Hi all,
While I was busy sorting out my music collection, I discovered that
file(1) had no Ogg/Vorbis (or Ogg/* for that matter) support yet. Is
there anyone working on support for this or am I using an outdated
version of file(1) ? file(1) has extensive MP3 support. Compare the
following :
$ file */*.ogg | grep 01
Busta Rhymes - Genesis/01 Intro.ogg: data
De La Soul - Aoi Bionix/01 Intro.ogg: data
Dilated Peoples - Expansion Team/01 Live On Stage.ogg: data
Muse - The Origin Of Symmetry/01 New Born.ogg: data
Within Temptation - Mother Earth/CD1-01 Mother Earth.ogg: data
$ find . -type f -name \*.mp3 -exec file \{\} \; | manualgrep
Winamp/demo.mp3: MPEG 2.0 layer 3 audio stream data, 56 kBit/s, 22.05 kHz,
jstereo
Music/druid-pa.mp3: MPEG 1.0 layer 3 audio stream data, 160 kBit/s, 44.1 kHz,
stereo
Music/ScoobySnacks.mp3: MPEG 1.0 layer 3 audio stream data, 256 kBit/s, 44.1
kHz, stereo
For mp3's it shows me MPEG type (1.0 or 2.0), bitrate, samplerate and
channelinfo; for ogg's it just says data. Hey, I know it's data ;) For
total world domination (or what was that goal again) I think file
support is quite desireable.
Does anybody know how file(1) works anyway ? ;) From reading some
magic(5) I got quite light-headed .. I think someone cast a spell(8)
on it ;P
Cheers,
Paul 'WEiRD' de Weerd
