trm(1)

NAME

trm -- calculate the TRM acoustic fingerprint for an audio
file

SYNOPSIS

trm [-i]  [-l]  [mp3 | ogg/vorbis | wav | flac file]

DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the trm command.

This manual page was written for the Debian distribution
because the original program does not have a manual page.
trm will decode the first 30 seconds of the audio file en
code it, query the TRM server for a TRM id and then spit out that
TRM id (see http://www.relatable.com for details) on stdout. If
some error occurs, the error message is printed to stderr.
Note that this means that information about the audio file
is sent to the TRM server.
TRM is an audio fingerprinting technology that generates a
unique fingerprint for an audio file based on an analysis of the
acoustic properties of the audio itself. Each audio fingerprint
is unique and can be used to identify a track precisely, regard
less of whether any associated text identifiers are present or
accurate.
The program takes and understands OGG, MP3, FLAC and WAV
as input files. It calculates the TRM with the help of the Mu
sicbrainz library libmusicbrainz2.

OPTIONS

-l Lookup file at MusicBrainz (starts $BROWSER).

-i Print out track metadata along with TRM id.
