The field must comply with the -Vorbis comment spec, of the form "NAME=VALUE". If there is -currently no tag block, one will be created. -.TP -\fB--set-tag-from-file=field\fR -Like --set-tag, except the VALUE is a filename whose -contents will be read verbatim to set the tag value. -Unless --no-utf8-convert is specified, the contents will be -converted to UTF-8 from the local charset. This can be used -to store a cuesheet in a tag (e.g. ---set-tag-from-file="CUESHEET=image.cue"). Do not try to -store binary data in tag fields! Use APPLICATION blocks for -that. -.TP -\fB--import-tags-from=file\fR -Import tags from a file. Use '-' for stdin. Each -line should be of the form NAME=VALUE. Multi-line comments -are currently not supported. Specify --remove-all-tags and/or ---no-utf8-convert before --import-tags-from if necessary.

Use '-' for stdout. Only one FLAC file -may be specified on the command line. -.TP -\fB--import-picture-from={\fIFILENAME\fB|\fISPECIFICATION\fB}\fR -Import a picture and store it in a PICTURE metadata block. More than one --import-picture-from command can be specified. Either a filename for the picture file or a more complete specification form can be used. The SPECIFICATION is a string whose parts are separated by | (pipe) characters. Some parts may be left empty to invoke default values. FILENAME is just shorthand for "||||FILENAME". The format of SPECIFICATION is - -[TYPE]|[MIME-TYPE]|[DESCRIPTION]|[WIDTHxHEIGHTxDEPTH[/COLORS]]|FILE - -TYPE is optional; it is a number from one of: - -0: Other - -1: 32x32 pixels 'file icon' (PNG only) - -2: Other file icon - -3: Cover (front) - -4: Cover (back) - -5: Leaflet page - -6: Media (e.g. label side of CD) - -7: Lead artist/lead performer/soloist - -8: Artist/performer - -9: Conductor - -10: Band/Orchestra - -11: Composer - -12: Lyricist/text writer - -13: Recording Location - -14: During recording - -15: During performance - -16: Movie/video screen capture - -17: A bright coloured fish - -18: Illustration - -19: Band/artist logotype - -20: Publisher/Studio logotype - -The default is 3 (front cover). There may only be one picture each of type 1 and 2 in a file. - -MIME-TYPE is optional; if left blank, it will be detected from the file. For best compatibility with players, use pictures with MIME type image/jpeg or image/png. The MIME type can also be --> to mean that FILE is actually a URL to an image, though this use is discouraged. - -DESCRIPTION is optional; the default is an empty string. - -The next part specifies the resolution and color information. If the MIME-TYPE is image/jpeg, image/png, or image/gif, you can usually leave this empty and they can be detected from the file. Otherwise, you must specify the width in pixels, height in pixels, and color depth in bits-per-pixel. If the image has indexed colors you should also specify the number of colors used. When manually specified, it is not checked against the file for accuracy. - -FILE is the path to the picture file to be imported, or the URL if MIME type is --> - -For example, "|image/jpeg|||../cover.jpg" will embed the JPEG file at ../cover.jpg, defaulting to type 3 (front cover) and an empty description. The resolution and color info will be retrieved from the file itself. - -The specification "4|-->|CD|320x300x24/173|http://blah.blah/backcover.tiff" will embed the given URL, with type 4 (back cover), description "CD", and a manually specified resolution of 320x300, 24 bits-per-pixel, and 173 colors. The file at the URL will not be fetched; the URL itself is stored in the PICTURE metadata block. -.TP -\fB--export-picture-to=file\fR -Export PICTURE block to a file. Use '-' for stdout. Only one FLAC file may be specified on the command line. The first PICTURE block will be exported unless --export-picture-to is preceded by a --block-number=# option to specify the exact metadata block to extract. Note that the block number is the one shown by --list. -.TP -\fB--add-replay-gain\fR -Calculates the title and album gains/peaks of the given FLAC -files as if all the files were part of one album, then stores -them as FLAC tags. The tags are the same as -those used by vorbisgain. Existing ReplayGain tags will be -replaced. If only one FLAC file is given, the album and title -gains will be the same. Since this operation requires two -passes, it is always executed last, after all other operations -have been completed and written to disk. All FLAC files -specified must have the same resolution, sample rate, and -number of channels. The sample rate must be one of 8, 11.025, -12, 16, 18.9, 22.05, 24, 28, 32, 37.8, 44.1, 48, 56, 64, 88.2, -96, 112, 128, 144, 176.4, or 192kHz. -.TP -\fB--scan-replay-gain\fR -Like --add-replay-gain, but only analyzes the files rather -than writing them to the tags. -.TP -\fB--remove-replay-gain\fR -Removes the ReplayGain tags. -.TP -\fB--add-seekpoint={\fI#\fB|\fIX\fB|\fI#x\fB|\fI#s\fB}\fR -Add seek points to a SEEKTABLE block. Using #, a seek point at -that sample number is added. Using X, a placeholder point is -added at the end of a the table. Using #x, # evenly spaced seek -points will be added, the first being at sample 0. Using #s, a -seekpoint will be added every # seconds (# does not have to be a -whole number; it can be, for example, 9.5, meaning a seekpoint -every 9.5 seconds). If no SEEKTABLE block exists, one will be -created. If one already exists, points will be added to the -existing table, and any duplicates will be turned into placeholder -points. You may use many --add-seekpoint options; the resulting -SEEKTABLE will be the unique-ified union of all such values. -Example: --add-seekpoint=100x --add-seekpoint=3.5s will add 100 -evenly spaced seekpoints and a seekpoint every 3.5 seconds. -.TP -\fB--add-padding=length\fR -Add a padding block of the given length (in bytes). The overall -length of the new block will be 4 + length; the extra 4 bytes is -for the metadata block header. -.SH "MAJOR OPERATIONS" -.TP -\fB--list\fR -List the contents of one or more metadata blocks to stdout. By -default, all metadata blocks are listed in text format. Use the -following options to change this behavior: -.RS -.TP -\fB--block-number=#[,#[...]]\fR -An optional comma-separated list of block numbers to display. -The first block, the STREAMINFO block, is block 0. -.TP -\fB--block-type=type[,type[...]]\fR -.TP -\fB--except-block-type=type[,type[...]]\fR -An optional comma-separated list of block types to be included -or ignored with this option. Use only one of --block-type or ---except-block-type. The valid block types are: STREAMINFO, -PADDING, APPLICATION, SEEKTABLE, VORBIS_COMMENT, PICTURE. You -may narrow down the types of APPLICATION blocks displayed as -follows: - -APPLICATION:abcd The APPLICATION block(s) whose textual repre- -sentation of the 4-byte ID is "abcd" -APPLICATION:0xXXXXXXXX The APPLICATION block(s) whose hexadecimal big- -endian representation of the 4-byte ID is -"0xXXXXXXXX". For the example "abcd" above the -hexadecimal equivalalent is 0x61626364 -.sp -.RS -.B "Note:" -if both --block-number and --[except-]block-type are -specified, the result is the logical AND of both -arguments. -.RE -.TP -\fB--application-data-format=hexdump|text\fR -If the application block you are displaying contains binary -data but your --data-format=text, you can display a hex dump -of the application data contents instead using ---application-data-format=hexdump. -.RE -.TP -\fB--remove\fR -Remove one or more metadata blocks from the metadata. Unless ---dont-use-padding is specified, the blocks will be replaced with -padding. You may not remove the STREAMINFO block. -.RS -.TP -\fB--block-number=#[,#[...]]\fR -.TP -\fB--block-type=type[,type[...]]\fR -.TP -\fB--except-block-type=type[,type[...]]\fR -See --list above for usage. -.sp -.RS -.B "Note:" -if both --block-number and --[except-]block-type are -specified, the result is the logical AND of both arguments. -.RE -.RE -.TP -\fB--remove-all\fR -Remove all metadata blocks (except the STREAMINFO block) from the -metadata. Unless --dont-use-padding is specified, the blocks will -be replaced with padding. -.TP -\fB--merge-padding\fR -Merge adjacent PADDING blocks into single blocks. -.TP -\fB--sort-padding\fR -Move all PADDING blocks to the end of the metadata and merge them -into a single block. -.SH "SEE ALSO" -.PP -flac(1). |
