lltag is a frontend to tag (and rename) mp3/ogg/flac files automagically.

See http://bgoglin.free.fr/lltag/ for details.

lltag installation instructions

You don't care about this if you use Debian or Gentoo or any other distribution that includes prepackaged lltag versions.

Run 'make' followed by 'make install' as root. Both command-lines must use the same variables for configuring installation paths.

By default, everything is installed in /usr/local/. Most directories might be changed by overriding their default values on the command-line. For instance, a traditional installation (binary in /usr/bin, data in /usr/share, and configuration in /etc) might be achieved with:

$ make PREFIX=/usr SYSCONFDIR=/etc MANDIR=/usr/share/man $ make install PREFIX=/usr SYSCONFDIR=/etc MANDIR=/usr/share/man

If you don't want or can't install as root, you may use $ make PREFIX=/home/login/where/you/want $ make install PREFIX=/home/login/where/you/want

Note that 'make uninstall' (with same options) allows to uninstall.

lltag requirements

lltag theoretically only requires Perl base to work. However, depending on what type of files you want to work on, you'll need to install either the Perl MP3::Tag module (for MP3 files) or mp3info (for MP3 files, without ID3v2 support), vorbiscomment (for OGG) or metaflac (for FLAC). Additionally, when using CDDB features, LWP (the libwww-perl module) is required. These dependencies are automatically installed when installing Debian or Gentoo prepackaged versions, or at least recommended.

lltag may also benefit from a smart readline perl library when the user edits the tags by hand. The recommended library is Term::ReadLine::Gnu (also called GNU Readline Library Wrapper Module) which provides great inline editing and GNU history features. Term::ReadLine::Perl may also be used but it might not be able to save the history between two lltag invocation.
