mp3 file manager similar to midnight commander
I am in search of a file manager similar to midnight commander, but for use with mp3 files. The manager needs to be able to transfer files from one directory to another, and to display the ID3 tags (even as midnight commander displays the file content). I have a directory which has many mp3 files of lectures on various subjects, and only a small number of the lectures are of interest to me. The ID3 tag of each file contains the subject of the lecture. But I cannot read the ID3 tag with midnight commander (does midnight commander have this capability), and I am not aware of a mp3 tag utility which allows me to move, copy, and delete files. The Debian package called juice is a playlist editor, but cannot copy, move, or delete files. Also, juice still is preliminary (release 0.03p), is rather crude, and appears to be no longer in development. RLH -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

If you are using Konqueror as a file browser, the View - Info List option will show you ID3 tags and Window - Split View Left/Right will give you a two column layout similar to MC. The only draw back is that it's not curses based.

Re: mp3 file manager similar to midnight commander
Write a script using something like cutmp3 to extract the ids and put them (and the associated file name) in a file. Edit the file with any text editor to remove the uninteresting entries. Run another script to move the remaining files. -- John Hasler -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

In etch, MC shows me the ID3 tags for mp3 files in its default
configuration. I haven't touched this.
From ~/.mc/bindings:
regex/\.(mp3|MP3|Mp3)$
Open=run-mailcap audio/mpeg:%f
#Open=if [ $DISPLAY = ]; then mpg123 %f; else (xmms %f );
fi
View=%view{ascii} mpg123 -vtn1 %f 21 | sed -n
'/^Title/,/^Comment/p;/^
MPEG/,/^Audio/p'
So I can see the tags with F3 and play them with Enter.
This is different for you?

This is with the free mpg321 package installed, btw.

Re: mp3 file manager similar to midnight commander
Quoth Russell L. Harris: I am in search of a file manager similar to midnight commander, but for use with mp3 files. I don't know what Midnight Commander is, but for managing many mp3's (and audio files in general) Easytag (it's in the repos) has proven to be an invaluable resource. Picard is better for stuff that's in Musicbrainz already (which, I assume, is not the case here), but otherwise, just use easytag. I think it's not that much aimed at general file managing, but more at managing a music library, but it might suit your needs. Otherwise Konqueror might help you as well.
