fapg - Fast Audio Playlist Generator
fapg [ options ] /path/to/mp3/dir1 [ /path/to/mp3/dir2 ... ]
fapg is a tool to generate list of audio files (Wav, MP2, MP3, Ogg, etc) in various formats (M3U, PLS, XSPF, HTML, RSS, etc). It is very useful if you have a large amount of audio files and you want to quickly and frequently build a playlist.
It is coded in C to be as fast as possible, and does not use any specific audio library (like ID3Lib). This allow you to deploy it faster and easier, and to have better performances since the less informations are loaded. On the other hand, this tool is not (yet) compatible with all the known formats.
Generate a PLS playlist for an album: fapg --format=pls --output=~/path/to/album/list.pls ~/path/to/album
You have a file server using Samba which shares a large amount of audio files for Windows powered computers using Winamp. The directory on the server containing the files is /samba/mp3 and is visible on the Windows network as \\server\mp3 : cd /samba/mp3 && fapg --backslash --output=/samba/mp3/list.m3u --prefix='\\server\mp3\' --recursive --windows ./
An HTML playlist for an album: fapg --output=fapg.html ~/path/to/album
A playlist that contains all your classical tracks may receive the genres to include (or exclude) in one or multiple portions fapg --genre=32:105 --genre=106:104:103 /path/to/all/music
Generate a podcasting XML file using an external program rss.sh to generate a detailed description: fapg --output=dir.xml -f rss -c /usr/local/bin/rss.sh -r --prefix=http://thisserver/basedir path/to/mp3
Generate a playlist that will work on a Sansa e200 series MP3 player: fapg -f pla -o /path/to/playlist.pla /path/to/all/music
if command starts with intern the build-in description (Author,Title,Link) is generated. Please note that in all given directories ( and in ...basedir/xml ) files called podcast.jpg are referenced. Many header fields are set to defaults using environment variables like LOGNAME or LANG.
