Hello! This is a followup to last months "music db editor" thread: http://lists.suckless.org/dev/1310/17781.html
I've completed an initial implementation of a program which parses music file metadata (currently only ID3 tags for MP3 support, ATOM/AAC is next) and creates a filesystem-based farm/'DB' of symlinks. A file at '~/Music/somesong.mp3' that had proper ID3 tags would result in the following two symlinks being created: "${FARM_DIR}/artists/Some Artist/The Album/1_The Title.mp3" -> $HOME/Music/somesong.mp3 "${FARM_DIR}/albums/The Album/1_The Title.mp3" -> $HOME/Music/somesong.mp3 Where FARM_DIR is defined in config.h. Comments on this approach & the code are very welcome: https://github.com/bpowers/slm yours, Bobby
