Command line tool to recursively search drive for music?

[Dannymh]

Hi,

I am building a web-based jukebox for my home jukebox. Whilst I can use the iTunes library.xml to grab basically what I need.

I would prefer to use another tool to do the file searching and include them into my application.

I am just wondering whether there is a dos script or command line tool out there that I can use to recursively search a given drive or directory for all MP3 files and gather the information of song name, artist, album etc and then place them either in a CSV, XML or into a database.

Does anyone know of any free tools that will do this?

cheers
Dan

dir *.mp3 /b /r > musiclist.dat

look for all mp3 files
/b is bare format
/r is recurse
> musiclist.dat means send the output to the file musiclist.dat

Or I put together an excel spreadsheet a while back that does that as well.
