I have been listening to IOT for years and have these downloads saved
for use locally.
Through time the BBC have delivered these programmes in slightly
different formats and I believe they are now also available from an
archive as podcasts, but I already have my own archive, albeit in
various formats.
My problem is that in the beginning the downloads were filtered, I
think by BBC but possibly by my filters long ago, into five categories
according to subject. The categories were Culture, History,
Philosophy, Religion and Science ...
Most media files contain metadata tags, including those downloaded from
the BBC. For mp3 files use `id3info` to see them. For m4a files use the
idiotically-named `AtomicParsley`. For example:
$ AtomicParsley In_Our_Time_-_John_Bull_m0018nsd_other.m4a --textdata
Atom "stik" contains: Normal
Atom "cprt" contains: 2022 British Broadcasting Corporation, all rights
reserved
Atom "©nam" contains: John Bull
Atom "©ART" contains: BBC Radio 4
Atom "aART" contains: BBC Radio
Atom "©alb" contains: In Our Time
Atom "©grp" contains: Factual,History,Discussion & Talk
Atom "©wrt" contains: BBC Sounds
Atom "©gen" contains: Factual
Atom "©cmt" contains: Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the origins and
evolution of the satirical everyman figure
Atom "©day" contains: 2022-06-30T09:00:00+01:00
Atom "©lyr" contains: Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the origin of this
personification of the English everyman and his development as both
British and Britain in the following centuries. He first appeared
blahblahblah ...
Hi David,
Not now at the machine where my GiP history resides but I have meanwhile
been confused further by the above reference to "Factual." I have not
seen any of my existing files which have been entered into a "Factual"
subdirectory. I only have the five directories Culture, History,
Philosophy, Religion and Science. Is there another category "Factual?"
I note the line Atom "©gen" contains: Factual. Is this genre? I wonder
if when I rebuilt my system I didn't get the pvr instruction correct and
if I ran it again this might do the sorting for me as the metadata will
still be available. Any ideas?
