NAME
wm2xmcd - workman-to-xmcd CD database file converter
SYNOPSIS
wm2xmcd [-v n] [-d outdir] [-c] workmandb ...
DESCRIPTION
Similar in function to xmcd, workman is a CD audio player utility for
the X window system, but uses the XView/Open Look interface. Wm2xmcd
is a simple program that converts workman CD database files to the xmcd
format. A specified workman CD database file is used as input and Xmcd
CD database files are generated.
OPTIONS
Wm2xmcd supports the following options:
-v n Specifies level of verbosity of output diagnostics. Currently
the levels 0 through 3 are supported. Level 0 is the "quietest"
whereas level 3 generates lots of messages.
-d outdir
Specifies the output directory. The default is cddb under the
current directory. If the -c option is also specified, then
subdirectories under outdir will be created.
-c With this option, wm2xmcd will prompt the user to type a
category name for each CD entry to be converted. Each category
will be a subdirectory under the output directory.
NOTES
Workman uses a complex multi-line track title description scheme,
whereas xmcd uses a simple list of single-line titles. Xmcd has
flexible free-form text fields associated with the CD as well as each
track. Wm2xmcd currently expands the multi-line workman track entries
into a format that fits the xmcd list, but does not use the free-form
text fields.
Some workman database keywords are ignored by this utility, notably
those that correspond to workman features that are irrelevant in xmcd.
