directories.
Many mp3 (mpeg three) music files contain a header describing the song name, artist, and other information about the music.

Simply choose Mp3 as the format and give a reference to an array of directories containing mp3 files. Each file in those directories will become a record containing the fields:

song
artist
album
year
genre
filename
filesize

This module is a submodule of the AnyData.pm and DBD::AnyData.pm modules. Refer to their documentation for further details.
