| Ordered CDs |
cdlabelgen is a fine Perl program that generates CD inserts from a list
of files.
Unfortunately, the program doesn't support searching the internet for
a known album. There is graphical front-end solution out there. I am
more of a command line kind of guy; therefore, I have added CDDB
support to cdlabelgen and satisfy that "programmer's itch".
You will need to install the CDDB_get library from CPAN. If you are
running Debian the following command will do nicely: apt-get install
libcddb-get-perl.
Next install cdlabelgen: apt-get install cdlabelgen.
You can now use my script to generate CD labels automatically. Use the
new switch -u to enable CDDB lookup: cdlabelgen -u -D -o cdinserts.ps.
In case you are wondering, the -D switch takes out the date.
Note that you need to use the -o switch as when you query the CDDB
database it may give you multiple choices of albums title. If you were
redirecting the standard output you would end up with the program
being stuck.
I have put up a sample output so that you get an idea of what the inserts look like.
