💿 flacon(1) — Flacon - Audio File Encoder

okay so bestie, you know that one giant audio file that's literally the whole album in one track? yeah. this is the girl who fixes that. manual section 1, general commands, we're in our CLI era 💅

✨ NAME ✨

flacon — Extracts audio tracks from an audio CD image to separate tracks.

like. it takes the big blob and gives you the individual songs back. iconic behavior honestly 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

flacon [options] [file]

that's it, that's the whole vibe. options go first, file goes after, or don't, she's flexible 🦋

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Flacon extracts individual tracks from one big audio file containing the entire album of music and saves them as separate audio files. no cap, that's the whole job.

the way it does this?? it uses information from the appropriate CUE file. the CUE file is like the map, the big audio file is the treasure, and flacon is the main character with a shovel 🫶

besides, Flacon makes it possible to conveniently revise or specify tags both for all tracks at once or for each tag separately. so you can go "everyone gets this album artist" and also go "but THIS track gets its own title, actually." lowkey the best part. tag editing that doesn't make you cry 😭

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • -s, --start — Start to convert immediately. no waiting, no clicking around, she's already going. 🔥
  • -c file, --config file — Specify an alternative configuration file. you want a different config? say less, point her at it.
  • -h, --help — Show help about options. the classic. she'll tell you about herself.
  • --version — Show version information. for when you need to know exactly which girl you're dealing with 👑

🌈 ARGUMENTS 🌈

  • file — CUE or Audio file. yes, either one. hand her the CUE, hand her the audio, she'll figure it out. 💜

🧚 ENVIRONMENT 🧚

  • FLACON_DEBUG_ENCODER — If variable is set, flacon print the encoder program arguments. set it and she'll spill the exact encoder args she's using. very "not me exposing my whole process" energy 🙈
  • FLACON_DEBUG_GAIN — If variable is set, flacon print the gain program arguments. same deal but for the gain program. the girl loves a debug flag, we respect it.

🎀 FILES 🎀

  • ~/.config/flacon/flacon.conf — This is the per-user configuration file. your personal config, living in your home directory, being cute, holding your settings. 🌸
