Rapid Evolution Users

Hey,

Is anyone interested in an app that will take the tracks you key using RE and copy it to another directory and the respective subdirectories?

I know that's not a clear question so I'll give an example:

The music I buy from beatport is stored in a dir called ..\\Beatport
The folder that I use to store all my music, keyed and ready to play is ..\\DJ Music\

Inside DJ Music, there are subdirectories based on Key 8A-Am..10A-Bm,etc..

Also the tracks in my DJ Music directory are renamed:
(key) (bpm) artist - title (remix)

What my app currently does is open up a RE XML file, parse it.
You select the date ranges that you want to copy, press a button and it copies the files to the destination directory, splits up the files into their respective subdirectories and does a partial rename of just adding the (key) (bpm), since I don't trust ID3 tags, I chose to do the song renaming myself.

Is anyone interested in an app like this?
If so, I'd make it more customizable and add features based on your guys requests.

Thanks

(This app is built in Java, I know it works on OS X, should work the same on Windows)

edit: Changed it to do renaming based on ID3 tag
