The code in CVS right now has features that allow a user to edit the
database information on the server. Right now the code does not change
the underlying filenames or directory names to reflect the changes in
the database. I will add code to make sure that it does that.

However, a few of you have asked for better support to work with an
existing MP3 collection. For instance, if I write a perl script that
will take a path argument from the command line, the script could
simply enter the necessary data records in the database, without ever
moving/renaming/duplicating the MP3 collection. The metadata (artist,
title, album, etc) could simply be plucked from the ID3v1|2 tags and
stuffed into the database. What should that script do with files that
have no meta data?

Would that do the trick? How about a script that takes the metadata
from the database and stuffs it back into the ID3v1|2 tags in the files?
Please help me define what these new scripts need to do and I will get
them written and after that I'll do a release.

If you have any thoughts on this, please share them with me.
