1 Hi all,
2
3 Gentoo's file command is slightly deficient, it seems to not have a
4 magic number for .ogg:
5
6 alan@nazgul ~ $ find /home/alan/music -type f -name *ogg -exec file {}
7 \;
8 /home/alan/music/A/ABC/The Lexicon of Love/06 - The look of love (part
9 one).ogg: data
10
11 repeat 1313 times (every .ogg I have)
12
13
14 A fellow Ubuntu-using Linux-conspirator gets this:
15
16 $ file "Alabama 3 - Exile on Coldharbour Lane/Alabama 3 - Mao Tse Tung
17 Said.ogg"
18 Alabama 3 - Exile on Coldharbour Lane/Alabama 3 - Mao Tse Tung Said.ogg:
19 Ogg data, Vorbis audio, stereo, 44100 Hz, ~112001 bps, created by:
20 Xiph.Org libVorbis I (1.0)
21

23 How do I teach my Gentoo system the magic of .ogg?
24
25 alan@nazgul ~ $ eix -e file
