README

        
REQUIREMENTS

	To use Audiotag, you must have:

	1. Perl >= 5.6

	2. At least one of...

	   - id3tag and id3info (from id3lib, id3lib.sourceforge.net) in $PATH

	   - vorbiscomment (from vorbis-tools, xiph.org/ogg/vorbis) in $PATH

	   - metaflac (from flac, flac.sourceforge.net) in $PATH

INSTALL

	Just copy `audiotag' to /usr/local/bin (or somewhere in your $PATH)

USAGE

	% audiotag [OPTION]... [FILE]...

	tip: Always use the -p option before running it for real!

	Examples:

	Set GENRE to "Metal"

	% audiotag -g Metal *.mp3 *.ogg

	Guess and set TRACKNUM - guess track uses the simple pattern '(\d\d)'

	% audiotag -G *.mp3 *.ogg

	Set TITLE based on a pattern match of the filename - This example would

	work for files with a name in the form "Mudvayne - 01. Shadow of a Man.ogg"

	% audiotag --title-pattern '.*?\d\d\. (.*?)\.ogg' *.ogg

	Same as above, but don't really do anything, just see what it WOULD do

	% audiotag --pretend --title-pattern '.*?\d\d\. (.*?)\.ogg' *.ogg

	Rename files based on their meta-data, so the filenames are in the form:

	"TRACKNUM. Artist (Album Name) Song Title.ogg"

	eg. "02. Tool (Undertow) Prison Sex.ogg"

	% audiotag --rename-files --rename-pattern '%t. %a (%A) %s' *.ogg

BUGS

	- comment field support isn't fully functional for MP3s, because, for some

	  reason, comment fields in MP3s are key/value pairs...  which doesn't

	  translate to ogg and flac.  And id3tag doesn't support MP3 comment fields

	  very well to begin with either.

	- the --rename-files option will fail(ungracefully) if illegal filename

	  characters are in a track's meta-data, eg. '/' on *nix(and most other

	  systems), or '\' on 'doze(but who cares?).
