MP3DB2 is a collection of bash scripts for keeping track of large MP3 collections. It will retrieve song information from the filenames and ID3 tags of a directory or CD of MP3s and store them in a local database.

This program is a complete rewrite of my MP3 database version 1. Version 1 only stored the data that was present in the filenames while version 2 actually retrieves information from the ID3 tags of each MP3.

Please note that as of this version the database format is NOT considered carved in stone. I have already added a few fields mid-development and this will continue for a while if I think the format can be made better. See the changelog for a list of changes to the database format since V2.0.

What's New in This Release:
mp3dupe: now just displays the name of the directory we are checking not the full path in the host filesystem.
