[ID3 Dev] Reading Tags into a Database

[John Slane]

Thank you very much for the head-up on your program.  I have cruised through SourceForge and other favorite resources, looking for something like this.  I don't know how I missed it.  I look forward to giving this a go during the coming weekend.

Although I will figure it out eventually, perhaps you can comment -- if you have time:

1) Does the program write to the Windows registry?

2) mp3Gain writes (if I remember correctly) to APE tags.  Could those be affected/corrupted in any way through use of jampal?

Once again, thanks for helping me out on this one.

John

 You can download my program Jampal ( http://jampal.sf.net ). This
creates a library from your mp3 files. The library can be customized to
contain any combination of mp3 frames you specify. The libraray is a
file with extension jmp and is a csv (comma separated text file)
encoded with UTF-8. If you can read a comma separated file this can do
what you want. Also there is a command line program included with
Jampal, TagUpdate, which can print the full contents of tags, also can
update them. The print output would have to be parsed to be usable for
importing to SQL.
