mp3report - Neon Goat MP3 Report Generator
A customizable program to scan a list of (sub)directories, creating a report
from an HTML template. Also calculates various statistics and each song's
playing time. Supports ID3 and ID3v2 tags. Should work on any perl-ized OS;
see homepage for demo - http://mp3report.sourceforge.netAll options can be configured through the command line, see mp3report --help
for more info. You may also want to modify the hard coded defaults at the
top of the program file.
See documentation.html for information on customizing your own template file.Usage: mp3report [options] [directory...]
--help shows this help screen
--printmode uses a smaller font for printing
--title=TITLE sets the title used in the report
--outfile=OUTFILE file to write report to, '-' for STDOUT
--template=FILE file to use as report template
--stdgenres use standard genres instead of winamp genres
--id3v2 enable id3v2 support (experimental)
directory... dirs to scan (subdirs included) You should be able to run mp3report directly after decompressing it:
tar xfzv mp3report-1.0.2.tar.gz
cd mp3report-1.0.2
./mp3report.pl --help
If your perl interpreter isn't in /usr/bin/perl, you'll need to change the first line
of mp3report.pl
If you'd like to install the MP3::Info perl module so that other programs can
use it, it is available at http://search.cpan.org/search?dist=MP3-Info.By creating your own HTML file or modifying one of the provided templates, you can customize the output of MP3 Report Generator. These are the various identifiers that MP3 Report Generator can look for in a report:
This is either 1 or 2, depending on the --printmode flag. If printing mode is on, the idea is that the font size should be a little bit smaller so that it looks better on paper. To make sure this field does something, use <FONT SIZE="$t_fontsize"> in your HTML code.
Used for the HTML <TITLE> tag as well as the first line of the report, and is set by specifying --title=SOMETHING on the command line.
The local date and time when the report was generated.
The list of parent directories that was scanned in the report. Each directory is separated by <BR>&nbsp;&nbsp; so that they are on separate lines and indented.
The total number of directories and subdirectories scanned in the report.
The total number of MP3 files included in the report.
The total size of all MP3 files included in the report combined. This is formatted into "x.xx GB (y.yy MB)".
The total playing time of all songs combined. This is formatted into an English sentence (4 days, 3 hours, 2 minutes, 1 second).
The total time it took to generate the report. This is formatted into an English sentence (4 days, 3 hours, 2 minutes, 1 second).
The average size of the MP3s in this report. This is formatted into "x.xx MB".
The average playing time of a single song in the report. This is formatted into an English sentence (3 hours, 2 minutes, 1 second).
The filename that the report is being written to.
The filename of the template that is being used.
Either "Yes" or "No" depending on whether the --printmode flag was specified.
Either "Yes" or "No" depending on whether user specified custom directories to scan on the command line.
Either "Standard" or "WinAMP" depending on whether or not the user specified --stdgenres.
Either "Yes" or "No" depending on whether the --id3v2 flag was specified.
The current directory that is being scanned.
The current sequential number of the item found.
The filename of the item found. NOTE: This in versions older than 1.0.2, this variable was called $item_name.
The size of the item found. This is formatted into "x.xx MB".
This will either be #FFFFFF or #EEEEEE (white or light gray) depending on whether or not the current item number is even or odd. This is used to make the cell color in tables alternate to make the report easier to read. In order for this to work, your HTML code must look something like <TD BGCOLOR="$item_bgcolor">...</TD>.
The playing time of the song found, formatted into "XX:YY" (minutes:seconds).
The total number of seconds in the current song.
The MPEG version number of the current MP3, usually 1.
Either "Stereo" or "Mono" depending on the number of channels in the MP3.
The MPEG layer number, usually 3.
The bitrate of the current MP3 in kbps.
If the current MP3 is encoded at a variable bitrate, this will equal "VBR". If not, it will be a blank string.
Either "Copyrighted" or "Not copyrighted" depending on the MP3's copyright flag.
The frequency of the current MP3 in kHz.
The song's ID3 title, maximum 30 characters.
The song's ID3 artist, maximum 30 characters.
The song's ID3 album, maximum 30 characters.
The song's ID3 year, maximum 4 characters.
The song's ID3 comment, maximum 30 characters (28 if the ID3 tag also contains a track number).
The song's ID3 genre. You may disable WinAMP genres by specifying the --stdgenres flag.
The song's ID3v1.1 track number (if present), maximum 2 characters.
