✨ aumeta — move seek index and adjust metadata of audio files ✨

okay bestie, welcome to aumeta, straight out of the hxtools family 💖 she's a little command-line cutie whose whole job is making your audio files stream-ready and, if you want, giving them a full metadata glow-up. let's get into it 🎀

🌸 SYNTAX 🌸

aumeta [-n] [-G genre] [-N tracknum] [-a artist] [-d iso8601date] [-l
album] [-m key=value] [-t title]

that's it. that's the whole vibe. ✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea, bestie ☕ — aumeta uses ffmpeg to reorder the seek index to the front, which is a fancy way of saying it makes streaming your audio files way smoother. it's giving main character energy for your media pipeline 💅

and, if you want, it'll also rewrite metadata in your audio files. like, optionally. no pressure. she's flexible like that 🫶

😭 important reality check: this tool has only been tested with MPEG-4 and Ogg-Opus containers. it is not working with MP3 — with MP3 it will be a no-op. so if you point it at an MP3 expecting magic, you're gonna get nothing and that's just how it is, ngl 💀

💅 OPTIONS 💅

every flag, bestie, no skips:

• -G string — set the genre</> in the metadata section to the value you give it 🎵
• -N number — set the track number</> in the metadata 🔢
• -a string — set the artist name</> in the metadata 🎤
• -d yyyy-mm-dd — set the datestamp</> in the metadata 📅
• -l string — set the album name</> in the metadata 💿
• -m key=value — set an arbitrary key/value pair</> in the metadata — yes, anything you want, go off 👑
• -n — remove any video content</> found in the file 🙈
• -t string — set the track title</> in the metadata ✨
