Syntax for tagging directories/folders/subfolders ?
brainbow1 opened this issue · 0 comments
Hello!
I just installed loudgain via Debian repositories and am spending hours reading the manual, readme and googling.. but dont really come closer to my goal, which just is:
-
scan and write replaygain 2.0 tags to my music library (a directory with lots of subdirectories, consisting of a mixture of .flac and .mp3-files), recursively!
-
only use track gain (My music is not sorted by Albums or Artists, but by Genres and Sub-Genres... I never listen to full Albums, as my collection consists of single tracks, picked from thousands of different albums out there. Thats why I want to use track gain, so I can have the same volume, even if Im creating a playlist, mixed with songs from various genres... does that make sense? If, from an audiophile standpoint that is complete nonsense, please let me know why :-) )
-
use default clipping prevention (-k)
-
delete any replaygain tags that has been written to the file before
Now the big question:
- with which syntax do I reach that goal?
- do I really need a bash-script? Im not into scripting and all that stuff. As my use scenario is always the same (as described in the goal), I would be just happy with an alias, that I set once in the bashrc, and thats it, so I just have to type the alias + the regarding directory that should be tagged.
- I also read this: https://github.com/Moonbase59/loudgain#loudgain-makes-it-easy-following-the-gold-standard
but I just cant figure out how to use loudgain recursively for a complete directory including subdirectories...
Maybe someone of you is able to help?
I would highly appreciate! Thank you for this program!
