QUEES

Release 1.1


What is this?

Quees is a small extension to your KDE desktop which makes identifying
songs a snap.  Once installed, you can right-click a MP3 or Ogg Vorbis
song, then click "Which song is it?", and Konqueror will open a new
window pointing to the song in the MusicBrainz database.  You can also
use the "quees" command line program, as in "quees Track01.mp3".


How does this work?

Quees works by calculating a special sum which has a very high
probability of matching only a single song.  Then it goes to the
MusicBrainz Web site and submits the sum so MusicBrainz can tell
you which song is it.


What does this require?

A small program called TRM (which will require the MusicBrainz
libraries, a.k.a. libmusicbrainz).  Do a quick search on RPMFind,
or use your distribution's favorite package manager to get and
install them.  Alternatively, you can go to the MusicBrainz site
http://www.musicbrainz.org and download it there.


How do I install it?

Use the install script provided with this release.  If someone can
take the time to make a working RPM spec file, please send it to me.


Who's the author?

Manuel Amador (Rudd-O) - that's me.  It's a quick hack, but I hope
you find it useful.  Contact me at rudd-o@amautacorp.com.
