what version 0.00_07 ================= ABSTRACT What is a package of open source command-line tools for What users. This is not a package of tools for seedboxes. This is meant to help Joe Everyuser get a good ratio. The package currently centers around creating releases. More libraries and programs will be added depending on user feedback. PACKAGE FEATURES This package can: Organize your all your releases into a user navigatable hierarchy. Create release descriptions. Create M3U playlists for releases. Convert M3U playlists for different format releases. Convert a FLAC release to: MP3 with 320, V0, or V2 bitrate settings. Ogg Vorbis with -q8 quality setting. AAC with ~256 ABR setting (don't use; FAAC sucks). Re-release FLAC / Log 100% / Cue snatches for tag trumps & better.php. Create torrents for releases. Convert release images to lower res versions for web hosting. Make you a sandwich, if you have permissions. PACKAGE DEFECIENCIES This package will probably never: Rip CDs to FLAC. Upload torrents. This package can not currently: Score FLAC rip logs (coming). Perform multi-threaded conversions (soon hopefully). Create release descriptions. Make good MP3s w/ non-Latin-1 tags (=> mojibake (lame: L 2 utf-8)). Handle bandcamp.com releases (they keep getting more clever or something). Manage your personal media library. Manage your personal media archival/backup. Make Apple Lossless coversions (meh). Make 'perfect' AAC 320 CBR conversions (no good portable lib/app). The above list is pretty much a todo list. DOCUMENTATION For help installing, read 'INSTALL'. For general information about what a release is and the upload hierarchy, read 'docs/RELEASE'. For help uploading/releasing, re-releasing/importing, and converting to other formats, read 'docs/UPLOADING'.
