-m, --merge

-o, --output STRING

Set output format to STRING

Anything enclosed by brackets is considered a field. A field must have the following syntax:

[TAG]

[TAG,WIDTH]

[TAG,WIDTH,SUFFIX]

[TAG,SUFFIX]

TAG is any of the following characters:

a

list of bitrates in Audiolist compatible format

b

bitrate with suffix (i.e. 192k)

B

bitrate in bps

d

depth; distance from respective basedir

f

number of audio files (including spacers)

l

length in minutes and seconds

L

length in seconds

m

time of last change

M

time of last change in seconds since the epoch

n

directory name (indented)

N

directory name

p

P

full path

q

s

S

size in bytes

t

T

bitrate type:

~

mixed files

C

constant bitrate

L

lossless compression

V

variable bitrate

WIDTH

defines the exact width of the field. The output is cropped to this width if needed. Negative values will give left aligned output. Cropping is always done on the right.

SUFFIX

lets you specify a unit to be concatenated to all non-empty data.

Other interpreted sequences are:

\[

[

\]

]

\n

new line

\t

tab character

Unescaped brackets are forbidden unless they define a field.

Note: If you have any whitespace in your output string you must put it inside quotes or otherwise it will not get parsed right.
