NAME¶
qmp3report - report mp3 files and directories
SYNOPSIS¶
qmp3report [
option]...
file...
DESCRIPTION¶
qmp3report reads mp3 files or directories containing mp3 files and gives
information about them.
qmp3report can output the reports with plain
text or in html format. using the latter format, you can
navigate your
mp3 directories with a web browser.
OPTIONS¶
- -a, --all
- report all files, not just files with suffix mp3.
- -A, --show-all
- implies --show-dirs, --show-files and --summary. show
report for files and directories and a summary report.
- -d, --dirs
- show a report for every directory containing reported files/directories.
note that if option --all is not set, only will be reported those
directories containing mp3 files.
- -f, --files
- show a report for every reportable file (see --all).
- -h, --help
- show a brief help and exit.
- -H, --html
- output in html format (default is plain text).
- -r, --recursive
- scan directories.
- -s, --summary
- show a summary report.
- -S, --split
- split report across visited directories. qmp3report leaves in each
visited directory a file with the report for that directory, independently
of the output format. the name of the report file is the name of the
directory with extension .txt or .html depending on the
selected output format.
- -v, --verbose
- show more detailed info.
- -V, --version
- show version and exit.
BUGS¶
variable bit rate (vbr) streams are detected by reading the initial (5) frames
in the stream. if their bit rate field differs, the entire stream is read to
compute the duration time with accuracy (see manual info for
qmp3info).
if vbr is not detected,
qmp3report reads only the first frame in the
stream and calculates the duration supposing that (1) the entire stream is
composed by valid frames and (2) all the frames have the same bit rate. this
is a fast way to compute the duration of the stream, but it is not exact:
there's an error of 0.3% aprox.
the htmlize function, which converts file names in a suitable form for html
format (ie. replacing spaces with
%20), is not bulletproof.
tests have been done only with mpeg version 1 layer iii streams, though it may
(or not) work with other versions or layers.
