DESCRIPTION

nomad-tool is a command-line program that controls a Creative Nomad II MP3 player. It can list the files in the device; upload files to the device; download files from the device; delete files from the device; rearrange files within the device; and list and modify the device's FM presets.

The Nomad II can contain two different memory devices: the built-in memory, and a SmartMedia card. When it is necessary to specify one or the other, nomad-tool uses a device number, where 1 refers to the internal memory, and 2 refers to the SmartMedia card. Additionally, individual files in a memory device are referred to by file index numbers, which are just indexes starting with 1. In the command synopses above, an argument D is a device number, while an argument FN is a file index number, while D:FN is a device number followed by a colon and a file index number.
 

USAGE

The following are the commands supported by nomad-tool:

nomad-tool version
Print the program's version number and exit.

nomad-tool list [-l]
List the files currently stored in the Nomad. If the -l flag is specified, additional information is printed.

nomad-tool upload D FILE...
Upload each FILE into the memory device specified by D.

nomad-tool move D:FN1 FN2
Change the order of the files in the device. The file in memory device D that is specified by file index FN1 is moved so that its position in the file list is in front of the file specified by index FN2. If FN2 is one greater than the largest file index, then the file is moved to the end of the list.

nomad-tool delete D:FN...
Delete the specified files. The program prompts for confirmation before deleting each specified file. Additionally, FN may be * which means all files on that device.

nomad-tool format D
Format the specified memory device. All files on the device will be deleted. The program prompts for confirmation before performing the formatting.

nomad-tool download D:FN...
Download files from the device to the current directory. The file index FN may be * which means to download all files on that device.

nomad-tool list-fm
List all of the FM presets on the device. Only presets that have been set are shown.

nomad-tool set-fm N FREQ...

Specified frequencies are checked for validity. They must be between 88.1 and 107.9, inclusive, and must have an odd fractional part.

nomad-tool clear-fm
