dbm is a command-line program. Basically, you use the -i and -o
options to specify the locations of the input music library, and the
output folder. So to run dbm, open a terminal window (aka command
prompt), use the cd command to move into the directory containing
the downloaded dbm files, and enter something like
python dbm.py -i E:\Music -o dbm-output-folder
on Windows, which might look like this on linux:
python dbm.py -i /media/ipod/Music -o dbm-output-folder
This example tells dbm to read a music library stored in a folder
called Music on an external drive (e.g. an ipod), and create a bunch
of output files and folders in a folder called
dbm-output-folder. This output folder will be created in whatever
folder you are in when you issue the command. If you've got a lot of
music, it'll take some time to read the library and make the
last.fm and musicbrainz web queries for every artist. You'll get
some output to look at, but I can't recommend doing that for
long.
IMPORTANT: Currently, dbm assumes artist music folders live in the
top level of the music library. Hopefully an example will make this
clear. Suppose that your music library is organised as follows:
-i E:\MusicFolders\AllMusic\Artist\Album\Track.mp3
Then dbm will work correctly if you use -i E:\MusicFolders\AllMusic, but it will not work correctly with -i E:\MusicFolders, nor with -i E:.
If there are no major problems, the output directory will contain the
following folders:
-
Random – random similar-music playlists for every artist encountered
-
Similar – links to music folders of similar artists, for every artist
-
Recommended – browsable list of absent but similar artists, for every artist
-
A-Z – an alphabetical directory of links to artist music folders
In addition, a file called album_report.txt will be created. This
lists album folders that have tracks lacking the musicbrainz ID tags
which dbm relies upon.
There are two extra options that you can use:
-
-m check for incomplete albums.
-
-n At the end of every run, dbm saves database files in a hidden
directory called ='.dbm'= in the output folder. This option tells
dbm to re-use those saved database files, rather than rescanning
your music library, which can take a long time.
To use these extra options, just supply -m or -n in addition to
the -i and -o options, e.g.
./dbm.py -m -i /media/ipod/Music -o dbm-output-folder
If you run dbm without any options, or do something it doesn't
understand, it will print out a help message like this
dbm version 0.10
Use -i and -o options to specify location of music library and output folder. E.g.
./dbm.py -i /media/ipod/music -o ~/music/ipod-dbm-output
To additionally check for incomplete albums, use -m
If you want to re-use saved database files in an existing output
directory rather than scanning your music library again, use -n.
To print this help message, use -h.
The playlist files are in the .m3u format, and can be transferred
to an mp3 player which supports them. If you are not running rockbox
on your mp3 player then I strongly suggest investigating it.
