       tracklint  takes  a  list of audio tracks, examines their metadata for common problems and suggests fixes
       for them. If directories are given, tracklint searches them recursively and suggests fixes for any  audio
       tracks  found.  tracklint  can  also  perform  any  suggested  metadata  fixes if requested, and undo any
       performed fixes if an undo database was used.

       The following fixes are performed on each track:

       • Leading zeroes are stripped from track number and album number fields.  For  example,  a  track  number
       value of "01" is changed to "1".

       •  If  the  track  number  field  is  between 100 and 999, the leading digit becomes the album number and
       trailing two digits becomes the track number. For example, a track number value of "213"  results  in  an
       album number of "2" and a track number of "13".

       • If the performer name is the same as the artist name, the redundant performer name field is removed.

       • Leading or trailing whitespace is removed from fields. For example, a track name value of "Some Title "
       becomes "Some Title".

       • Empty fields are removed.

       • Embedded images with invalid metadata fields such as width or height are fixed.

       • ID3v2 and ID3v1 tags are stripped from FLAC files.

       • FLAC files with misordered STREAMINFO blocks are reordered.

       •  A  WAVEFORMATEXTENSIBLE_CHANNEL_MASK tag is added to multi-channel or 24 bits-per-sample FLAC files if
       one isn't present in its metadata.
