10 .B fapg [-b|--backslash] [-d|--debug] [-f|--format=m3u|pls|html] [-o|--output=
14 .B ] [-r|--recursive] [-w|--windows]
22 is a tool to generate list of audio files (Wav, MP3, Ogg, etc) in various
23 formats (M3U, PLS, HTML, etc). It is very useful if you have a large amount
24 of audio files and you want to quickly and frequently build a playlist.
26 It is coded in C to be as fast as possible, and does not use any specific

54 You have a file server using Samba which shares a large amount of
55 audio files for Windows powered computers using Winamp. The directory
56 on the server containing the files is
58 and is visible on the Windows network as
59 .I \\\\\\\server\\\mp3
61 .B fapg --backslash --output=/samba/mp3/list.m3u --prefix='\\server\mp3\' --recursive --windows /samba/mp3
