Cleaning up ogg/mp3 collection (tags, filenames) with lltag

Over years, my music collection started to get annoyingly inconsistent (file names, tags, etc). I wrote two scripts to clean it up, in the form maindir/MusicGenre/Band/Album/songs. The first one identifies albums from files, the second one does the actual job, as lltag wrapper. The point of doing it in two distinct scripts is to separate the part where user input is needed and the part that requires none but takes most CPU time.

Considering there’s an initial directory that contains a subdirectory for each music album that must be sorted out :

• cleanup-music-directory-01-identify.pl writes a import file (containing style|band|year|album, only the year being optional) in each subdirectory, according to your input. You’ll notably have to select a music genre.
• cleanup-music-directory-02-rename.pl reads import files and then uses lltag to do the actual job – renaming and updating tags. Best is to run in –debug mode first that will only show the proposed changes without altering anything yet; if some of your files lack the TITLE tag, it can get messy.

These two scripts must be edited first (paths to the collection and user supposedly to retain ownership of the files).
