livemp3 – convert those big old audio torrents to something listenable

You’ll need Perl, and Config::IniFiles.

Program: livemp3.

A sample ini file so you can see how to set this up: welch_rawlings_shepherds_bush.ini.

At the moment, this just generates output that you’ll need to feed to sh, but it handles renaming, converting and tagging MP3s to my satisfaction.

Update: it doesn’t handle FLAC tags, even though they’d be a good source of metadata. I may look into implementing that some day.
