1. INTRODUCTION
===============

Welcome to MP3Diags-unstable v1.5.02 port for OS/2 and eComStation.

MP3 Diags is a Qt GUI-based application that allows end-users to identify issues with their MP3 files, 
fix some of the issues and make other changes, like adding track information. 
It also lets you "look inside" an MP3 file.
It looks at both the audio part (VBR info, quality, normalization) and the tags containing track information (ID3.)
MP3 Diags has a tag editor, which can download album information (including cover art) from MusicBrainz and Discogs, 
as well as paste data from the clipboard. Track information can also be extracted from a file's name.
Another component is the file renamer, which can rename files based on the fields in their ID3V2 tag 
(artist, track number, album, genre, ...)

2. REQUIREMENTS

  The following requirements can be installed by rpm.
