DESCRIPTION
$ mp3find [options] [directory] [<-field> <pattern> [<-field> <pattern> ...]]
The real guts of the operation are in MP3::Find.
OPTIONS
"-ignore-case", "-i"
Case insensitive matching.
"-exact-match", "-w"
All search patterns must match the entire value, and not just a
substring. This has the same effect as putting a "^" and "$" around
each pattern.
"-sort"
Which ID3 fields to sort the results by; separate multiple fields
with commas. The default behavior just returns the filenames in the
order that File::Find finds them.
"-printf"
The output format for each file found. The available format codes
are:
%a - artist
%t - title
%b - album
%n - track number
%y - year
%g - genre
%% - literal '%'
Numeric modifiers may be used; they are interpreted like modifiers
to the %s code in Perl's "printf" function.
If no "-printf" option is used, the full path to the file is
printed instead.
"-<field> <pattern> [patterns...]"
The fields you are searching on. More than one pattern for a given
field are combined with 'OR', while the fields to be matched are
'AND'-ed together. For the list of recognized fields, see
MP3::Find.
