Overview

This manual page documents briefly the mp3insert command. This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

mp3insert allows one to insert songs into a MySQL database for use by ddj(1). It is usually not used on its own, but instead as the backend of grip(1).
