NAME
       sorune -- a Neuros database manager

SYNOPSIS
       sorune [command]

DESCRIPTION
       This manual page documents briefly the sorune tool.

       This  manual  page  was written for the Debian distribution because the
       original program does not have a manual page.  Instead, it has documen-
       tation   in   a   README   file,   which   should  be  located  in  the
       /usr/share/doc/sorune directory on Debian.

       sorune is a tool to manage the database on the Neuros Audio player.  It
       is  written  entirely  in Perl, which makes it highly portable.  sorune
       does not keep a local copy of any of  the  metadata  about  the  user's
       audio  library on the host machine.  The Neuros database is manipulated
       directly, which eliminates the need to identify  each  Neorus  backpack
       that is connected to the host machine.
