Free congregational songs software for linux

mp3CONVERT is a Kommander wizard for easy encoding mp3 songs. For example, when you need get your favourite album, which has 100mb to the cell phone with 40mb memory.

Songs is a graphical tool to record and mix audio files. It supports an infinite number of tracks, huge audio files, and various effects.
One important motivation for Songs was the need of a recording tool under Linux. There are some already existing (see the links below), but these are too complex, too huge, eat too much memory and resources. Small machines can be used to record and mix audio files, even with a graphical interface. Songs is trying to prove it.
The recording is done directly to disk, so that with small machines, whithout much memory you can still record.
There is a full duplex mode, but full duplex is not very well handled with OSS. You dont really know if your two streams of samples are synchronized or not, and the interface provided by OSS does not help much with that. So, currently, take the full duplex mode as is. You probably will need to move by hand audio tracks to let them be synchronized.
Main features:
- Unlimited number of tracks.
- Supports WAV files (mono, stereo). Only 44.1 KHz, 16 bits files are supported, because Songs was born mainly to help me create music I could store on audio digital compact disks.
- Supports raw float files (mono, stereo). Very useful when you are mixing and that you eat too much resources. Simply put in a new file your current mix, and use this new file instead of several ones. Using float numbers gives more precision of the intermediary mixing.
- Several effects (currently not that much, but it is planned).
- Not too much memory used. All the audio files are mapped directly into the memory, so that the Linux kernel can swap them very easily. It means that if your files can exist on your disk, any size they are, they can be used with Songs (with a soft limitation of virtual memory space, which depends on your setup, and a hard limitation of 2 GB, because of the use of signed integers, which currently are 32 bits numbers).
- Use of gtk 2.0, for the good and the bad. The good is that the interface was done quickly. The bad is that the gtk documentation is far from perfect, that gtk is not bug free, that I may use it the wrong way sometimes and that it may change in the future, forcing Songs to be changed (and what if the Songs authors dont feel the need to do so, for example by lack of time?).
Enhancements:
- sc1.c sc1_gui.c:
- New files, ripping a compressor from sc1_1425 coming from swh-plugins-0.4.11.tar.gz (see http://plugin.org.uk/).The compressor was buggy, sometimes in rms_env_process
- r->sum was negative, leading to NaN for the sqrt stuff.
- pan/vol/pos.c: Checking return value of malloc (no, it was not done, shame !).
- various files: Fixing a realloc misusing (doing realloc(size+=32) then size+=32, which finally means size+=64 but only allocing size+32 stuff, weirdy to find).
- help_gui.c: The "About" stuff only appeared once, fixing it.
- various files: Fixing bugs those last days, forgot to feed this Changelog.

RKOL Status is an extension which can be used to monitor the song, artist and number of users on a ShoutCast server.

This extension can be used to monitor the song, artist and number of users on a ShoutCast server. It was written specifically for Radio-KOL but will work for other ShoutCast servers.

It places a small icon in the lower right-hand corner of the window and displays the song and artist currently playing on the radio. The tooltip can display a multitude of other information including the name of the DJ, the last five songs played, and the schedule.

LongPlayer extends the functionality of a traditional MP3 player and is meant for people with a large MP3 or Ogg Vorbis collection who want to listen to it all day. LongPlayer chooses from dynamically generated collections of music to fill the MP3 players playlist.
It does this in a more advanced way than a traditional player, taking into account the rating of the song and the time that has passed since the song was last listened to. The GUI allows you to view, rate, replay, and delete songs previously listened to. It works with XMMS, WinAmp, and iTunes.
Enhancements:
- fixed crashes when there are no playlists

The volume normalizer plugin is an XMMS plugin that is used to give all songs the same volume level so that you wont need to play with the volume knob whenever a song changes.
Enhancements:
- Fixed build issues to make it build on x86-64 and detect missing xmms-devel files.

qSong project is a song database and a lyrics manager program with multimedia features.
Main features:
- Store and manage song lyrics
- One ssong can have multiple versions
- Song can have related songs
- Copyright information - authors and ccli
- Comprehensive authors database
- Attachment of multimedia files (sound files, picures, tabs...)
- Searching and sorting songs in many cathegories using tree view of the database
- Grouping songs in songbooks
- Every item in database can have comments
qSong is written in C++ with Qt4 library. It uses SQlite3 as a database backend so it is easy to acces the song database in standard way by 3rd party SQL tools through database intercaces as ODCB or JDBC.
I have chosen this platform because is very portable, relatively fast and easy to extendable with plugins.
