Foggy frosty morning here on the top of Daisy Hill. Here's the view from my basement office.
The morning reminded me of the Foggy Mountain Boys and in the process of searching for them I ran across some other Foggy items:
Foggy Mountain Dog Coats
Foggy Mountain guide service (arranges discreet meetings between you and bears...)
The best Australian blues CD by a woman in a decade...
In the process I found a bug of sorts with iTunes...or would it be a music industry bug? iTunes preserves the names of songs as it turns them into files. Well, one of my CDs has the unfortunate name of "...To the power of three" which, if you are familiar with unix, means it's a hidden file. The finder in OSX doesn't show the directory, but iTunes sees it no problem (drove me nuts for a while).
Even if you don't use/need my script it is fun to play around with the MP3::Info module. I haven't tested this hypothesis, but I think iTunes must be storing the disc ID into an ID3 tag area when it can't get a CDDB connection. This would make it easy to later look up the CDDB Info and "add" the tag info without much effort.
(time passes...) Yep, that's what they are doing. iTunes stores the CDDB "keys" in a COMMENT array within an otherwise almost empty ID3 tag. Clever.
