MusicBrainz::DiscID is a class to calculate a MusicBrainz DiscID
from an audio CD in the drive. The coding style is slightly different
to the C interface to libdiscid, because it makes use of perl's
Object Oriented functionality.
eyeD3 is a Python tool for working with audio files, specifically
mp3 files containing ID3 metadata (i.e. song info).
It provides a command-line tool (``eyeD3``) and a Python library
(``import eyed3``) that can be used to write your own applications
or plugins that are callable from the command-line tool.

shine is a blazing fast mp3 encoding library implemented in
fixed-point arithmetic. The library can thus be used to performe
super fast mp3 encoding on architectures without a FPU, such as
`armel`, etc.. It is also, however, also super fast on architectures
with a FPU!
for Solaris and IRIX; we ship cdrom code for BSD, so theoretically we
could also ship cdrom code for other platforms if anyone wanted to get
it working. Hence, report it broken on those platforms instead of
skipping it.
platforms, just leave it off. If this doesn't build on IRIX, OSF/1, or
whatever and anyone actually cares about testing and documenting that,
add BROKEN_ON_PLATFORM or NOT_FOR_PLATFORM as appropriate.
2014-12-21 - libopenmpt 0.2-beta9
[Bug] libopenmpt_ext.hpp was missing from the Windows binary
zip files.
2014-12-21 - libopenmpt 0.2-beta8

settings.
Autotools based build now supports libunmo3. Specify âenable-unmo3.

libopenmpt now uses libltld (from libtool) for dynamic loading
of libunmo3 on all non-Windows platforms.
Support for older compilers:
GCC 4.1.x to 4.3.x (use make ANCIENT=1)
Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 (with latest Service Pack)
(see build/vs2008)
libopenmpt_ext.hpp is now distributed by default. The API is
still considered experimental and not guaranteed to stay API

whole bunch of new functionality to change playback in some
way or another.
Added possibility to sync sample playback when using
openmpt::module::set_position_* by setting the ctl value
seek.sync_samples=1
Support for "hidden" subsongs has been added. They are accessible
through the same interface as ordinary subsongs, i.e. use
openmpt::module::select_subsong to switch between any kind of
subsongs.
All subsongs can now be played consecutively by passing -1 as
the subsong index in openmpt::module::select_subsong.
Added documentation for a couple of more functions.

* A sort tags plugin is now provided as tag data is no longer
displayed sorted by default.

tracks by multiple artists (in order to prepend the artist name
to the filename as shown in the default file naming script)
* autodetect the CD drive on Mac OS X (PICARD-123)
* Ignore directories and files while indexing when show_hidden_files
option is set to False (PICARD-528)
* Add ignore_regex option which allows one to ignore matching paths,
can be set in Options > Advanced (PICARD-528)

one in Jaikoz, which contains the individual artist names from the
artist credit. Also useful in scripts (joining phrases like 'feat:'
are omitted) and plugins.
* Added "_artists_sort", "_albumartists", "_albumartists_sort"
variables for scripts and plugins.
* Made Picard use the country names also used on the MusicBrainz
website (PICARD-205)

Metadata / Prefered Releases settings for Country and Format.

multi-disc releases without a disc number)

* Add optional `priority` parameter to
`register_album_metadata_processor()` and
`register_track_metadata_processor()` Default priority is

`PluginPriority.LOW` will run last
