= GrokItunes
== DESCRIPTION:
- A regex based parser that processes the ITunes Music Library.xml file and generates a sqlite3 database for additional data mining. Also generates treemaps from data parsed.
== FEATURES/PROBLEMS:
- NOTE: I don't use the RMagick dependencies in Treemap
- TODO: Adding GnuPlot support in on the radar
- TODO: Autocolorize treemap html files
- TODO: Add md5sum signatures to parser ( smart updating of sqlite3 db )
- TODO: Smart duplicate track detection
- TODO: Genre out of sync analysis ( album has multuple genres )
- TODO: Missing file analysis
- TODO: Disk usage per top-level library directories
- TODO: Become a better meta-programmer and consolidate SQL queries proper
