ANALYZER(1) analyzer User Manual ANALYZER(1)

NAME

analyzer - program to analyze the music file(s) and put the data into IMMS database

SYNOPSIS

analyzer filename [filename] [...]

DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the analyzer command.
This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.
analyzer is a second most important piece of imms suite. It takes the list of filenames with songs (currently only mp3 and ogg formats are supported), makes acoustic analysis of them and put gethered data to the database. Analysis is rather slow - it has to decode the entire file - so it will take a while, but analyzer is smart enough to skip files that have already been analyzed.
analyzer is running automatically by imms plugin, but you can also run it manually to analyze your whole music collection at once to benefit from acoustic correlations immediately.
You can run the analysis your whole archive using following command:
find /mnt/mp3 -type f -exec analyzer {} \;
For more sofisticated examples please see Tips and Tricks section of upstream homepage: http://imms.luminal.org/.
