AnyData::Format::Mp3(3pm)				User Contributed Perl Documentation				 AnyData::Format::Mp3(3pm)

NAME

       AnyData::Format::Mp3 - tied hash and DBI access to Mp3 files

SYNOPSIS

	use AnyData;
	my $playlist = adTie( 'Passwd', ['c:/My Music/'] );
	while (my $song = each %$playlist){
	   print $song->{artist} if $song->{genre} eq 'Reggae'
	}

	OR

	use DBI
	my $dbh = DBI->connect('dbi:AnyData:');
	$dbh->func('playlist','Mp3,['c:/My Music'],'ad_catalog');
	my $playlist = $dbh->selectall_arrayref( qq{
	    SELECT artist, title FROM playlist WHERE genre = 'Reggae'
	});
	# ... other DBI/SQL operations

DESCRIPTION

       This module provides a tied hash interface and a DBI/SQL interface to MP files.	It creates an in-memory database or hash from the Mp3
       files themselves without actually creating a separate database file.  This means that the database is automatically updated just by moving
       files in or out of the directories.

       Many mp3 (mpeg three) music files contain a header describing the song name, artist, and other information about the music.

       Simply choose 'Mp3' as the format and give a reference to an array of directories containing mp3 files.	Each file in those directories
       will become a record containing the fields:

	song
	artist
	album
	year
	genre
	filename
	filesize

       This module is a submodule of the AnyData.pm and DBD::AnyData.pm modules.  Refer to their documentation for further details.
