I have just released mp3tofid 2.00 which can be downloaded through riocar.org

It's almost completely rewritten since the initial version 1.00.
The biggest differences I can think of now are

  • creation of player database (database, playlists and tags)
  • hence no longer dependent on Emplode
  • built using libid3tag instead of id3lib
  • hence now written in plain C rather than pseudo C++
  • compensation support for broken second drives (mine was during development)
  • speed improvements

Unfortunately, the FID's created by this release are not compatible with the previous version, which will make rsync do a complete upload after switching to this release of mp3tofid.

There's no cygwin (ie. Windows) port for this release; it turns out the symbolic link emulation in cygwin is very adequate, but the inode emulation is not, and will require extra coding. I decided to release what I have now, and postpone the Windows port to a future release.
