资源说明：Generate different views of your music collection via hard links
-------------------
| gen-album-views |
-------------------
This script generates different views of your music collection via hard links
(e.g. alphabetic, by release date, ...). It is build upon these premises:
- the only addressable entity is an album (or release), not e.g. single songs
- albums are directories at the same directory tree depth, e.g.:
B/Beatles/Revolver
R/Rolling Stones/Let It Bleed
(albums at depth 3 relative to root)
They can only contain files, not other directories.
- the music collection must consist solely of albums at the same depth
Currently four views are implemented, but it is very easy to write additional
ones:
- by_arrival
0603/Rolling Stones/Let It Bleed
0905/Beatles/Revolver
- by_initial
B/Beatles/Revolver
R/Rolling Stones/Let It Bleed
- by_initial_and_year
B/Beatles/1966 - Revolver
R/Rolling Stones/1969 - Let It Bleed
- by_date
1960/Beatles/Revolver
1960/Rolling Stones/Let It Bleed
- view_by_initial_range
A-M/Beatles/1966 - Revolver
N-Z/Rolling Stones/Let It Bleed
- view_by_artist
Beatles/Revolver
Rolling Stones/Let It Bleed
Of course these views can be easily generated and visualized by music players
which utilize a database. The advantage of this approach is it's generality:
It works with every software (file browser, different audio players) and also
on different computers (ftp, nfs, external hard drive).
The information for generating the views is collected from three different
sources:
1. Path name (e.g. artist, album)
2. Tags in music files (e.g. date)
3. Text files (e.g. arrival date)

| Invocation |
-----------------
gen-album-views [options] [output_views]
Options:
--version show program's version number and exit
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-c FILE, --config=FILE use config file FILE
-i VIEW, --inview=VIEW use VIEW as source directory
-n, --simulate only simulate, no real action
-d, --debug enable some debugging output to stderr
-q, --quiet be silent
-f FILE, --cmd-file=FILE log all filesystem operations to FILE
--create-default-config create default config file
-----------------
| Config file |
-----------------
The config file has the standard python ini-like syntax.
Example:
[DEFAULT]
my_topdir: /media/usb
inview: by_initial
[by_arrival]
output_dir: %(my_topdir)s/music_sorted/by_arrival
[by_initial]
output_dir: %(my_topdir)s/audio/music
[by_initial_and_year]
output_dir: %(my_topdir)s/music_sorted/by_initial_and_year
[by_date]
output_dir: %(my_topdir)s/music_sorted/by_date
