[CLUE-Tech] more on recursive .mp3 playing

To any of you who have the disorganized mp3 tree, I have a script to
rearrange the files into a nice hierarchy of form:

/<artist>/<album>/<track number>-<track name>

The file needs to have a set of id3 tags.  Missing names are replaced
with "Unknown" (or left out).  If anyone is interested, I can upload
the script (it is a short perl script and an ugly mess which was
whipped together in an hour).

I make no guarantees as to whether on not the script works, and there
are a couple of caveats (e.g., if the album name is too long to fit
into an id3 tag and you have several albums with the same truncated
album name -- very rare case, but it happened to me...).

Anywho, if there is any interest on the list I'll post it, otherwise,
drop me a line directly <dhawkins at cdrgts.com>.
