gjay - organizes music collections
SYNOPSIS
gjay [-a file] [-c color] [-d] [-f] file] [-l length] [-p] [-s] [-u] [-v verbosity] [-P] gjay [-hV]
DESCRIPTION
gjay (Gtk+ DJ) analyzes and categorizes collections of MP3, OGG, FLAC and WAV music files so that interesting playlists can be generated. Each song is assigned characteristics (BPM and spectrum) and user-assigned attributes (rating and color). "Color" is just a handy way for a user to describe a song. gjay has both a user-visible interface and a background processing component. The user- visible component is used to select the base music directory, set song attributes, and generate playlists. The background component (the daemon) analyzes songs. Song analysis can take a while. After the base music directory has been set and the daemon has started its analysis, it is possible to quit the user interface portion of the program and allow the daemon to continue in the background. GJay can be started in daemon mode by passing -d, in which case it runs until song analysis is complete. It's OK to kill or ctrl+c to quit a running daemon; it saves data as it goes along. You can create playlists from within the GJay or from the command line. If you generate a playlist from the command line, the previous session's playlist preferences for the importance of various attributes will be used.
