Songanizer is a shell script to organize a directory containing a collection of MP3 files. The goal is to create virtual directory structures, which give different view of the data, but without having redundant copies of the files themselves.

The files are organized according to information gathered from the tags of files stored in subdirectories located under the base directory, which bear the prefix _data in their name. Parallel virtual directory structures containing symbolic links to the actual files are created, which give different views of the same data. Each virtual directory stucture gives a view based on a particular attribute specified by the user. The _data directories themselves can be symbolic links to directories on other devices, and can have multiple levels of sub-directories within them holding the actual song files.

After songanization, the BASE directory will contain the following directories:
(i) _data* --> All directories starting with _data contain the real data.
(ii) _artist --> Contains the link structure on the basis of the artist tag.
(iii) _genre --> Contains the link structure on the basis of the genre tag.
(iv) _initial --> Contains the link structure on the basis of the initial.
... and more, depending on the switches passed to the script

Since Songanizer is a shell script, a running shell is the first and foremost requirement. Preferably it should be a Bourne Again SHell. You may report problems encountered on any shell to the project maintainer.

Getopt (enhanced) is needed to extract the options from the command line arguments. Alongwith that you should have gettext for internationalization support.

The mp3info tool should be installed in the system to process the file tags. It can be downloaded from http://ibiblio.org/mp3info/.

Class::Accessor::Fast::Contained is a Perl module for fast accessors with data containment.

SYNOPSIS

package Foo;
use base qw(Class::Accessor::Fast::Contained);

# The rest is the same as Class::Accessor::Fast

This module does two things differently to the venerable Class::Accessor::Fast :

Fields are stored at arms-length within a single hash value of $self, rather than directly in the $self blessed referent.
new() allows mixin into an existing object, rather than creating and returning a new blessed hashref. To do this, just call something like:

my $self = Some::Other::Class->new;
$self = $self->Class::Accessor::Fast::Contained::new;

Note that the mixin code only supports objects which use a blessed hash reference or a blessed typeglob reference.
An alias setup() is available which does the same as new() but might make more sense if being used in this way.

MetaTrans::Languages Perl module contains a simple "database" of most of the known languages. Extracted from MARC codes for languages, http://www.loc.gov/marc/languages/.

SYNOPSIS

print get_code_by_lang(Afrikaans); # prints afr

FUNCTIONS

get_lang_by_code($code)

Returns the {code_1 => language_1, code_2 => language_2, ...} hash containing all known languages and their codes.

get_langs_hash_rev

Returns the {language_1 => code_1, language_2 => code_2, ...} hash containing all known languages and their codes.

Tamil Converters is a package containing five programs that convert Tamil text from ISCII to Unicode, Unicode to ISCII, ITRANS to ISCII, ITRANS to ISCII, and TSCII to Unicode.
All five programs provide fairly extensive checking of their input for errors and untranslatable codes. The ITRANS used is, by default, extended to include codes for the Tamil digits and to include HZ escapes (as defined in RFC 1843) that delimit the Tamil portion.
This allows processing of mixed Tamil and ASCII text. The extensions and use of HZ escapes can be disabled by command-line switches.
Enhancements:
- Several programs inadvertently omitted from the previous version of the package are now included.
- Several errors in the Makefile have been fixed.

Mirro is an application used to find the closest mirror to your connection.

Date::Hijri is a Perl extension to convert islamic (hijri) and gregorian dates.

SYNOPSIS

use Date::Hijri;

# convert gregorian to hijri date
my ($hd, $hm, $hy) = g2h($gd, $gm, $gy);

# convert hijri to gregorian date
my ($gd, $gm, $gy) = h2g($hd, $hm, $hy);

This simple module converts gregorian dates to islamic (hijri) and vice versa.
The dates must be given as an array containing the day, month and year, and return the corresponding date as a list with the same elements.
