Procrustes SmArT is a CLI utility for basic processing and copying of audio albums, mostly audiobooks of unknown provenance to cheap mobile devices. Audiobooks in question can be poorly designed: track number tags may be missing or incorrect, directory and/or file names enumerated without leading zeroes, etc.
Procrustes SmArT renames directories and audio files, replacing tags, if necessary, while copying the album to destination. Source files and directories are not modified in any way. Files are copied sequentially, by default file number one first, optionally in reverse order, as some mobile devices are copy-order sensitive.

Source Album $ pcf -a "Peter Crowcroft" -g "Mice All Over" . /run/media/user/F8950/Audiobooks/
-
Destination directory "/run/media/user/F8950/Audiobooks/Source Album/" is created;

-
Artist is set to Peter Crowcroft;
-
Album is set to Mice All Over;
-
Title is set to 1 P.C. - Mice All Over for the first file, all titles enumerated;
