ID3FS(8)

NAME
id3fs - refuse-based virtual file system to display mp3 tree by id3 tags

SYNOPSIS
id3fs [-v] file ... -p music-directory mount_point

DESCRIPTION
The id3fs utility can be used to mount a number of directory tree under the mount point, using id3 tags to make the artists, genres and years appear as virtual directories. The id3fs utility makes use of the virtdir(3) virtual directory routines. Underneath those virtual directories, the individual trackes will be displayed by category, allowing a different view of the id3-tagged files from the standard one.

The refuse(3) library is used to provide the file system features.

The mandatory parameter is the local mount point.

The id3 package, found in pkgsrc/audio/id3, is necessary to run this package.

Two shel lscripts are also included, which must be used to build up an id3 database in advance. First id3info.sh must be run, followed by id3db.sh.

SEE ALSO
librefuse(3), puffs(3), virtdir(3).

HISTORY
The id3fs utility first appeared in NetBSD 5.0.
