                             MP3::Archive
                             ------------

MP3::Archive is a module to encapsulate the parsing and creation of
filenames containing music metadata (artist, album, etc). It is used
by mp3lint and mp3-archive-tools.

DOWNLOADING

The latest version is at 

http://nessie.mcc.ac.uk/~ianb/libmp3-archive-tools/

along with links to mp3lint and mp3-archive-tools.

.deb and .rpm files should also be available at the same place.

INSTALLING

To install, you use the standard perl installation method of:

$ tar xzvvf libmp3-archive-perl-VERSION.tar.gz
$ cd libmp3-archive-perl-VERSION
$ perl Makefile.PL
$ make

then, as root:

# make install

VERSION is the current version, eg 0.9

PORTABILITY

MP3::Archive should work on any modern unix system. I haven't yet
tried it under windows. If anyone tries, I would appreciate feedback.

I've tried to avoid the latest features of perl, but you may run into
problems if you have an old version of ExtUtils::MakeMaker (perl's
installer). Version 6.16 definately works.

TODO

Windows support

Bug reports, fixes, compliments or (constructive) criticisms would be
