audiolink - Create AudioLink config file, databases and tables
audiolink [OPTION]...
AudioLink is a set of programs which help you manage your music collection. It makes searching for music on your local storage media easier and faster. Your searches can include a variety of criteria, like male artists, female artists, band, genre, etc.
It supports music files of MP3 and Ogg Vorbis formats.
audiolink assists you in creating a configuration file for oft-used options passed to the AudioLink programs and creating the MySQL database and tables which the AudioLink programs, alfilldb(1) and alsearch(1) use.
The options specified on the command prompt override the options specified in the config file.
The user and password fields for the database have to be specified. There are three ways of doing this:
alfilldb --user=mysql_username --pass=mysql_password --prompt=basic /songs/
alsearch --user=mysql_username --pass=mysql_password --artist=kishore --td=/songs/kishore
If you are using bash, ksh, zsh or sh do this:
export DBI_USER=mysql_username
export DBI_PASS=mysql_password
If you are using csh or tcsh, do this:
setenv DBI_USER mysql_username
setenv DBI_USER mysql_password
Consult the man page of the respective shell interpreter that you use for help on environment variables.
The AudioLink configuration file config resides in the .audiolink/ directory in the user's home directory ($HOME/.audiolink/config).
The format of the current config file is pretty easy to understand:
Just put in a = b on separate lines for all the options you want the
AudioLink scripts to use by default. Here, a is the option name, like
user, password, host, etc., and b is the value you wish to associate
the option with. For example, to set the username for accessing the
database to 'root', you would put this in the config file:
user = root
