MPGENPLAYLISTS(1) mpgenplaylists MPGENPLAYLISTS(1)NAME
mpgenplaylists - generate mpd playlists for each subdirectory of music
SYNOPSIS
mpgenplaylists
DESCRIPTION
mpgenplaylists generates mpd playlists.
It reads your ~/.mpdconf or /etc/mpd.conf to figure out where mpd keeps its music directory and playlist directory.
For each subdirectory of the music directory, a playlist is generated in the playlist directory. The playlists created by this tool always
start with a space to avoid conflicts with your manually created playlists.
So if you keep your sound in Artist/Album/ directories, you'll get playlists named like " Artist - Album", and also playlists named just "
Artist" that contain all music by that artist. An " all" playlist is also created, that contains all your music.
Each time it's run it updates the playlists, and removes any obsolete ones that it created before.
LIMITATIONS
It does not currently sort songs in an album by track number, but instead sorts by filename.

gjay - organizes music collections
SYNOPSIS
gjay [-a file] [-c color] [-d] [-f] file] [-l length] [-p] [-s] [-u] [-v verbosity] [-P]
gjay [-hV]
DESCRIPTION
gjay (Gtk+ DJ) analyzes and categorizes collections of MP3, OGG, FLAC and WAV music files so that interesting playlists can be generated.
Each song is assigned characteristics (BPM and spectrum) and user-assigned attributes (rating and color). "Color" is just a handy way for a
user to describe a song.
gjay has both a user-visible interface and a background processing component. The user-visible component is used to select the base music
directory, set song attributes, and generate playlists. The background component (the daemon) analyzes songs.
Song analysis can take a while. After the base music directory has been set and the daemon has started its analysis, it is possible to quit
the user interface portion of the program and allow the daemon to continue in the background. GJay can be started in daemon mode by passing
-d, in which case it runs until song analysis is complete. It's OK to kill or ctrl+c to quit a running daemon; it saves data as it goes
along.
You can create playlists from within the GJay or from the command line. If you generate a playlist from the command line, the previous
session's playlist preferences for the importance of various attributes will be used.
OPTIONS -a file, --analyze-standalone=file
