FREEDBTOFILENAME(1)   User Contributed Perl Documentation  FREEDBTOFILENAME(1)


NAME

       freedbtofilename - rename files according to freedb web page


SYNOPSIS

       freedbtofilename [-v] [-q] [-d] [-a] [-t] [-g] [-f] [-h] [freedbfile|-]
       [file.mp3...]


DESCRIPTION

       freedbtofilename takes data from the freedb (http://www.freedb.org) web
       page and renames files accordingly.

       As freedbtofilename works by scraping the web page, it can easily break
       if they redesign the web site. If that happens, check the address below
       for an update.

       As freedbtofilename uses data from the web page, unlike many other
       freedb/cddb based tools, it has no need for the original CD.

       Input from freedbfile can be either html or formatted output from
       lynx(1) (either from "lynx -dump page.html" or from pressing p then
       selecting Save to a local file from within lynx (when you have found
       the page you want). If raw html is passed to freedbtofilename, it runs
       lynx to format it before parsing.

       MP3::Archive(3) is used for creating filenames and deciding whether a
       particular track should be treated as an album or non-album track
       (unless overridden by -a or -t), see MP3::Archive::Config for details
       on configuring .mp3archiverc to specify your filename styles.


OPTIONS

       -v  Verbose output.

       -q  Quiet (no output). This is the default.

       -d  Dry run. Just prints the changes it would make without actually
           doing them.

       -a  Treat files as album tracks.

       -t  Treat files as non-album tracks.

       -g  Guess whether to treat files as album tracks or not, based on the
           current directory of the file.

       -f  If the number of files specified does not agree with the number
           listed in the freedbfile, normally freedbtofilename will abort.
           With this option it will warn you then carry on, renaming as many
           files as it can. Use with care.

       -h  Show a short help message.
