✨ TUNES2POD(1) ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the tunes2pod.pl page — it lives in the User Commands section of the manual, and this is version 1.00. pull up a chair, we're converting things 💅

🎀 NAME 🎀

tunes2pod.pl — literally the manual page for tunes2pod.pl version 1.00. no cap, that's the whole name section. iconic.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

tunes2pod.pl [OPTION]...

so yeah, you run it, you can hand it some options, and it does its thing. periodt.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

the main character job of this script? it takes an iTunesDB and converts it into XML — aka GNUtunesDB.xml. that's the vibe. 🎧

now let's meet the options, because they're the whole personality here:

  • --help — shows you this help and then exits. your bestie when you're lost 🫶
  • --version — prints the version info and dips out. short and sweet ✨
  • -m, --mount=DIRECTORY — the iPod mountpoint, i.e. where your iPod is actually mounted. the default is $IPOD_MOUNTPOINT. if you don't tell it where, it's gonna assume that env var, so like... set it or pass this flag, fr fr 📍
  • --force — this one turns off the 'sync' checking. and ngl, the manpage itself warns you that tunes2pod.pl may do stupid things when you use it :) so use it with caution, bestie 💀
real talk: --force disables the 'sync' check, and the original literally admits the script "may do stupid things :)" — that smiley is a threat, not a promise 🙈
