It uses the packages MP3::Info and MP3::Tag, both from CPAN. It's not integrated in a file manager, but it's close enough... If anyone is interested, I can post or mail the script.

If you don't mind sharing your script, it'd be best if you post it here or in the original thread so that anyone who comes across these threads looking for something similar will find the answer.
