Command-line tool
A simple tool available for automation.
Since version 1.1.0, a command-line tool is available to process big music libraries or add some automation. This tool is built on the CakePHP Shell and can be used as below.
Import songs with the CLI
The CLI can be used to import a single audio file:
sonerezh/app $ Console/cake sonerezh import /home/user/Music/file.mp3
Welcome to CakePHP v2.8.1 Console
---------------------------------------------------------------
App : app
Path: /var/www/sonerezh/app/
---------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] You asked to import /home/user/Music/file.mp3. Continue? (yes/no)
[yes] >
[INFO] Run import: [100%] [#############################################]
It can also scan a directory:
sonerezh/app $ Console/cake sonerezh import /home/user/Music/an-album
Welcome to CakePHP v2.8.1 Console
---------------------------------------------------------------
App : app
Path: /var/www/sonerezh/app/
---------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] Scan /home/user/Music/an-album...
[INFO] Found 13 audio files (0 already in the database). Continue? (yes/no)
[yes] >
[INFO] Run import: [100%] [#############################################]
Or you can scan a complete folder tree using the --recursive option:
sonerezh/app $ Console/cake sonerezh import -r /home/user/Music
Welcome to CakePHP v2.8.1 Console
---------------------------------------------------------------
App : app
Path: /var/www/sonerezh/app/
---------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] Scan /home/user/Music...
[INFO] Found 614 audio files (13 already in the database). Continue? (yes/no)
[yes] >
[INFO] Run import: [100%] [#############################################]
The imported files are immediately available on the web interface.
