I really like what you are doing! This is/was the inspiration behind  
me writing pimpmytunes, which I haven't gotten around to finishing  
yet. I firmly believe that lucene is an awesome tool for mass tagging  
tracks that have a reasonable amount of metadata.

I would very much like to encourage you to keep hacking on this and  
bring it to a state where people can download it easily without  
having to follow a lot of instructions. That's always the hard part  
(and exactly where I left off working on pimpmytunes).

Press on!!
