WirelessEncodeSync

Wireless encode and sync script intended for android music collections. Warning: This will delete all music on your phone that isn't also on your computer.

To sync:

1. Download an FTP server android app
   • For me, "FTP Server" by "Rapfox" worked well
   • Make sure you set /sdcard or /mnt/sdcard as the root folder
2. Change settings at the top of Manage.sh (see "Settings" below)
3. Run ./Manage.sh
   • You may need to set the executable permission on the scripts
   • Use a cron job if you want to the the script more than once
4. Refresh your phone's music library (PowerAMP can do this)

Dependencies:

• lftp
• libmp3lame0
• notify-osd (optional, used to notify user at key points)
• gnu parallels (optional, used to speed up encoding - 2 cores: double speed, 4 cores: quad speed, etc..)

Under the hood:

1. Check to see if the user deleted any files from their collection
2. Loop through each file in the user's music collection
   1. Make sure it is a music file
   2. Decide what to do with the file
      • If it is a lossless file, encode it to the set bitrate and copy to the encode directory
      • If it is an mp3 file above the set bitrate, encode it to a lower bitrate and copy to the encode directory
      • If it is an mp3 file equal to or below the set bitrate, create a symbolic link to it in the encode directory
3. Connect to the phone using FTP
4. Synchronize the phone to the encode directory

Other Information:

• Synchronization is one way only, the music files on your computer will never be affected
• The script is currently set to accept mp3, flac, and wav files, but you may be able to add more by modifying Encode.sh
• No checks are made to make sure the phone's storage capacity is not exceeded
• If you find any problems, email [email protected]
• Make sure your playlists have relative (not absolute) links
