Hi There !

I am triyng to use Telllico to manage my music collection.
The problem is I don't want to type each audio file mannually.
Rather than I want to write a script to scan my music folder and using the information on the folder where an album is saved and information from each file on that folder, build up several entries in Tellico database (yeh, not a database at all, its more like a XML big file)
So, I would ask if there is some tool/script that I can use as starting point or a API of any kind (DBUS ?) that I can use to do this task.

I appreciate any comments on this,
cheers,

Tellico does have built-in functionality to scan music files and read the metadata.

There are a handful of scripts that you could look at for ideas or starting points.
