Sounds interesting, but maybe a bit complicated for a short 60 minute session. I know from experience that when presenting on this kind of thing, constructing a single, basic dialog box can take an hour by the time you've tweaked it, implemented all the call-backs, etc. Finally, easytag does just about everything you mention here, including converting directory names and file names to tags (scanning). At least it has become the standard tool for doing dealing with id3 tags on a mass scale. It's very slick, check it out. -------------------- BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ The opinions expressed in this message are the responsibility of their author.
