Perl Empeg tools

The standard tool for uploading files to the Empeg / RioCar (emptool) is pretty limited. Empeg::Emptool is a Perl wrapper providing a simple API for scripting emptool operations.

empegload is the tool I use to upload MP3 files. It requires that the files have ID3 tags. It will upload them to:

/artists/$ALPHA_SPLIT/$ARTIST/$ALBUM/$TITLE

ALPHA_SPLIT is a directory such as A-F, depending on the first letter of the MP3 (this behaviour is configurable by editing the script).

Download: Empeg.pm, empegload

empegload requires the MP3::ID3v1Tag module, available from CPAN.
