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.
