mkfreedb - Windows freedb database generator
This is a public beta test of mkfreedb 0.16. Although it proofs to be stable use it at your own risk/disk.
For those who never read docs:
- Download mkfreedb_0.16b_win32.zip (41kB) and unpack it.
- Goto freedb ftp and download the latest freedb-complete-XXXXXXXX.tar.bz2 (~500MB)
- Put mkfreedb.exe and the big file somewhere where you have 3GB of free space. (Make sure the filenames are unchanged!)
- Double click mkfreedb.exe and go and drink a coffee.
For those who read docs:
What's new?
- Fixed: DB version test now only checks for matching release month to avoid conflicts between XXXXXX04 full releases and XXXXXX01 updates.
- Fixed: Now also accepts browser altered archive filenames having the first '.' changed to an '_', i.e. freedb-complete-20070101_tar.bz2.
- Added: New option -n or --nolink, surpresses repeated entries in the target database for all symlinked freedb records.
- Changed: Release archive naming to reflect the target platform.
Feedback
- Please post your experience in the mkfreedb 0.16 thread in the freedb forum
