Sorry, maybe I wasn't very clear in my original email.  I have a
tendency to waffle.

I have knowledge of shell scripting and with programming various
languages (both interpreted and compiled) and I know about the
existence of various transcode tools and libraries and tag reading and
writing tools and libraries.  I was going to write a python script to
monitor the relevant directories (perhaps with inotify or whatever it
is called or just polling) and then spawn various transcode or tags
tools or libraries as required.  I thought I'd see if anyone had any
hints for frameworks or tools that would make this easier than rolling
my own.
