- 0. What's new ?
-
- V1.10 [MAJOR UPDATE]
-
- New options : - 3 ways of sorting a list : * by the file name
- * by the TAG's songname
- * by the TAG's author
- - the Album TAG Mode : it allows you to TAG all MP3s of one
- album without having to reenter the author, album title ...
- - it can rename a file automatically using the songname of
- the TAG
- - it only displays the used fields of a TAG (that's to say,
- if the TAG has comment, it won't prompt "Comment :"
- - it has a Multiple Volume Mode (that's to say, you can list
- several CDs, Zips or whatever you have :)
- - it can print dots instead of white spaces (...... 03:18)
-
- Improvements : - the way of editing TAGs is really better
- - it can wisely truncate path+name to fit 66 characters
- (by printing a [...] in the middle of the line, so you
- have the complete name of the file)
- - the Force Mode can replace a file
- (you can use MPTool -F dh1:strangefile.mp3)
- - the Genres List can be sorted by name or number
- - the Genres List has been updated (145 genres)
-
- Bug fixes : - no more stack problem
- - it can use a genre number > 127
- - it should be a little faster
-
- V1.11 [minor update]
-
- Improvements : - it should detect more MPEG files
-
- Bug fixes : - the total duration is displayed when using the comment option
-
- V1.12 [very minor update]
-
- Bug fixes : - while editing the 1.11, I added a stupid bug ... sorry
- the TAG reader is now fine, like in the 1.10 :)
-
-
- 1. Introduction :
-
- Purpose : It lists, adds TAGs, edits TAGs, converts, cleans, gives
- the duration of your MP3 (MPEG Audio) files.
-
- Release date : 11.09.98
-
- Distribution : It's free :) (you can't ask money for it)
- C source available if you ask it :)
-
-
- 2. Installation :
-
- Copy the MPTool file wherever you like ...
- Copy the genre file (MPTool.Genres) in c: or in the current directory
-
- in DOpus ( © J. Potter ) : MPTool -RL {F}
- or MPTool -RLC {F} if you want some comments
-
- 3. How does it work ?
-
- It uses the same way of calculating MP3 length than Stephane Tavenard's MPEGA
- ( hope it works fine ;) since I have no doc on how to classify MPEGs ...
-
- MPTool scans dirs (files or volumes), selects MPEG files and calculates the
- duration of those files. When it has finished his job, it gives you the total
- duration of ALL files it has listed ...
-
- It can scan your whole hard disk to find MPEG files !!
-
- That's one of its 23 options ...
