# ALLTAG - MP3 retagging utility
# Copyleft 2005 - Nathan E. Pralle
#
# DESCRIPTION: This utility sets an MP3's ID3 tag as a derivative
# of the file name. It expects file names to be in the form:
# ARTIST - SONGNAME.mp3
# It can handle full pathnames easily as well.
#
# SYNTAX: ls *.mp3 | perl alltag.pl
# I prefer to work up an entire listing of all MP3 files I want
# to retag and run them through all at once, a la:
# find | grep \.mp3 | perl alltag.pl
#
# REQUIRED: You must have id3ed installed on your system to do the
# actual tagging. (Get it from freshmeat.net)
#
