MP3BUTLER(1)

NAME
mp3butler - Organizes, Renames, Fixes ID3's of, and generally Butles mp3's.

SYNOPSIS
mp3rev [options] [files] | sh

DESCRIPTION
mp3butler must be piped to sh if it's to be of any use to you.

Call it like this: mp3butler -Rrif filename.mp3 | sh (or similar) or else it WILL NOT FUNCTION.

Butles your mp3's.

Specifically, it will rename your mp3's to a sane format:

long_artist_name-long_track_name-extra_info.mp3

It will also set the ID3 tags of your mp3's based on that format (using the ID3 program):

Artist: Long Artist Name

Song: Long Track Name (Extra Info)

Finally, it will organize your mp3's into a directory hierarchy of one of 2 formats:

a/artist/artist-song.mp3 m/monkey_man/monkey_man-monkey_song.mp3

or

artist/artist-song.mp3 monkey_man/monkey_man-monkey_song.mp3

OPTIONS
Note that running mp3butler -FRirf will set all options. there is not currently a --all option. You can also run mp3butler -Rirf to set all options but the 'firstletter' one. Specifies to recurse into directories specified on the commandline, and find all files in those directories. Prints usage info. Specifies to run the filename fixing routine. Specifies to organize into the directory hierarchy. Specifies to fix ID3 tags. Specifies to use the 'firstletter' naming convention for organization. see above. Specifies "No more options on this commandline."

NOTES
If the filenames do not end with .mp3 (.MP3 will work too, or .mP3 or .Mp3), then mp3butler will ignore them.

Please read the RANT file in the distribution directory for information on why and how mp3butler works how it does.

BUGS
None that I know of. If you find them, report them! :)
