2.2.1 scribbu dump Options

scribbu dump accepts the following options:

  1. -1|--id3v1-tags display only ID3v1 tags
  2. -D|--track-data display track data only
  3. -2|--id3v2-tags display only ID3v2 tags
  4. -i arg|--indent=arg indent all output arg spaces
  5. -g|--no-expand-genre don’t attempt to expand the genre when specified as a numeric constant
  6. -e regex|--expression=regex define a regular expression for filtering the files to be pretty-printed. For each file, its entire path will be matched against this regular expression before being pretty-printed (non-matches will be ignored).
  7. -f FMT|--format=FMT specify the desired output format; at present, only two values are supported for this option: standard, which is the default, pretty-prints the selectd portions of each file to stdout with one attribute (artist, title &c) per line. A format of csv will print one line in CSV format per file.

    The precise columns output in csv format will depend on the other options, but for ID3v2 tags include:

    version, revision, size, flags, unsynchronised, artist, title, album, genre, encoded by, year, languages, play count, comments

    for track data: size & MD5 checksum

    for ID3v1 tags: v1.1, extended, artist, title, album, year, comment & genre.

  8. -c ENC|--v1-encoding=ENC specify an encoding for ID3v1 tags (CP1252 by default). See See Character Encodings. for a complete list of the encodings supported and their identifiers.
