Yeah, one of these days I'll get around to testing that configuration. I
know there are issues with Apache2 and mod_perl2 outside of TVDinner.

This wouldn't be a huge effort, but I'm torn about allowing it. Maybe it's
because I never really "upload" MP3's from the web interface. I have a
drive shared that I dump into and then I run the "collect" script. Perhaps
if I had a good case for it...

This I could see. Except I just use the "AmazonImage" tool (which is
packaged with the distribution.) The problem you'll run into with that is
image sizing.

There are two that come with TVDinner (mp3tag.pl and mp3set.pl) although
they only set ID3V1 tags. I haven't gotten around to ID3V2 tags yet
although there is limited support for it. The web interface also allows
you to edit. Batch wise, there is the "reversewrite.pl" tool that will
take entried from the database and write them to the MP3's ID3V1 tags.

One feature I'd like to get around to adding is the ability to run the
"collect" script from the web interface. That way, I don't have to log
into my box to add new tunes. Of course, I don't really add a whole lot
anymore (I'm already up to 35GB - 6868 titles).

Soon, you'll see interface changes. I'm trying to come up with a simpler
interface to use in conjunction with my "bar soundsystem" project.


Thanks for the input!
