MP3 Jukebox-Tk

What Is It?
MP3 Jukebox-Tk is an organizer/jukebox for local mp3 collections. It sorts your mp3 files by band and presents a jukebox style interface to let you choose which ones to play. It then passes these off to XMMS for playing. It also keeps stats on what you listen to, and can use those stats to generate a weighted random playlist for you. Non-weighted (truly random) playlists are also available.

As of release 09022001, Windows is supported (with WinAmp).

What Do I Need To Use It?
Perl comes installed by default on most Linux systems. If you don't have it, visit www.perl.com
TK comes installed by default on Mandrake Linux 7.2 and others. If you don't have Tk, you can get it by running (as root) 
perl -MCPAN -e 'install Bundle::Tk'

MP3::ID3v1Tag can be had by running, as root, 
perl -MCPAN -e 'install MP3::ID3v1Tag'

MLDBM comes with many Linux distros by default. If you need it, run (as root) 
 perl -MCPAN -e 'install MLDBM'

XMMS comes installed by default on most Linux systems. It can be had by going to www.xmms.org

Windows users will need WinAmp instead of XMMS. The necessary Perl modules can be had using the Perl Package Manager (PPM) that comes with the Activestate Perl for Windows distibution.
