 |
|
Hi,
I'd like to list the data rated of files in a directory of mp3 files.
I can seem to find a simple command for mplayer so I wanted an idea before I spend hours searching.
I was expecting something like
mplayer -r *.mp3
maybe I'm just not looking in the right place .
Thanks far any tips.
TIA , gentree.

Thanks, but not really what I need:
| Code: | bash-3.00#ls
The Six Wives of Henry VIII
bash-3.00#id3info *
*** Tag information for The Six Wives of Henry VIII
|
zip!
| Code: | bash-3.00#id3info --help
id3info 3.8.3
Usage: id3info [OPTIONS]... [FILES]...
-h --help Print help and exit
-V --version Print version and exit
-a --assign Test the assignment operator (default=off)
-w --warning Turn on warnings (for debugging) (default=off)
-n --notice Turn on notices (for debugging) (default=off)
bash-3.00#man id3info
No manual entry for id3info
|
RTFM? What FM!
mplayer obviously knows from the headers what format and bitrate the file is encoded at but short of starting to play it and breaking in , I cant find a way to get this info printed by a command.

id3info want mp3s as argument, not a directory (because "The Six Wives of Henry VIII" is a directory, right?)
if you want to do it recursively:
| Code: | | $ find . -name "*.mp3" -exec id3info \{\} \; |

*** mp3 info

many thx.
is there a switch to just output the mp3 info.
A better question: where's the doc ?
I find no man entry nothing obvious on google and I just rebuilt id3lib with USE="doc" and still no man page for the lib or or the command.
TIA

well if I need the title and the bitrate only I'd already thought of grep with a regexp filter but I'd have to scatch my head.
I wondered if there was not a more direct route.
thangs agin.
