Description:

MP3Organizer is designed to organize your MP3-collection. It gets the songinformation from the MP3-Files and its ID3-Tags or the filenames and stores it in a mysql-database. Easily you can search for files by artist, title, album, etc. and create playlists.

Features:

SQL-Database support
integrated mpg123 support
faster playlist management (than in the previous version)
supports KDE 2.1.1 and QT 2.2
keyboard shortcuts for really fast mp3-management

Installation and Configuration:

Follow the instructions in INSTALL.

MySQL:

If you haven't access to a mysql-database, please install one. At the moment mp3organizer only works with a local database. Starting MP3Organizer the first time, it will ask you for connection parameters. In the dialog select create database and enter the username and password for a user which is allowed to create and drop databases on the left side (in most cases root and no password). On the right side enter the access information MP3Organizer will use to connect the database. If you create a new database, you can choose free what to enter.

Other:

You must create a directory for MP3Organizer to store its playlists in. This directory must not contain any other files than it creates itself. Enter the empty directory-path in the configuration dialog in the playlist-path field.

MP3Organizer should work, now. At the moment there are a still many bugs but this is only a preview release!

Changelog

22.04.2000 : V0.2-pre2 Some bigger bugs fixed

14.04.2000 : V0.2-pre Completely reprogrammed pre-release of MP3Organizer supporting KDE 2 and QT 2.2

14.09.2000 : V0.1-beta2

added a playlist-cache: until now every playlist was read from the database getting the song info for each playlist-entry, what used a lot of time. Now MP3Organizer will read playlists only once at startup. This takes a lot of time, but then you can work with big playlists very fast.
Improved import options: if update paths is selected, unknown files will be inserted nevertheless
select from playlist: mp3organizer reads a playlist (m3u) and trys to select the files (usefull if you reset the database and want to use your old playlists again)
several bugfixes
