NAME

       qmp3report - report mp3 files and directories

SYNOPSIS

       qmp3report [option]... file...

DESCRIPTION

       qmp3report  reads  mp3  files  or  directories  containing  mp3  files  and gives information about them.
       qmp3report can output the reports with plain text or in html format. using the  latter  format,  you  can
       navigate your mp3 directories with a web browser.

OPTIONS

       -a, --all
              report all files, not just files with suffix mp3.

       -A, --show-all
              implies  --show-dirs,  --show-files  and  --summary.  show  report for files and directories and a
              summary report.

       -d, --dirs
              show a report for every directory containing reported files/directories. note that if option --all
              is not set, only will be reported those directories containing mp3 files.

       -f, --files
              show a report for every reportable file (see --all).

       -h, --help
              show a brief help and exit.

       -H, --html
              output in html format (default is plain text).

       -r, --recursive
              scan directories.

       -s, --summary
              show a summary report.

       -S, --split
              split  report  across visited directories. qmp3report leaves in each visited directory a file with
              the report for that directory, independently of the output format. the name of the report file  is
              the name of the directory with extension .txt or .html depending on the selected output format.

       -v, --verbose
              show more detailed info.

       -V, --version
              show version and exit.

BUGS

       variable  bit  rate  (vbr) streams are detected by reading the initial (5) frames in the stream. if their
       bit rate field differs, the entire stream is read to compute the duration time with accuracy (see  manual
       info for qmp3info).

       if  vbr  is not detected, qmp3report reads only the first frame in the stream and calculates the duration
       supposing that (1) the entire stream is composed by valid frames and (2) all the frames have the same bit
       rate.  this is a fast way to compute the duration of the stream, but it is not exact: there's an error of
       0.3% aprox.

       the htmlize function, which converts file names in a suitable form for html format (ie. replacing  spaces
       with %20), is not bulletproof.

       tests  have  been done only with mpeg version 1 layer iii streams, though it may (or not) work with other
       versions or layers.
