NAME
xcfa_cli - This program is an implementation of xcfa in command line.
DESCRIPTION
xcfa_cli is an application for conversion, normalization, reconfiguring wav files and cut
audio files ...
What xcfa_cli can do:
- replaygain on files: flac, mp3, ogg, wavpack
- conversions:
- from files:
wav, flac, ape, wavpack, ogg, m4a, mpc, mp3, wma, shorten, rm, dts, aif, ac3
- to files:
wav, flac, ape, wavpack, ogg, m4a, mpc, mp3, aac
- conversion settings for file management:
flac, ape, wavpack, ogg, m4a, aac, mpc, mp3
- management tags
- management cue wav file
- manipulation of the frequency, track and bit wav files
- standardization on files: wav, mp3, ogg
- cuts (split) wav files
- displaying information on files
SYNOPSIS
xcfa_cli [ -i "file.*" ][ -d wav,mpc,... ][ OPTIONS ]
OPTIONS
--verbose
Verbose mode
-h --help
Print help mode and quit
-i <"file.type"> --input <"file.type">
Input name file to convert in inverted commas: --input "*.flac"
Type input files: wav, flac, ape, wavpack, ogg, m4a, mpc, mp3, wma, shorten, rm,
dts, aif, ac3
-o <path_dest/> --output <path_dest/>
Destination folder. By default in the source file folder.
-d <wav,flac,ape,...> --dest <wav,flac,ape,...>
Destination file: wav, flac, ape, wavpack, ogg, m4a, mpc, mp3, aac
-r --recursion
Recursive search
-e --ext2src
Extract in the source folder. This option is useful with '--recursion'
--nice <priority>
Change the priority of running processes in the interval: 0 .. 20
Management options with default parameters:
--op_flac <"-5">
--op_ape <"c2000">
--op_wavpack <"-y -j1">

Displays information about the files:
--info_files
Displays time, level dBFS, frequency/track/quantification
--info_tags
Displays tags
--info_head
Displays head
Management tags:
--no_tag
The tags will not be carried
--tag_album <"tags">

Tag of description
Management cue file:
-c <info|extract> --cue <info|extract>
info Provides information on a WAV or CUE file.
extract Extract all tracks of a WAV file.
Management split:
-s <hh:mm:ss> --split <hh:mm:ss>
Mark the beginning of the file to be cut.
-l <sec> --length <sec>
Specifies the length of the file to cut with the seconds parameter.
Changing the settings of a WAV file:
-f <num> --frequency <num>
Changing the frequency: 8000, 22000, 32000, 44056, 44100, 48000, 88200,
96000 or other
-t <num> --track <num>
Changing the number of tracks: 1, 2, 4, 6
-q <num> --quantification <num>
Changing the quantification: 8, 16, 24, 32, 64
Replaygain: dynamic modification for next files: FLAC, MP3, OGG, WAVPACK
-g <clear|album|track> --replaygain <clear|album|track>
FLAC [ clear | album ]
MP3 [ clear | album | track ]
OGG [ clear | album | track ]
WAVPACK [ clear | album | track ]
Normalize: static modification for next files: MP3, WAV, OGG
See an excellent article by @Dzef on standardization:

--peak
Action on a single file.
Maximum volume amplification for each file.
Increase the overall level of the signal so as to bring the level to 0 dBFS peak
without changing dynamics.
--peak_album
Action on a group of files.
Maximum volume boost for a group of files in accordance with the level of
differences between each of them.
If the maximum level of one or more files is already at 0 dBFS, the level of all
the selected files remain unchanged after normalization. So this mode can be safely
used almost systematically.
--mix_rms_album <dBFS>
Action on a group of files.
Adjusting the average volume for a group of files respecting average level of the
differences between each of them.
The selecting a value for a file modifies the other files in the group.
--fix_rms <dBFS>
Action on a single file.
Adjusting the average volume of each file.. The selecting a value for a file.
NOTE
The options of conversions of externals programs can be seen from the manpages: $ man prog
or $ prog --help
