hello,

I'm desperately looking for a checksum tool with the following features:

- create checksums of a certain folder (recursive scan!) and save them in a *.xml database or whatever

- being able to automatically compare the checksums listed in the .*xml file with the ones of a certain folder

- the entries of the *.xml file shouldn't be tied to the exact same folder location, because I'd like verify if my backup files on a CD still match with the ones on my hard drive (or a second backup CD)

- hashes taken from mp3 files are based on their audio information only (optional)

I've been looking for a tool like that forever without any luck so far. Any idea?

thanks

Does it have to be an XML file?

no, not really. It was more like an example

What do you think about http://www.md5summer.org/ ?

looks pretty cool. Thanks
