NAME

       Ampache - is a Web-based Audio file manager.

DESCRIPTION

       Ampache  is  implemented  with MySQL, and PHP. It allows you to view, edit, and play your audio files via
       the web. It has support for playlists, artist and album views, album art, random play, playback via Http,
       on  the  Fly Transcoding and Downsampling, Vote based playback, Mpd and Icecast, Integrated Flash Player,
       as well as per user themes and song play tracking. You can also Link multiple  Ampache  servers  together
       using XML-RPC. Ampache supports GETTEXT translations and has a full translation of many languages.

OPTIONS

       The following scripts are included in Ampache and can be used to automate some aspects of Ampache.

       catalog_update.inc

       You  can  automate  the update of all, or some of your local catalogs by using the bin/catalog_update.inc
       file. By default this will run a clean, verify and update  on  all  of  your  local  catalogs.   You  can
       optionally  specify  the  name of the catalog and it will only update the specified catalog.  Very useful
       when used with cron or crontab.

       dump_art.inc

       You can output all of the album art stored in ampache to the filesystem. It will output the image  stored
       in the database to the directory of the first file in the album. This can cause problems f your files are
       not in their own directories. You can specify the filename to be written by  modifying  the  config  file
       options  relating  to  album_art_preferred_filename.  Ampache  will by default output meta data directory
       files for linux.

       delete_disabled.inc

       If you would like to delete all of the disabled songs in Ampache you can run the  bin/delete_disabled.inc
       to  delete  all  of the songs that are disabled in Ampache.  Naturally this requires the user you run the
       script as to have permissions to delete the files in question. By default this script will  not  work  if
       you  run it. You must open it and delete or comment out the line that says $debug=true for it to actually
       work.

       sort_files.inc

       You can have Ampache automatically rename and move all of your files based on the meta  data  in  Ampache
       using  the bin/sort_files.inc script. This requires write access to the files in question. The files will
       be renamed and moved based on their respective File and  Folder  patterns  as  defined  by  the  catalog.
       Ampache  will also by default sort your files into A-Z sub-folders to reduce the number of folders at the
       top level. You can turn this off by editing the file  and  setting  the  $alphabet_prefix  to  false,  or
       commenting it out.

       fix_filenames.inc

       Ampache  provides  some  additional  tools to help you cope with Character set mis-matches. These scripts
       must be run from the command line. After making any changes to your tags or  the  filenames  please  make
       sure  you  update  your  catalog  and  that your local client has the character set and fonts required to
       display the tag information.  This script looks through the path of your local catalogs for filenames who
       contain  characters  that do not exist in the currently configured site_charset. It will prompt you for a
       source character charset, if none is specified  it  will  use  the  current  output_encoding  value  from
       iconv().

       print_tags.inc

       You can also look at the raw tags inside a file by running the included print_tags.inc file. This example
       takes advantage of the hexcat application to get the hex values of the output. You will need  to  compare
       the reported HEX value to the HEX value according to the defined charset.

       php /bin/print_tags.inc [FILE]

       migrate_config.inc

       This  is used to migrate your ampache.cfg.php config file from php4 formating to php5 formating.  This is
       done to decrease the parsing time of ampache.cfg.php.  This  is  generally  not  needed  unless  you  are
       upgrading from 3.3.3.5 to 3.4.x.  debian/ampache.postinst runs this script automatically if needed.

       php /usr/share/ampache/www/bin/print_tag.inc  [path to music file]
