NAME

       trackverify - verifies the data content of tracks

SYNOPSIS

       trackverify [OPTIONS] <track 1> [track 2] ...

DESCRIPTION

       trackverify  takes  one  or  more  audio  tracks,  verifies their files for correctness, and displays its
       results to standard output. If directories are given, they are searched  recursively  for  any  supported
       audio files and verified if found.

OPTIONS

       -h, --help
              show a list of options and exit

       -t, --type=TYPE
              An  audio  format  to restrict searching to. If given, only files of the given audio types will be
              verified. May be used multiple times. For a list of available audio formats, try: -t help

       -S, --no-summary
              do not display summary information when verification is complete

       -R, --accuraterip
              verify tracks against those of AccurateRip database

       --cue=FILENAME
              cuesheet to use when verifying CD image against AccurateRip database

       -j, --joint=PROCESSES
              The maximum number of tracks to verify at one time.  If  one  has  multiple  CPUs  or  CPU  cores,
              allowing  trackverify(1)  to  use  all  of  them  simultaneously  can increase verification speed.
              However, the maximum speed is likely to be limited by I/O-bound rather than CPU-bound.

       -V, --verbose=VERBOSITY
              The level of output to display. Choose between 'normal', 'quiet' and 'debug'.

VERIFICATION

       All audio formats do not carry an equal measure of error protection. What Python Audio Tools  is  capable
       to detecting depends on the audio format. For example, FLAC files have their frame checksums verified, in
       addition to the file's MD5 hash. Files packed in Ogg containers have their Ogg page  checksums  verified.
       However,  for  formats such as Wave, there is no standard way to verify that its data content is correct;
       we can only ensure that its blocks of data are the correct size.

ACCURATERIP

       Verifying lossless tracks against AccurateRip's online database is a  way  of  ensuring  one's  rips  are
       identical  to rips performed by other people. The confidence level is the number of other people who have
       the same rip, so a larger value indicates one's own rip is consistent with those of others. However,  not
       finding  one's  rip  in  the AccurateRip database does not necessarily mean the rip is bad; the CD may be
       new, rare, or a different pressing than the one in the database.

EXAMPLES

       Check all FLAC files in the current directory:

              trackverify *.flac

       Check only MP3 files found in the directory audio/

              trackverify -t mp3 audio/
