metaflac - 2022-04-22

i want to separate my flac files by sample rate; metaflac does not pipe:-(

for dir in ~/Hi-Def-Rips/*; do pathstring="$dir/*.flac"; metaflac --show-sample-rate $pathstring >> flacaudit.txt; done;

almost certainly not the most elegant bash; but it works:-) presumes the dir structure that i use.

grep flacaudit.txt for a sample rate.

cat flacaudit.txt | grep 44100

sort by sample rate:

sort -k2 -t : flacaudit.txt

• -k2 sort on the second field.

• -t : use : as a field separator.

might be a more capable script yet - if i remember or have the time!
