TRACKCMP(1) 💖

Compare Audio Tracks — ok bestie, this is the trackcmp page from the audiotools girlies, and we're gonna read it together, no stress 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

trackcmp — compares one or more audio tracks for equivalence 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

trackcmp [OPTIONS] <track 1> <track 2>

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so picture this: trackcmp takes two audio tracks and compares their PCM data. that's the whole gig. the vibe check, but for raw audio.

If they are exactly the same, it prints no output and returns 0. silence = slay, that's the good ending. ✨

If they are not the same, a message is displayed and 1 is returned. 😭

and here's the plot twist — trackcmp may also take two directories as arguments. In that case, any audio files in both directories are compared as per a single file. and how does it know which is which? Track and album numbers are used to determine which file should be compared to which. iykyk 👑

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • -h, --help — show a list of options and exit. the "just tell me what you do" button 🙈
  • -j, --joint=PROCESSES — The maximum number of tracks to compare at one time. If one has multiple CPUs or CPU cores, allowing trackcmp(1) to use all of them simultaneously can greatly increase comparison speed. basically: more cores = more girlies working at once = faster. 💅
  • -S, --no-summary — suppress summary output. not me hiding the receipts 🙈
  • -V, --verbose=VERBOSITY — The level of output to display. Choose between 'normal', 'quiet' and 'debug. (that's the list, verbatim, don't @ me)
