NAME
mp3-cdr-fill - Fills a temporary directory randomly with
music and burns it to a CDR
SYNOPSIS
mp3-cdr-fill [ -ahimvx ] [ -d directories ]
DESCRIPTION
mp3-cdr-fill fills a temporary directory randomly with mp3
files and burns it to a CDR. It will fill the directory
with as much music as possible.
OPTIONS
-h --help
Prints this information.
-D --drive [drive]
If using the -r --rio flag, this can be used to add a
drive letter (shudder) to the m3u playlists.
-d --dir [root [root ...]]
-d --dir [root subdir [subdir ...]]
Specifies the root mp3 directory to search for files. If
unspecified, the default directory, which may be changed
by editing this file, is used.
The list of directories provided to this option can take
two forms. The first form is a list of absolute paths to
be used as root directories for the mp3 file search. The
second form is a list that begins with an absolute root
path followed by a list of subdirectories off that root
path. The difference is that the second form will pre
serve the subdirectories on the CD filesystem.
An example of the first usage is shown below. The program
will use each directory in the list as a root mp3 direc
tory and store the files on the CD relative to those
paths. Thus if there are no subdirectories under the
paths given, no subdirectories will exist on the CD. (The
CD will not contain the subdirectories "80s", "90s", and
"classical".)
-d "/mp3/80s /mp3/90s /mp3/clasical"
The alternate usage consists of an absolute path to a root
mp3 directory followed by several relative paths to subdi
rectories. Everything, which does not begin with a "/",
is treated as a subdirectory off of the root mp3 direc
tory. Note that the root mp3 directory is not searched
for mp3 files, only the subdirectories are. The following
example searches the same file space as the previous exam
ple but includes the subdirectories "80s", "90s", and
"classical" on the CD.
-d "/mp3 80s 90s clasical"
More than one root mp3 directory with subdirectories can
be specified at a time. The example below has two root
mp3 directories. On the CD there will exist two subdirec
tories, "80s" and "90s" with the contents from "/mp3/80s"
and "/mp3/new/80s" merged into the CD's "80s" directory.
The same holds true for the "90s" directory.
-d "/mp3 80s 90s /mp3/new 80s 90s"
-f --flat
Does not create a CD with subdirectory, but instead places
all files including playlists in the root CD directory.
-h --history (--nohistory)
Checking and excluding selected files against a list of
previously recorded mp3 files is enabled by default to
minimize repitition on CDs. To force the program to
ignore previously downloaded songs use the --nohistory
flag.
-m --max [max file size]
This sets the largest maximum file size that an mp3 file
can have and still be uploaded. The purpose of this is to
prevent a couple of massive files from taking all the mem
ory. To allow no limit on file size, set to zero.
-P --playlists (--noplaylists)
The creation of m3u playlists is enabled by default. To
suppress the creation of playlists use the --noplaylists
flag.
-r --riovolt
Creates an iso9660 filesystem with rockridge and jolliet
extensions instead of an ext2 filesystem. An ext2
filesystem can only be read on a linux system. The
iso9660 filesystem can be read in mp3 CD players (RioVolt)
as well as most operating systems. NOTE: using the
iso9660 filesystem is substantially less cool than using
an ext2 filesystem and fills the playlists with DOSisms
for compatability with those who do not know the glory of
*nix.
-v --verbose
Extra debugging information.
-s --speed [speed]
Specify the recording speed of the CDR drive. At the time
of this writing, RioVolt players have difficulty playing
CDR disks written at speeds higher than "1", even though a
computer can play the same disks without a problem. The
default value is "1" if the "-r --riovolt" flag is used,
otherwise the default is "4".
-t --test
Print files without copying and burning.
EXAMPLE
The example below will create an ext2 filesystem from
files randomly selected from the "/mp3" root directory.
mp3-cdr-fill -v -d /mp3
The example below will create an iso9660 filesystem with
DOSisms from the directories "/mp3/80s", "/mp3/90s", and
"/mp3/classical". The subdirectories "80s", "90s", and
"classical" will be preserved on the CD filesystem.
mp3-cdr-fill -v -r -d "/mp3 80s 90s classical"
NOTES
This program was converted from mp3-rio-fill and is filled
with unecessary code.
BUGS
Poorly written loops that may or may not exit depending on
the barometric pressure. A sad packing algorithm that has
the potential of stepping through the entire list of songs
in order to to maximally fill the rio. Did I mention that
my graduate advisor is Satan?
