Neon Goat MP3 Report Generator
------------------------------

A customizable program to scan a list of (sub)directories, creating a report
from an HTML template. Also calculates various statistics and each song's
playing time. Supports ID3 and ID3v2 tags. Should work on any perl-ized OS;
see homepage for demo (http://mp3report.sourceforge.net).


Configuring
-----------

All options can be configured through the command line, see mp3report.pl --help
for more info. You may also want to modify the hard coded defaults at the
top of the program file.

See documentation.html for information on customizing your own template file.

Installing mp3report
--------------------

You should be able to run mp3report.pl directly after decompressing it:

tar xfzv mp3report-1.0.2.tar.gz
cd mp3report-1.0.2
./mp3report.pl --help

If your perl interpreter isn't in /usr/bin/perl, you'll need to change the first line
of mp3report.pl

If you'd like to install the MP3::Info perl module so that other programs can
use it, it is available at http://search.cpan.org/search?dist=MP3-Info.

Of course, much thanks to Chris Nandor and contributors to MP3::Info... 
it saved me a lot of time :) And to Larry Wall for such a great language.
