AudioFile::Identify::MusicBrainz 0.4

AudioFile::Identify::MusicBrainz is a pure-perl MusicBrainz client implementation.

A::I::M is, at heart, a pure-perl implementation of the MusicBrainz client protocol, encapsulated in some sensible Track/Album/Artist objects that have the sort of methods youd expect. So I can, given a Track object, go

my $some_title = $track->album->track(4)->artist->title;

Eventually, this is intended to be merely a plugin to a more general AudioFile::Identify architecture, along with such exciting things as A::I::Amazon, A::I::CDDB, etc, but until theyre ready and we have a decent API for it, its useful to have this out in the wild, as its very useful.

USAGE

See AudioFile::Identify::MusicBrainz::Query for details, but in summary:

use AudioFile::Identify::MusicBrainz::Query;
my $query = AudioFile::Identify::MusicBrainz::Query->new();
$query->FileInfoLookup(
artist => coldplay,
title => yellow,
items => 5,
) or die "Could not query: " . $query->error();
print "I got ".scalar(@{$query->results})." resultsn";

print "Most likely album is ".
$query->result(0)->album->title ."n";
print "Most likely trackNum is ".
$query->result(0)->track->trackNum ."n";

See AudioFile::Identify::MusicBrainz::Album, AudioFile::Identify::MusicBrainz::Artist and AudioFile::Identify::MusicBrainz::Track for details of the methods you can call on these returned objects.

Theres an example of its use in the examples folder in the tarball, tagger.pl (see tagger.pl). This is a utility that examines the ID3 tags of an MP3 file, and will print what MusicBrainz suggests for the rest of the tags.
