mkat details:

mkat is a set of <a class="zem_slink" title="Command-line interface" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Command-line_interface">command line tools to burn, catalog <a class="zem_slink" title="Data" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data">data CD/<a class="zem_slink" title="DVD" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVD">DVD, <a class="zem_slink" title="Compact Disc" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compact_Disc">audio CDs and then search the catalog <a class="zem_slink" title="Database" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Database">database, e.g. check whether you have a certain file or audio CD in your collection. Tags can be used to categorize CDs, e.g. <a class="zem_slink" title="Comedy" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comedy">comedy, <a class="zem_slink" title="Drama" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drama">drama, etc. Audio CD support is very rudimentary though.

I use this program to catalogue my DVD&#8217;s and CD&#8217;s but the issue with that is that it is un-necessarily slow in doing the <a class="zem_slink" title="Library catalog" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Library_catalog">cataloguing. It does a <a class="zem_slink" title="Md5sum" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Md5sum">md5sum for all the files which is of not much use to me. How to overcome this. Create a file called md5sum and change the permissions to <a class="zem_slink" title="Executable" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executable">executable. Just put something like

echo &#8221;File&#8221;

and put the path of this file in the PATH variable in the begining and you are done.
