This is a short ARexx script I wrote. It searches through a directory
that contains ID files for CeeD, MCDPlayer, OptyCDPlayer or compatible,
and sets all relating file comments to Artist and CD-Title. Now you can
easily locate a CD file by its file comment.

The comment format is:  <Artist>: <CD-Title>  . Note that all quotation
marks will be stripped!


USAGE:

 - Change into the directory where ID files are located.
 - Enter  rx FixCDID.readme
 - Wait and see what happens :-)


NOTE THAT:

 - non-ID files are skipped
 - all ID file names are converted to upper case
 - even existing file comments will be replaced!
 - OptyCDPlayer packet ID files will be assimilated


NEW:

 - The ID files of OptyCDPlayer were a little bit different. Instead
   of the artist, most ID files contain the ID number. FixCDID now
   recognizes these files, and assimilate them into the collective! :)
 - Strips comment length to 79 chars, to avoid filenote warnings.


DISCLAIMER:

  This script is Public Domain. You can use and/or abuse it as you deem
  necessary, but you also bare the full risk! Don't blame me if all files
  on your partition are renamed or deleted... :)


Please feel free to send me an e-mail about what you think of FixCDID.

Have fun!
