$ pcn --help$ npx prettier --write .Procrustes SmArT is a CLI utility for basic processing and copying of audio albums, mostly audiobooks of uncertain provenance to cheap mobile devices. Audiobooks in question can be poorly designed: track number tags may be missing or incorrect, directory and/or file names enumerated without leading zeroes, etc.
Procrustes SmArT renames directories and audio files, replacing tags, if necessary, while copying the album to destination. Source files and directories are not modified in any way. Files are copied sequentially, by default file number one first, optionally in reverse order, as some mobile devices are copy-order sensitive.
$ pcn [<options>] <source directory> <destination directory>-h, --help short description and options
-V, --version package version
-v, --verbose unless verbose, just progress bar is shown
-d, --drop-tracknumber do not set track numbers
-s, --strip-decorations strip file and directory name decorations
-f, --file-title use file name for title tag
-F, --file-title-num use numbered file name for title tag
-x, --sort-lex sort files lexicographically
-t, --tree-dst retain the tree structure of the source album at destination
-p, --drop-dst do not create destination directory
-r, --reverse copy files in reverse order (number one file is the last to be copied)
-w, --overwrite silently remove existing destination directory (not recommended)
-y, --dry-run without actually copying the files
-i, --prepend-subdir-name prepend current subdirectory name to a file name
-e, --file-type FILE_TYPE accept only audio files of the specified type
-u, --unified-name UNIFIED_NAME destination root directory name and file names are based on UNIFIED_NAME, serial nuber prepended, file extentions retained
-b, --album-num ALBUM_NUM 0..99; prepend ALBUM_NUM to the destination root directory name
-a --artist-tag ARTIST_TAG artist tag name
-g --album-tag ALBUM_TAG album tag name
Source Album $ pcn -a "Peter Crowcroft" -g "Mice All Over" . /run/media/user/F8950/Audiobooks/- Destination directory /run/media/user/F8950/Audiobooks/Source Album/ is created;
- Track numbers are set according to the natural sort order (file names ..., 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10...; regardless of the absence of the leading zeroes);
- Artist is set to Peter Crowcroft;
- Album is set to Mice All Over;
- Title is set to 1 P.C. - Mice All Over for the first file, all titles enumerated;
Source Album $ pcn -dst . /run/media/user/F8950/Audiobooks/- Source Album directory is copied to /run/media/user/F8950/Audiobooks/ in its entirety, without modification; sequential copy order, natural or lexicographical, is guaranteed.
