Free albums software for linux

Album Shaper is a graphical application used to create, maintain, and share photo albums using open formats like HTML, XSLT, and JPG.
Two-layer albums can be created in a drag-n-drop interface which allows quick and easy arrangement and catagorization of photos. Batch rotations make getting your photos ready a quick and easy task.
You can also crop, enhance, and manipulate your photos using a powerful but intuitive editing interface. Photos, collections, and albums themselves can be labeled as needed and modified at a later time by saving and loading from a simple XML format.
Albums are exported as HTML which can then be posted directly on the web or viewed straight from your hard drive.
While mainly a bugfix release, Album Shaper 2.1 adds complete French and German translations, a new Radiant theme, and a new Mosaic image manipulation.
The compilation and installation process for Linux/FreeBSD users has also seen significant
improvements.

Albummer is a simple browser for mp3 collections. It is intended for use with collections of whole albums, rather than individual tracks.
Main features:
- Consolidated view of multiple folders containing albums
- Find album covers with Google
- Play a random album from the collection
- Runs on Windows and Linux (and probably others)
- Plays music in your favourite player
Version restrictions:
- Makes a lot of assumptions about how your collection is organised
- Searching for album covers sometimes hangs
- User preferences are very primitive (you have to edit a Python code fragment)
Installation:
1. Install dependencies (see below)
2. Extract the Albummer tar file to a location of your choice
3. Edit config.py to point to your album folders (a nicer way to do this is planned for a future release)
4. Run albummer.py to start Albummer

MP3::Album is a Perl extension to manage a music album built of mp3 files.

SYNOPSIS

use MP3::Album;

$mp3_album = MP3::Album->new(files=>@files);

#check is as set of mp3 has a uniform encoding
if ($mp3_album->bitrate_check()) &&
$mp3_album->frequency_check()) {
print "This set of mp3 is well encodedn";
} else {
print "not so goodn";
}

#get tracks and artistic information (layout) from cddb
@layouts = $mp3_album->fetch_layout(method=>CDDB);

#using one of the above matches to generate tags
$mp3_album->layout($layouts[0]); # set the album layout to
# on of your choice
$mp3_album->generate_tags();

#and then rename the files
$mp3_album->rename_files();

The general idea is to assume you can construct a set of mp3 files that , burnt into a cd, is equal to the "original" cd album. This modules helps to check if in every case this assumption is valid, and gives a set of utilities to manage that set of mp3 (ie: Generate mp3 tags or rename files according to a cddb match).

The so called album info is divided into two sets: the technical info and the layout info.

Technical info

Gives all the information about the mp3 file and about the album as a group of those files. For an example it gives you the general encoding(s) of the album and if it has a uniform encoding (all the tracks are encoding at the same bitrate).

Layout info

Gives you all the information about the disc layout. This is track names, album artist, etc. You can get layouts of various ways; for now three of them where implemented : information extracted from mp3 tags, from cddb, imported from a text file. for more info about the layouts read the perldoc of MP3::Album::Layout

XMMS Album List is a Unix application for loading directories of audio files into XMMS, similar in concept to the Winamp plugin AlbumList. XMMS Album List is written in Perl using Gtk2-Perl, MP3::Info, and Xmms::Perl (the latter being available on CPAN).
This is my first application using GTK+, or XMMSs plugin API, and was mainly written because I was tired of not having AlbumList around in Debian. Thus, its very rough around the edges. I welcome patches.
At first I tried writing this in C using GTK+ and libxmms, but I seem to have ran into some problems with xmms_remote_playlist_add() freezing XMMS.
I figured Id give GtkPerl a shot, and found it to be much much easier to deal with. The result is this.
Version 2 has been completely rewritten, using gtk2-perl and Glade to design the user interface. Thus, you need libglade and Gtk2::GladeXML.
And an explanation of the controls:
- Add Path: brings up a file selection dialog. Pick a directory, and that directory and any below it will be recursively searched for directories that hold songs. Only these will be added to the list.
- Refresh: refreshes the main display
- Clear Albums: clears the main window and the saved album list
- Load Album: clears XMMSs playlist, and loads the currently selected album (directory) into XMMS. This can also be accomplished by double clicking a row.
- Enqueue Album: loads an album without clearing XMMSs playlist.

MyPhotoalbum is a PHP software that allows to easily create and maintain photo albums in the World Wide Web.
The project was developed by Phill Kenoyer, starting more than four years ago, and he decided that the development was complete for his needs about two years and a half ago.
Then I (Tirs Abril) found it in Freshmeat and I really liked it, but I have some needs the program did not cover (i.e. multi-language, because some of my friends dont speak Spanish and some others dont speak English), so I decided to continue development.
It needs only a PHP-capable web server (at least Apache, not tested in others yet, please let me know the results if you try). No SQL databases nor any other software needed (well, maybe a text editor if you want to change the default settings and/or create the picture descriptions comfortably, but who doesnt have vi or notepad?).
It is multi-language, so you can create albums in serveral languages. Currently I include Spanish, English and Japanese, but you can easily add your own. See the directory MANUAL, especially the file USAGE, for details.
It allows a different "look-and-feel" (colour schemes, etc) for each album, or maybe just for a few "special" albums while the rest have a default look, via CSS files.
Enhancements:
- Batch uploading and automatic resizing were added.
- Batch uploading allows you to upload many images at once in the form of a zip file.
- Automatic resizing means that uploaded images will be automatically resized down to a predefined (configurable) size if they are too big.
