This software is pre-beta. Though it currently provides most of the functionality and can certainly be useful, it is far from complete and some functionality may not work as expected. Also, it is not tested yet on a large number of platforms. The documentation is nearly complete.

MP3Wharf is a an mp3 file management system. It consists of a definition for a database table and a Java frontend for inserting, viewing and updating the contents of the table. It offers a fast way to organize large collections of mp3 files, located on a large number of different media (like a bunch of cd's). The frontend is very loosely coupled to the underlying database, so it is no problem to change the databse with any other database administration tool.

It contains tools to make subcollections of you collection and quickly collect those files to your harddisk, while renaming and retagging the files according to the information in your database. Information from the database is viewed in spreadsheet-like tables, where you can quickly copy/paste information from one record to another, retag files on your disk, send files top your player, etc.

MP3Wharf is not specially targeted at the novice user. The strength of this software is that its is targeted at the more database experienced user and offers useful tool s for them. It is most useful if you know your way around databases and know a bit of SQL.

MP3Wharf is written in Java, It is therefore platform independent and database server independent. It will work on any platform with a Java Virtual Machine and with any database server that has a JDBC driver. If you do not have a database server installed, you can use HSQL db as a 'built in' database server.

This software uses several third-party libraries, such as several JDBC drivers, vdheide, mp3info and jd3lib ID3 packages, HSQL database engine.
