Free filenames software for linux

renameit is an MP3 filename standardizer. It formats your MP3 filenames based on the ID3 tag info, removes embedded spaces, and notifies you when an MP3 has no ID3 tag.

This is an example for usage:
Some Song from some album.mp3 with ID3 Artist of "Some Dudez" and ID3 Trackname of "Some Song" ends up beingSome_Song(Some_Dudez).mp3

./addtag FileToBeTagged.mp3
It will prompt you for artist and track name, add the tag, and then move
the file up to the mp3s directory, where you can run renameit on it.

./batchrenameit
It will get all the mp3 filenames in top directory, and call renameit for
each.

./edittag FileToBeEdited.mp3
Displays current ID3 tag and prompts for edit. After edit, calls
renameit.

./batchtag
Mass file tagger. Gets all mp3 filenames in need_id3 directory and calls
addtag for each.

./batchtagedit
It will get all the mp3 filenames in this directory tree, and call edittag
for each. Great for adjusting things like bands named Perl Jam..altho that
might be a kewl name for a band ;)

./makeindexfile
This builds index.html for all mp3 files in this directory tree. The
index will only show the mp3 files.

File::Find::Closures is a Perl module with functions you can use with File::Find.

SYNOPSIS

use File::Find;
use File::Find::Closures qw(:all);

my( $wanted, $list_reporter ) = find_by_name( qw(README) );

File::Find::find( $wanted, @directories );
File::Find::find( { wanted => $wanted, ... }, @directories );

my @readmes = $list_reporter->();

SOME PARTS ARE NOT IMPLEMENTED YET! THIS IS ALPHA ALPHA SOFTWARE: A MERE SHELL OF AN IDEA.

I wrote this module as an example of both using closures and using File::Find. Students are always asking me what closures are good for, and heres some examples. The functions mostly stand alone (i.e. they dont need the rest of the module), so rather than creating a dependency in your code, just lift the parts you want).

When I use File::Find, I have two headaches---coming up with the &wanted function to pass to find(), and acculumating the files.

This module provides the &wanted functions as a closures that I can pass directly to find(). Actually, for each pre-made closure, I provide a closure to access the list of files too, so I dont have to create a new array to hold the results.

The filenames are the full path to the file as reported by File::Find.
Unless otherwise noted, the reporter closure returns a list of the filenames in list context and an anonymous array that is a copy (not a reference) of the original list. The filenames have been normalized by File::Spec::canonfile unless otherwise noted. The list of files has been processed by File::Spec::no_upwards so that "." and ".." (or their equivalents) do not show up in the list.

massrename is a general-purpose utility for batch-renaming file extensions, as well as strings within the base filename (for example, "SomeblehFile.mp3" to "SomeblahFile.mp3")
Usage: /usr/bin/massrename [ ARGUMENTS ] ...
Examples:
massrename --from mp3 --to ogg # rename *.mp3 to *.ogg
massrename -f ogg -t mp3 -n # rename *.ogg to *.mp3, no logging
Operation Modifiers:
Required arguments:
-f, --from source file extension or string to rename
-t, --to output file extension or string to rename to
Optional arguments:
-b, --beginning add a string to the beginning of the filename
-c, --change-dir DIR rename files in DIR instead of the current directory
-d, --dotfiles rename hidden files too
-e, --end add a string to the end of the filename
-h, --help display this help output and exit
-i, --ignore-case ignores filenames case when searching
for files to rename
-n, --no-logs dont make a log of renamed files
-p, --perl-rename use perls rename() function instead of the systems
"mv" command
-v, --version display version information and exit
-w, --within search for string within filename instead of extension
Enhancements:
- Minor bugfixes.
- The README file has been revised.
- An optional argument "--ignore-case" has been added, allowing massrename to ignore the case of filenames to be renamed at runtime.
- Debian and Red Hat package formats have been added.

icecream project is a non-interactive stream download utility.
It connects to icecast and shoutcast servers and redirects all fetched content to an stdin-capable player or to media files on your disk.
With an option turned on, it can save the stream into different files, each representing the played track. It is also possible to tee the input to both disk and stdout.
Enhancements:
- Support was added for formatted filenames (such as "podcast-%Y-%m-%d").

Sanefile is a tool to easily and quickly clean and change a large number of filenames. The idea started when I started “ripping” my own CD’s and the filenames were all different and full of errors. When I started getting TV downloads from other sources, the issue became a problem.

I had to find an efficient way of changing a large number of filenames. Sanefile was the result. Simple, single-purpose and very efficient at it with total exploitation of Tcl’s rich Regular Expression capabilities.

What this tool is NOT: spy-ware, spam-ware, virus or any other crappy stuff.

With Sanefile, you can use the full power of regular expressions. For instance, imagine that you want to filter off all files starting with a A. To use the just A would remove from the list all the files with A in it. Not the solution. If you use ^A (Carat and A) it means that it has to match A only at the beginning of the text.

More examples:

^text matches "text" in the beginning of the name
text$ matches "text" in the END of the filename
. matches ANY character
[ ] range indicator as in:
[a-z] matches ONE letter "a" to "z"
[a-zA-Z] matches ONE letter "a" to "z" and "A" to "Z"
[0-9] matches ONE digit
[^range] (caret) matches if NOT in the range as in:
[^0-9] matches if it is NOT a digit
* operator for repetition
.* matches everything
[0-9]* multiple digits
[^a-zA-Z0-9]* a bunch of everything BUT a letter or digit
escape operator
t tab
( when you want to match (
. when you want to match .
when you want to match (RARELY DONE! Think why.)
() used to group expressions
ab* a followed with multiple bs
(ab)* multiple ab (different from above!)

^Doors.*([A-Z][0-9]*).*.mp3$ Matches all files starting with Doors, have somewhere in the middle a letter followed by digits and end in ".mp3"

RFind indexes the filenames of a given directory, and allows you to quickly search this index with regular expressions. Search-on-typing with more than 500,000 indexed filenames is easily possible.
RFind attempts to be very configurable so that it can be useful to everyone. It features hierarchically presented search results, search-on-typing, and the ability to define rules to execute on mouse click.
Main features:
- Hierarchical presented search results
- Search-on-typing
- Define rules to execute on mouseclick

LoggedFS is a transparent fuse-filesystem which allows you to log every operation that happens in the backend filesystem.

Logs can be written to syslog, to a file, or to standard output. LoggedFS project comes with an XML configuration file in which you can choose exactly what you want to log.

You can add filters on users, operations (open, read, write, chown, chmod, etc.), filenames, and return codes.

Filenames filters are regular expressions. Since it is fuse-based, you dont need to change anything in your kernel or hard disk partition to use it.
