Short: V3.0 - HTML listings of your MP3 files!
Author: Gareth Griffiths <mail@gazchap.com>
Uploader: Gareth Griffiths <mail@gazchap.com>
Version: 3.0
Type: mus/misc
MP3-2-HTML scans through a directory of your choice and generates an
attractive (and configurable) HTML listing of all MP3 files it finds, using
the ID3 tags that can be embedded into MP3s.
Now in its third major revision, MP3-2-HTML has become something far better
than it was designed to be, thanks to the feedback and suggestions from the
Amiga community. It is this that has made me keep the program as MAILWARE
instead of making the move to shareware.
But remember, I won't say no if you want to send me the princely sum of £5
(UK Pounds) for my hard work over the last three years!

VERSION HISTORY:
> 3.0 (18.04.2002)
New Features:
- Localisation. Users of the program can now translate all
text strings into their native language and use them.
- Enhanced link generation:
- Sizes can now be displayed in bytes, kilobytes, or megabytes.
- The NOID3 argument from previous versions (and the No
ID3 Count feature) has been removed, and is replaced by the
%n placeholder that was added in this version.
- More placeholders to put in page titles.
- New preferences file system, more readable.
Bug Fixes/Tweaks:
- Directory scanning code optimised, as well as other
smaller bits of code.
> 2.97.2 (22.03.2002)
Bug Fixes/Tweaks:
- Some drives (especially CD-ROM's and other removable
media) were causing "Directory does not exist!" errors.
This should now be fixed.
> 2.97 (11.02.2002)
New Features:
- There is now another progress bar in the progress window
(when using the MUI interface) that gives more information
into what is currently happening.
- The MP3 sorting routine has been changed and is now
dramatically faster. Creating a list from my MP3 directory
takes 91 seconds (just over a minute and a half!) using
the last release (2.96.2) and that is on a 50MHz 68060!
This release takes just 20 seconds to do the same!
Bug Fixes/Tweaks:
- Albums are now sorted, I forgot about this in 2.96.2!
- Hashes (#) are now put in front of all colour codes in the
HTML. This was causing some problems with older browsers.
> 2.96.2 (09.02.2002)
Bug Fixes/Tweaks:
- Thousand separators weren't inserted into some entries for
some reason. This is now fixed.
- Not so much a fix, more a tweak. The sorting speed has
been slightly improved.
> 2.96 (08.02.2002)
New Features:
- You can now opt not to include the Sizes column in the
HTML file if you don't want it there!
- You can now have the Album field from the ID3 tags listed
next to the artist.
- You can now tell MP3-2-HTML to number each MP3 file on the
HTML page.
- You now have the option of showing the total number of
MP3's that don't contain any ID3 tags, on the HTML page.
- The sizes now have thousands separators inserted to
enhance readability.
- Page title handling is improved. Any <br> HTML tags (line
breaks) will be converted to hyphens for the browser's
title bar.
Bug Fixes/Tweaks:
- Tweaked the program code to execute faster, especially
whilst generating the HTML file.
- Creating more than one HTML file in the same session
always used the date from the first file. This is now
fixed.
> 2.93 (14.03.2001)
New Features:
- The program now uses ASL file requesters instead of
ReqTools.
- Your settings can now be saved for future use.
- Changed the version numbering system. No letters now.
Bug Fixes:
- Pressing Cancel in MUI file requesters no longer causes
the program to exit.
- Using the file requester to select an output file no
longer shortens the path to 24 characters.
- Creating more than one file per session doesn't join the
page titles together any more.
> 2.90.2 (05.03.2001)
Bug Fixes/Tweaks:
- The AmigaDOS lock on the output file is now unlocked after
the file is created, not after the program is closed.
> 2.90 (19.02.2001)
New Features:
- Integrated the separate MUI and CLI versions into one.
Bug Fixes/Tweaks:
- Tweaked and optimised the HTML output.
- Both versions now scan directories recursively.
> 2.4 CLI (20.08.2000)
New Features:
- Recursive directory scanning is now working!
- Added LINKS option to generate local links to MP3 files.
- Added an error counter.
- More informative CLI output.
Bug Fixes/Tweaks:
- If the selected directory contained no MP3 files, the
program tried to list them anyway. This has been fixed.
- If you did not select an input directory/output file, the
program continued anyway and then failed. This has been
fixed, it now aborts straight away if you don't select one
or the other.
> 2.3 (02.08.2000)
New Features:
- Configurable page titles and headers.
- MUI and CLI versions are now in the same distribution.
Bug Fixes/Tweaks:
- Tidied up HTML output - its now valid HTML 4.0.
> 2.2 MUI (24.05.2000)
New Features:
- The MUI interface is back again.
- Colour scheme of HTML file is now configurable.
- The page title is now configurable.
- Option to make local links to MP3 files.
- Various CLI parameters have been added.
> 2.1 CLI (18.05.2000)
New Features:
- The program code was re-written from scratch.
- Not so much a feature, but the MUI interface is gone for
now.
- Now does not use an external database, it reads
information directly from the ID3 tags of the MP3.
Bug Fixes/Tweaks:
- Neither a bug, tweak, or a new feature. But the page title
is now no longer configurable (yet, anyway)
> 2.0 MUI (13.05.2000)
New Features:
- Complete re-write of the program code. As a result, some
features from the old versions are currently missing.
- Added an MUI interface. All previous versions were CLI
only.
- Easier handling of CLI parameters. Now they can be
specified in any order.
