| 22 | Description: Maintain converted trees of audio files. |
| 23 | The `gremlin' program converts audio files in an input `master' directory |
| 24 | tree, which presumably contains high-quality (ideally lossless) encodings of |
| 25 | interesting audio, writing corresponding converted files to a collection of |
| 26 | output directory trees. It's non-interactive, idempotent, and restartable; |
| 27 | it never modifies its master tree. It's exactly the sort of thing you want |
| 28 | to install as a daily cron job. |
| 29 | . |
| 30 | The gremlin reads a configuration file which describes the conversion policy |
| 31 | for each of the output trees. The policy can say things like: copy MP3 |
| 32 | files up to 160kb/s, or Ogg Vorbis files up to 128kb/s; and convert |
| 33 | everything else to 128kb/s Ogg Vorbis. |
| 34 | . |
| 35 | The gremlin can also convert image files, such as cover art. |
| 36 | . |
| 37 | Input files can be anything which GStreamer and/or the Python Imaging |
| 38 | Library can understand; output files are more constrained, because the |
| 39 | gremlin has to be able to understand their relevant properties. The |
| 40 | currently supported audio formats are Ogg Vorbis and MP3; image formats are |
| 41 | JPEG, PNG, and BMP. |
