1To install mp3mover on any unix based system simply run the file
2install.sh. For Windows copy the program somewhere to your path where your
3perl can find it.
4
5The module ID3::Tag is supplied with mp3mover.pl now, however, you may need to
6install the module yourself if the supplied modules don't work on your system.
7To do this simply download the module MP3::Tag from cpan.perl.org and follow
8the installation instructions for that module.
9
10Masks to use for the directory/filename/id3 title structure are read from
11~/.mp3moverrc
12
13See the comments in the file sample-.mp3moverrc for a description of how these
14are set. Sensible defaults will be used if this file doesn't exist. Command lineoptions can also be set in this file. Again see the sample file for
15instructions.
16
17To use simply run mp3mover -h to see if there are any command line options you
18wish to set. Then change to the directory containing the mp3s you wish to sort
19out and run!
20
21I've added a gui. In order for this to work gui-mp3mover.pm must be in the same
22directory as mp3mover.pl. If you wish to run mp3mover in the old command-line
23mode then simply run it with the -p option or with this option in .mp3moverrc.
24It shouldn't be too hard to work out. That's the point of GUIs right?

28it saves me a hell of a lot of time anyway.

31Details about how the script works you can probably safely ignore:
32
33- When using the -r option to specify the artist, if the mp3 doesn't contain
34an artist, then the artist is inserted, rather than the first undelimited thing
35being replaced by the specified artist. However, if the mp3 is fully named
36(with artist, album and title <and perhaps song number too, but not
37necessarily>) in this case the artist will be replaced by the artist which you
38specify.
39
40- The script behaves similary when using the -a option to set the album.
