NAME

       oidua - audio file metadata lister

SYNOPSIS

       oidua [options] directory [...]

DESCRIPTION

       lists meta data of audio files. What information and how it is presented is customizable. It is possible to format output in csv, html, xml
       or for human beings.

OPTIONS

       -B, --bg COLOR
	      Set HTML background color

       -D, --date
	      Display datestamp header

       --debug
	      Output debug trace to stderr

       -e, --exclude DIRECTORY
	      Exclude directory from search

       -f, --file FILE
	      write output to file

       -h, --help
	      Display help message

       -H, --html
	      HTML output

       --ignore-bad
	      Don't list files that cause Audiotype failure

       -i, --ignore-case
	      Case-insensitive directory sorting

       -I, --indent N
	      Set indent to N

       -m, --merge
	      Merge identical directories
	      Basedirs with identical names are merged. This Means that all their subdirs are considered being subdirs of a single directory,  and
	      therefore sorted and displayed together. If there are duplicate names among the subdirs then those are also merged.

       -o, --output STRING
	      Set output format to STRING

	      Anything enclosed by brackets is considered a field. A field must have the following syntax:

	      [TAG]

	      [TAG,WIDTH]

	      [TAG,WIDTH,SUFFIX]

	      [TAG,SUFFIX]

		     TAG is any of the following characters:

		     a	    list of bitrates in Audiolist compatible format

		     b	    bitrate with suffix (i.e. 192k)

		     B	    bitrate in bps

		     d	    depth; distance from respective basedir

		     f	    number of audio files (including spacers)

		     l	    length in minutes and seconds

		     L	    length in seconds

		     m	    time of last change

		     M	    time of last change in seconds since the epoch

		     n	    directory name (indented)

		     N	    directory name

		     p	    profile

		     P	    full path

		     q	    quality

		     s	    size with suffix (i.e. 65.4M)

		     S	    size in bytes

		     t	    file type

		     T	    bitrate type:

			    ~	   mixed files

			    C	   constant bitrate

			    L	   lossless compression

			    V	   variable bitrate

		     WIDTH  defines  the  exact  width of the field. The output is cropped to this width if needed. Negative values will give left
			    aligned output. Cropping is always done on the right.

		     SUFFIX lets you specify a unit to be concatenated to all non-empty data.
			    Other interpreted sequences are:

			    [	   [

			    ]	   ]

			    
	   new line

			    		   tab character

		     Unescaped brackets are forbidden unless they define a field.

		     Note: If you have any whitespace in your output string you must put it inside quotes or otherwise	it  will  not  get  parsed
		     right.

	      -q, --quiet
		     Omit progress indication

	      -s, --strip
		     Strip output of field headers and empty directories

	      -S, --stats
		     Display statistics results

	      -t, --time
		     Display elapsed time footer

	      -T, --text  COLOR
		     Set HTML text color

	      -V, --version
		     Display version

	      -w, --wildcards
		     Expand wildcards in basedirs

NAME

       rotter - a recording of transmission / audio logger for JACK

SYNOPSIS

       rotter [options] <directory>

DESCRIPTION

       Rotter is a Recording of Transmission / Audio Logger for JACK. It was designed for use by radio stations, who are legally required to keep
       a recording of all their output. Rotter runs continuously, writing to a new file every hour.

       Rotter can output files in two different strutures, either all files in a single directory or create a directory structure:

	   flat: /root_directory/YYYY-MM-DD-HH.suffix
	   hierarchy: /root_directory/YYYY/MM/DD/HH/archive.suffix
	   combo: /root_directory/YYYY/MM/DD/HH/YYYY-MM-DD-HH.suffix
	   dailydir: /root_directory/YYYY-MM-DD/YYYY-MM-DD-HH.suffix

       The advantage of using a folder hierarchy is that you can store related files in the hour's directory.

OPTIONS

       -a
	   Automatically connect JACK ports to the first two JACK input ports found.

       -f <format>
	   Select the output format of the log files. See the rotter help screen for a list of supported output format names.

       -b <bitrate>
	   Select the bitrate (in kbps) of the log file. This parameter is only supported by bitstream formats (MPEG Audio).

       -c <channels>
	   Set the number of input channels to be logged. This number of JACK ports will be created. Should either 1 or 2.

       -n <name>
	   Choose the name of the Jack client to register as.

       -N <filename>
	   Choose a filename prefix for the archive files created (default archive).

       -d <hours>
	   Specifies the number of hours of audio to keep before it is deleted. Files are deleted at the start of every hour, based on the files
	   modification date. Default is to not delete files.

       -R <secs>
	   Sets the length (in seconds) of the ringbuffer. This is the buffer between the internal audio grabber and the audio encoder. If you
	   have a slow machine you might want to try increating the size of the buffer.

       -L <layout>
	   Choose a file layout option for the archive files created. See above for a list.

       -j
	   By default rotter will automatically try and start jackd if it isn't running. This option disables that feature.

       -v
	   Enable verbose mode. Display more messages about what rotter is doing.

       -q
	   Enable quiet mode. Only display error messages.

EXAMPLES

       rotter -a -f mp3 -d 1000 -b 160 -v /var/achives

       Start logging audio to hourly files in /var/archives. Rotter will automatically connect itself to the first two JACK output ports it finds
       and encode to MPEG Layer 3 audio at 128kbps. Each hour it will delete files older than 1000 hours (42 days). Verbose mode means it will
       display more informational messages.
