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.
