MP3 Jukebox-Tk is an organizer/jukebox for local mp3 collections. MP3 Jukebox-Tk sorts your mp3 files by band and presents a jukebox style interface to let you choose which ones to play.

It then passes these off to XMMS for playing. It also keeps stats on what you listen to, and can use those stats to generate a weighted random playlist for you. Non-weighted (truly random) playlists are also available.

MP3-Database project is a tool to organize your MP3 collection. If you insert a CD with MP3 files in your CDROM drive, MP3DB can read all ID3 tags of the MP3 files.
With this information MP3DB creates a database which can be searched for a specific song, artist, or CD.
A GUI makes it easy to use the program. Any title found in the database can easily be added to a playlist or can instantly be played by XMMS.
Main features:
- MySQL (Is needed as database backend)
- Perl5
- Perl Modules:
- Tk
- Tk-MesgBox
- Tk-LabFrame
- Tk-Pane
- DBI
- MP3-Info
- Msql-Mysql-modules
- To play MP3 files the MP3 player XMMS should be installed on your system. MP3-Database can easily be adapted to other MP3 players
Enhancements:
- NEW Data Structure: The MySQL database is much more complex than before. I used 3 Tables for Artists, Albums and Titles to store the data. This ensures that I have no redundancies in the tables. This has also enabled me to store additional fields in the database (for example the date of birth of an artist, or the release year of an album).
- NEW Temporary Database: I added some tables to store all new artists, albums and titles in a temporary database. This enables the user to check the new entries before adding them to the permanent database.
- NEW FEATURES: Additional Artist and Album information can be stored in the database, MP3DB can now create a random playlist and a playlist with the top 20 MP3 titles, MP3DB can show you a statistic how many artists, albums and titles are stored in the database.

MP3::Tag::ParseData is a Perl module for parsing arbitrary data associated with music files.

SYNOPSIS

Template::Plugin::MP3::Tag is a Perl interface to the MP3::Tag Module.

SYNOPSIS

[% USE tag = MP3("path_to_mp3_file") %]

[% tag.title %]
[% tag.album %]

# perldoc MP3::Tag for more ideas

Template::Plugin::MP3::Tag provides a simple wrapper for using MP3::Tag in object oriented mode; see MP3::Tag for more details.

Although Template::Plugin::MP3 can fetch MP3 files, but it Supports only ID3v1. When you have to fetch MP3 files ID3v2, I recommend you to use this module.
