Sorry for the multi-correction
The GNU awk version should include always IGNORECASE=1 in order to ignore the case.
Yes that works. But adding the track doesn't work yet because if the tracknumber is empty track isn't in the output. But it detects and displays the right files now.
This should do it (I hope I got the braces right ):
Could you post an example output from metaflac at least for two files: one to be printed and another one to be skipped?

Given your metaflac example above, the filename seems to be missing in the output, this means that we should process the files one by one, in order to get the name ...

This doesn't work yet. This is the output of a mp3 that should be detected, since the tracknumber isn't filled:
This FLAC is ok:
These FLAC's are not ok:
From track 1 only the artist is filled. Title, album and tracknumber are missing.
From track2 none of the tags is filled, so nothing is returned
Track 3 is titled 'track 1'.
OK,
I suppose all the code should be re-written.
Could you please provide again the list of mandatory tags for mp3 and flac?
For mp3:
For flac:
Are those lists correct?
Yes. Indeed. If there is no id tag in the mp3 all properties except 'Track' are in the output and filled with spaces. The property 'Track' isn't in the output at all.
But if there is an id3 tag, but an empty one, the property field IS in the output and has value the value '0'.
With FLAC it's more clear. Only non-empty properties are in the output.
So for mp3 the check should be like:
If title is empty(=filled with spaces) or contains unknown or track
or if artist is empty(=filled with spaces) or contains unknown
or if album is empty(=filled with spaces) or contains unknown
or if the value of the is '0' or the property track is not available
then report this file
For flac:
If title is not available or contains unknown or track
or if artist is not avaliable or contains unknown
or if album is not available or contains unknown
or if track is not available
then report this file
If no property at all is filled metaflac returns nothing at all.
This one does work perfect.
Nice output. Works perfectly on my test dir, so I did a run on my collection... I discovered I've really a lot of retagging to do on mp3.
I hope my flac collection is in better condition.

Oh... ik overlooked something in the flac specs you posted. The tags to look for are:
example output:
DESCRIPTION is just the same as COMMENT. 'Track 3' is just filled in the comments. Has really nothing to do with the value of TRACKNUMBER.

I have a lot number audio files in the MP3 proprietary format, I want to convert them to 'opus' the free and higher quality format, with keep metadata also.

Hi All,
I have next to zero knowledge on what I am about to ask so I will just ask it in plain English :)
I am wondering how best to go about manipulating audio files server side. The manipulations required are join files one after the other, eg, audio1 + audio2 + audio3 + audio4 = audio5

Hi, I would like to write a shell script that will:
-search the files of a specific user to find any audio files with a bandwidth iqual or greater than 192 kps
- on the results i should see the file name along with all the whole file route and each file's size
So I guess i should be using... (1 Reply)

Any tutorials will be of great help.
