Installation

mp3-archive-tools depends on MP3::Archive (packaged as libmp3-archive-perl), and MP3::Tag, available from CPAN or, for debian users, my apt source.

To install mp3-archive-tools from the .tar.gz file, unpack it, then use the standard perl installation method:

$ perl Makefile.PL
$ make

Then, as root:

# make install
