Free cue software for linux

xmmsCue offers extreme quick access to the audio files.

Textphrases, regular expressions or foldernames limits the tracks to certain files.

Queue or enqueue to the media player. Tested with xmms, but adjustable for other command line supported Players.

With auto cueing function, but depends on infoPipe for xmms. This is a clone of "WinCue for Winamp".

xmms-cueinfo is a plugin for XMMS that adds support for reading cue files. Cue files describe what tracks a single audio file contains, including performer and title information.

This makes it possible to rip a full CD into a single audio file. (The reason people do this is because of the audible gaps that occur when the software switches between two files.

However, these gaps are generally shorter in unix-based operating systems than in Windows due to the simpler file I/O subsystem. There are also no-gap plugins for many players now, so there arent really any good reasons for ripping CDs like this nowadays.) xmms-cueinfo also makes it easy to seek to each track mentioned in the cue file.

CDemu is a kernel module for Linux. It is designed to simulate a CD drive + CD with just simple cue/bin files, which are pretty common in the Windows world.
You can use it to watch an SVCD or mount the data track of an bin/cue. However, for watching an SVCD, we would recommend MPlayer which can play bin/cue images directly with the patch a friend and I made for it (more under History).
Status:
- Using CDemu on multi user systems should be safe now. Any user can mount an image in an empty CDemu slot while only the user (and root) can unmount a slot that is already in use.
- Many users have reported SMP issues (varying from lock ups to very poor performance). Weve had an user send us a threading patch to avoid locking issues, but it is 2.4-centric. So, before it can be added to CVS, it needs to be generalized to support 2.4 and 2.6. Unfortunately, none of the CDemu developers have access to SMP systems so the best testing we can do involves it looks good :). CDemu-0.6 final should resolve these issues.
- Looking ahead: CDemu was first created to support bin/cue images. Ideally, wed like to be able to support Nero (.nrg), Disc Juggler (.cdi), Clone CD (.ccd), etc... Anyone with spare time and spare patches would be appreciated.
Installation:
The install is quite simple:
extract the archive (release tarball):
$ tar -jxvf cdemu- .tar.bz2
checkout the code from cvs:
$ cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/cdemu co -P cdemu
you need the source of your current running kernel.
/lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build/include needs to point at it.
build the module:
$ make
install the module and user space utilities:
$ sudo make install
now simply load the kernel module:
$ sudo modprobe cdemu
(no message should be displayed after running modprobe)
to load a bin/cue image:
$ cdemu 0 image.cue
$ mount /dev/cdemu/0 /mnt/cdrom
(some things may be different on your system, YMMV)
for more information, please review the help output:
$ cdemu -h
Enhancements:
- This version only supports kernel versions 2.6.16 and higher.
- The 2.4 series is no longer supported.
- cdemu now has file access like in a loop module.
- It should now work on amd64 and SMP systems.
- Support for .iso, .mds, .ccd, and .nrg images was added.
- Some documentation was added.
- Bugfixes were made.

XScanMaster is a program to control intelligent lights using DMX512, based on the fixture library from GrandMA-firmware. The DMX512 output is done using DMX4Linux, which offers support for most common interfaces and many DMX512 lines.

Also included are functions to control fixtures movements in calibrated reference environments. More than one reference setting can be added to any fixture, and any fixture can be selected to run in one of its reference environments or not.

In the environment the user can control the fixture in different coordinate systems. Sceens and cues can be recorded on a fixture:feature base.

Both can be included in other sceens or cues. Playing sceens/cues can be done from one or more "replay units"; each replay unit can run any program at a given speed (beatcounters are included).

Scorched 3D project is a game based loosely (or actually quite heavily now) on the classic DOS game Scorched Earth "The Mother Of All Games". Scorched 3D adds amongst other new features a 3D island environment and LAN and internet play. Scorched 3D is totally free and is available for both Microsoft Windows and Unix (Linux, FreeBSD, Mac OS X, Solaris etc.) operating systems.
You can pick up the game and begin playing very quickly. Then, when/if you are interested, you can poke in the dimmer recesses of the game and get into the strategy (or just ignore it altogether!).
At its lowest level, Scorched 3D is just an artillery game with two+ tanks taking turns to destroy opponents in an arena. Choose the angle, direction and power of each shot, launch your weapon, and try to blow up other tanks. Thats basically it.
But Scorched 3D can be a lot more complex than that, if you want it to be. You can earn money from successful battles and use it to invest in additional weapons and accessories. You can play with up to twenty four other players at a time, mixing computer players with humans.
Theres a variety of changing environmental conditions and terrains to be dealt with. After the end of each round (which ends when everybody dies or theres only one person left), you get to buy stuff using the prize money you won from previous matches.

These two scripts were made to simplify the mount of file *.iso . AcetoneISO is perfectly integrated in KDE and it takes use of KDESU.

They are 2 simply scripts that autamatically creates a folder on Your Desktop and mounts the ISO file that is on the Deskop. Be sure that on your desktop there is only 1 iso file or else it will mount the iso file giving priority(i suppose) to the ascii code.

HOW TO USE :

1) mount and unmount ISO and MDF(if iso-9660 standard)
2) Convert BIN/CUE, MDF, DAT, NRG, CCD/IMG, CDI, XBOX to ISO
3) Burn Your ISO, CUE, TOC images directly in K3b
4) verify md5sum of image files
5) ability to create ISO from Folder and CD/DVD
6) Mount, unmount, create ISO from Folder or CD/DVD from servicemenu
7) Play a DVD-Movie ISO with Kaffeine, Mplayer or VLC from GUI or servicemenu(only kaffeine)
8) Split ISOs in smaller files of 649MB or 125MB ad merge them
9) Force the mount/eject of a CD/DVD media in your device

FLAC is Free Lossless Audio Codec. Grossly oversimplified, FLAC is similar to MP3, but lossless, meaning that audio is compressed in FLAC without any loss in quality.
This is similar to how Zip works, except with FLAC you will get much better compression because it is designed specifically for audio, and you can play back compressed FLAC files in your favorite player (or your car or home stereo, see supported devices) just like you would an MP3 file.
FLAC is freely available and supported on most operating systems, including Windows, "unix" (Linux, *BSD, Solaris, OS X, IRIX), BeOS, OS/2, and Amiga. There are build systems for autotools, MSVC, Watcom C, and Project Builder.
The FLAC project consists of:
the stream format
reference encoders and decoders in library form
flac, a command-line program to encode and decode FLAC files
metaflac, a command-line metadata editor for FLAC files
input plugins for various music players
When we say that FLAC is "Free" it means more than just that it is available at no cost. It means that the specification of the format is fully open to the public to be used for any purpose (the FLAC project reserves the right to set the FLAC specification and certify compliance), and that neither the FLAC format nor any of the implemented encoding/decoding methods are covered by any known patent. It also means that all the source code is available under open-source licenses. It is the first truly open and free lossless audio format.
Main features:
- Lossless: The encoding of audio (PCM) data incurs no loss of information, and the decoded audio is bit-for-bit identical to what went into the encoder. Each frame contains a 16-bit CRC of the frame data for detecting transmission errors. The integrity of the audio data is further insured by storing an MD5 signature of the original unencoded audio data in the file header, which can be compared against later during decoding or testing.
- Fast: FLAC is asymmetric in favor of decode speed. Decoding requires only integer arithmetic, and is much less compute-intensive than for most perceptual codecs. Real-time decode performance is easily achievable on even modest hardware.
- Hardware support: Because of FLACs free reference implementation and low decoding complexity, FLAC is currently the only lossless codec that has any kind of hardware support.
- Streamable: Each FLAC frame contains enough data to decode that frame. FLAC does not even rely on previous or following frames. FLAC uses sync codes and CRCs (similar to MPEG and other formats), which, along with framing, allow decoders to pick up in the middle of a stream with a minimum of delay.
- Seekable: FLAC supports fast sample-accurate seeking. Not only is this useful for playback, it makes FLAC files suitable for use in editing applications.
- Flexible metadata: New metadata blocks can be defined and implemented in future versions of FLAC without breaking older streams or decoders. Currently there are metadata types for tags, cue sheets, and seek tables. Applications can write their own APPLICATION metadata once they register an ID
- Suitable for archiving: FLAC is an open format, and there is no generation loss if you need to convert your data to another format in the future. In addition to the frame CRCs and MD5 signature, flac has a verify option that decodes the encoded stream in parallel with the encoding process and compares the result to the original, aborting with an error if there is a mismatch.
- Convenient CD archiving: FLAC has a "cue sheet" metadata block for storing a CD table of contents and all track and index points. For instance, you can rip a CD to a single file, then import the CDs extracted cue sheet while encoding to yield a single file representation of the entire CD. If your original CD is damaged, the cue sheet can be exported later in order to burn an exact copy.
- Error resistant: Because of FLACs framing, stream errors limit the damage to the frame in which the error occurred, typically a small fraction of a second worth of data. Contrast this with some other lossless codecs, in which a single error destroys the remainder of the stream.
What FLAC is not:
- Lossy. FLAC is intended for lossless compression only, as there are many good lossy formats already, such as Vorbis, MPC, and MP3 (see LAME for an excellent open-source implementation).
- SDMI compliant, et cetera. There is no intention to support any methods of copy protection, which are, for all practical purposes, a complete waste of bits. (Another way to look at it is that since copy protection is futile, it really carries no information, so you might say FLAC already losslessly compresses all possible copy protection information down to zero bits!) Of course, we cant stop what some misguided person does with proprietary metadata blocks, but then again, non-proprietary decoders will skip them anyway.
