=head1 NAME

   sortsamples - a cmdline utility to easify sample organizing without organizing :)

=head1 SYNOPSIS

   This utility solves the problem of having many samplecd/samplelibrary-directories with each having
   kick,hihat,snare-etc folders. 

=head1 DESCRIPTION

   With many sampledirectories, you ll be slapped around many directories hunting
   for kicks/hihats etc. This utility creates symbolic links to directories which are similar.
   This way, you can have all your kick directories next to eachothers and so on.


=head1 WHY

   External Sampleorganizing utilities can also become a pain in the ass,
   because usually your DAW also has a samplebrowser in it. It would be nice to have structure at the 
   source: the filesystem.
	 
	 This is a crazy effort to combine similar folders and categorize automatically :)

=head1 EXAMPLES

Examples: 

		$ ls -la
		total 31152
		drwxrwxrwx 1 root root      4096 Jul 25 17:52 .
		drwxrwxrwx 1 root root     36864 Jul 10 10:15 ..
		drwxrwxrwx 1 root root      4096 Jul 24 22:40 samplecd
		-rwxr-xr-x 1 sqz  users     6669 Jul 25 17:52 sortsamples
		$ mkdir sorted-by-tag
		$ sudo ./sortsamples sort-dry samplecd sorted-by-tag ../../
		[x] preparing.. *drumrolls*
		[x] scanning samplecd/Blutonium hardstyle vol 2/BASSDRUM...tagged with 'kick'!
		[x] scanning samplecd/Blutonium hardstyle vol 2/BASSLINE...tagged with 'bass'!
		[x] scanning samplecd/Blutonium hardstyle vol 2/FX...tagged with 'fx'!

		^C  (interrupted by CTRL-c, because it looks good..lets make it so)

		$ sudo ./sortsamples sort samplecd sorted-by-tag ../../
		[x] preparing.. *drumrolls*
		[x] scanning samplecd/Blutonium hardstyle vol 2/BASSDRUM...tagged with 'kick'!
		[x] scanning samplecd/Blutonium hardstyle vol 2/BASSLINE...tagged with 'bass'!
		[x] scanning samplecd/Blutonium hardstyle vol 2/FX...tagged with 'fx'!

		.. and so on!
