Audio-Digest-MP3 version 0.10 ============================= Sometimes you want to know if you have duplicate MP3 files on your disks. But as soon as you start editing the ID3 tags, the file contents changes, and you can no longer trust a plain MD5 checksum on the file, nor the file size, to compare them. This module scans the MP3 file, only including the audio stream (undecoded!) to calculate the message digest. While it scans, it compiles more metadata about the file, such as playing time, either in seconds or as formatted string, bitrate (in kbits/sec), stream size in bytes, and whether the file is a CBR or a VBR file. In short: lots of info that you can use to compare MP3 files, but excluding any info coming out of the ID3 tags. INSTALLATION To install this module type the following: perl Makefile.PL make make test make install DEPENDENCIES This module requires these other modules and libraries: MPEG::Audio::Frame Digest Digest::MD5 -- default Digest::SHA1 -- if you want a SHA1 style digest instead of MD5 COPYRIGHT AND LICENCE Bart Lateur, Copyright (C) 2006-2009 by Bart Lateur This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the same terms as Perl itself, either Perl version 5.6.0 or, at your option, any later version of Perl 5 you may have available.
