TRACKLENGTH(1)
๐ TRACKLENGTH ๐
okay bestie, so like โ this is tracklength, a lil tool from the Track Length fam that does exactly one thing and does it flawlessly. it counts up how long all your tracks are. that's it. that's the gig. and honestly? iconic. โจ
๐ธ SYNOPSIS ๐ธ
tracklength [OPTIONS] <track 1> [track 2] ...
like, you hand it some tracks, it does math. no cap. ๐งฎ
๐ DESCRIPTION ๐
so here's the vibe: tracklength takes a whole list of audio tracks and adds up their total length, then writes that number to standard output in hours:minutes:seconds format. yes, hours. as in, your playlist is genuinely that long. not me being shook ๐ญ
and here's the part that's lowkey the best feature โ if you give it directories instead of (or along with) files, it goes recursively digging through them, finds every supported audio file it can, and adds all of their lengths to the total too. it's giving detective energy. it's giving thorough. we love a completionist queen. ๐
so you can literally just point it at a folder and go "how long is everything in here" and it will tell you. slay. ๐
โจ OPTIONS โจ
-h,--helpโ shows you the whole list of options and then dips out. exit stage left. ๐ฌ
