FREEDBTOFILENAME(1) User Contributed Perl Documentation FREEDBTOFILENAME(1)NAMEfreedbtofilename - rename files according to freedb web page
SYNOPSISfreedbtofilename [-v] [-q] [-d] [-a] [-t] [-g] [-f] [-h] [freedbfile|-]
[file.mp3...]
DESCRIPTIONfreedbtofilename 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.
