I like to putter around with bash scripts. I've written up a 146-line |
| 13 |
script (83 lines of script plus 63 lines of comments) that handles |
| 14 |
things to *MY* specs for *MY* needs. It processes .inf and .wav files |
| 15 |
in a directory, creating flac files in a flac subdirectory. I haven't |
| 16 |
tested it under all conditions, but it tries to handle... |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
* Check for a "flac" subdirectory; create one if it doesn't already exist |
| 19 |
* If "Tracktitle" field is empty, bail out. |
| 20 |
* If "Tracktitle" field contains a slash ("/"), assume that the artist's |
| 21 |
name is to the left of the slash, and the song name is on the right |
| 22 |
side of the slash. |
| 23 |
* If "Tracktitle" field is non-empty, but doesn't contain a "/", assume |
| 24 |
that it only has the title. |
| 25 |
- Get the artist name from the "Performer" field. |
| 26 |
- If "Performer" field is empty, use "Albumperformer" field. |
| 27 |
- If both are empty, set artist name to "Unknown". |
| 28 |
* The flac files are created in the "flac" subdirectory |
