gnupod_addsong

GNUPOD_ADDSONG(1)						   User Commands						 GNUPOD_ADDSONG(1)

NAME

       gnupod_addsong - upload music to the iPod

SYNOPSIS

       gnupod_addsong [OPTION]...

DESCRIPTION

       Upload  Music  to  the  iPod.   This  Version  can  read  MP3  AAC/ALAC	(no DRM) and PCM (aka .wav) files.  It can even read FLAC files if
       Audio::FLAC is aviable and the --decode switch was used. (Note: The iPod can't play FLAC files, in this case, gnupod_addsong  converts  the
       FLAC files 'on-the-fly' using 'flac')

       --help display this help and exit

       --version
	      output version information and exit

       -m, --mount=DIRECTORY
	      iPod mountpoint. Default is $IPOD_MOUNTPOINT

       -r, --restore
	      Restore the iPod. Use this if your iPod is messed up. You will lose all playlists

       -d, --duplicate
	      Allow duplicate files. Per default, gnupod_addsong checks for duplicate files.  Use this switch to disable the check.

       -p, --playlist=NAME
	      Add songs to this playlist

       --disable-v1
	      Do not read ID3v1 Tags

       --disable-v2

       --decode=mp3|pcm|aac|aacbm
	      Convert  FLAC  and  OGG files On-The-Fly into choosen format and add them.  You need the Perl modules 'Audio::FLAC::Header' for FLAC
	      files and 'Ogg::Vorbis::Header::PurePerl' for OGG files. Lame is needed for MP3 Output and FAAC (>= 1.24) is needed for AAC  output.
	      Btw: 'aacbm' means a Bookmark-AAC File (M4B) See --reencode to specify the quality of the output file.

       -e, --reencode=INT
	      Re-encode while adding Files. 0=God / 9=Bad Quality. Lame is needed for MP3, FAAC for AAC (m4a).

	      Force Artist

       --set-album=STRING

       --set-rating=INT
	      Force Rating: 0 = 0 starts / 20 = 1 star / 40 = 2 stars / 60 = 3 stars / 80 = 4 stars / 100 = 5 stars

       --set-playcount=INT
	      Force Playcount

       --set-compilation
	      Mark songs as being part of a compilation

       --min-vol-adj=INT
	      Minimum volume adjustment done if ID3v2.4 RVA2 tags are found. Default is 0 (= Do nothing)

       --max-vol-adj=INT
	      Maximum  volume  adjustment  done if ID3v2.4 RVA2 tags are found. Default is 0 (= Do nothing) Using this two options, you can adjust
