list Lists files in the database

clear Clears all entries from databases without removing

any files

pack Removes unused space from databases

addtopl

Add files to playlist

editpl Edit contents of playlist

delpl Delete playlist

-m Specify a mountpoint

-c Specify an alternate config directory

COMMAND DETAIL

positron sync

Copies any new music tracks from the directories

specified in the configuration file to the Neuros. It also copies

new FM or microphone recordings from the Neuros to your computer.

Positron remembers which tracks have been removed with positron

del and will not add them again when you sync.

positron sync --reset-deleted

Clears the list of deleted files.

positron sync --reset-recordings

Clears the list of already-transferred recordings.

positron add <sourcefile> <targetfile>

Copies sourcefile to targetfile (path on the Neuros

that does not exist).

positron add <sourcefile1> <sourcefile2> ... <targetdir>

Copies sourcefiles to targetdir (a directory on the

Neuros that already exists).

positron add <sourcefile1> <sourcefile2> ...

Copies sourcefiles to the default music directory.

Files that are already on the Neuros will not be overwrit

ten, but just added to the database if not already present. Non

music files are ignored.

positron del [files or directories]

Deletes a list of files and/or directories on the

Neuros itself (ex: /mnt/neuros/music/rock) to be removed. Both

the file on disk and the database entries are deleted.

Only files referenced in the database will be removed, as

well as empty directories.

positron addtopl <playlist> <neurosfile1> <neurosfile2>

...

Add files to playlist, in order, creating the

playlist if necessary. The files are those on the Neuros.

positron editpl <playlist>

Invoke editor to allow you to move or remove files

from the playlist.

positron delpl <playlist>

Delete the specified playlist.

positron config

Asks several questions and creates a new configura

tion set. Also allows the current configuration to be edited.

positron rebuild

Rebuilds all the databases from scratch. Positron

will locate all of the music files already on the Neuros and put

their entries back into your databse as best as it can guess. The

database of music stored on your computer ("pcaudio") is cleared

and all HiSi clips will be marked as unidentified.

positron list

List files in the audio database.

positron list <database1> <database2> ...

Lists all entries from a particular database. Valid

database names are: audio, pcaudio, unidedhisi, idedhisi, failed

hisi.

positron clear

Clears all databases.

positron clear <database1> <database2> ...

Clears all entries from a particular database.

Valid database names are: audio, pcaudio, unidedhisi, idedhisi,

failedhisi.

The clear command never removes files.

BUGS

The playlist commands are very basic and not well inte

grated. In particular, doing a positron rebuild will lose all

your playlists.
