HFM is a font manager for Unix systems. With it you can control the avaliability of fonts in all of the supported applications from a central place. Currently included are modules to support:

* X-Window
* Ghostscript
* TeX

A PostScript module handles PS Fonts. Other fonts remain untouched by this program.

HFM is distributed under the GPL (GNU Public License).

Mpserv is an architecture for playing MP3s distributed throughout a LAN or high-speed WAN. The core is the server which houses a database of song titles available through the network. Clients connect to this server and request songs to be played on the stereo connected to the server machine.

The Server
need: mpg123 >=0.59n, perl >=5.002
usage: perl server.pl
desc: Attaches itself to port 2600 using the TCP protocol.

There is a (purposely) rudimentary CLI available. Just telnet into the server and type help for the commandset available. This is truly meant to be used by an external
(probably GUI) client.

The server has a database of all mp3s available as well as a playing queue holding the song currently playing and any waiting to be played.

A basic set of operations are supported, including addition, promotion, demotion and deletion of queue elements.

If the currently playing song is deleted, it will stop playing and the next song in the queue will begin. If it is demoted, it is interrupted and the next song in line is played. The first
song is then requeued to be played next. This is equivalent to promoting the number 2 song in the queue.

The Client
need: perl >=5.002, GTK >= 1.06, Perl/GTK >=0.5000
usage: perl client.pl [host-address]
desc: A GTK client for playing and modifying the server mp3 queue.

Omitting the host-address causes the client to look at the localhost for the mp3 server.

The GUI client should be fairly intuitive. The top frame contains the tree of available songs broken down as Artist => Album => Song. The frame below contains the list of songs that are currently in the servers queue. A bunch of buttons occupies the bottom of GUI, they control the song position in the queue, deletion, queue refreshing and tree refreshing.

The playing queue is automatically updated whenever a change is made by that particular client. Changes made by other clients are not visible until the refresh button is pushed. This includes when songs have finished, as queue traversal is left up to the server.

To fix this a server push mechanism is needed, where each client registers as a listener and is notified through a server of its own when changes have been made. This has yet to be implemented.

Per-Song Volume is a Perl script maintains a per-song volume information.

What it means is that a volume is associated with each song, which is recorded whenever the volume changes, and is restored to its last value when the song is played again.

This is useful if you have several songs which sound louder or softer than the rest.

To run this script you need perl 5 and DBD::SQLite (http://search.cpan.org/dist/DBD-SQLite/).

The file "$HOME/.kde/share/apps/amarok/scripts-data/per-song-volume.default-volume.txt" can optionally hold the default volume for playing the files (an integer from 0 to 100). The default setting for it is 40.

I hope you find this script useful!

amaroK Now-Webing starts a webserver at an configurable port (Standard is 8080) which display the current song and artist.

Works great for parsing and displaying data on a webserver.

Gajim Now Listen changes the status of Gajim (jabber client) when amarok change song. The status remain the same, but the messages change to $artist - $album - $song.

Gajim Now Listen is very alpha, but seems to works.

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.

rphpMMS is a script for xmms that chooses songs at random for xmms for multiple users. rphpMMS uses a highest common rating approach to selecting the songs.
This is great for people who have kids, and dont want certain songs with adult themes/cussing being played when the kids are around, or if you were in a college dorm, the chances of a song everyone likes would greatly increase.
Main features:
- Time based history (strict, or flexable)
- Song history
- Artist history
- ices metadata update
- play only specific genres
- move/rename songs user defined database information
- synchronize id3/ogg tags to database mp3
- mplayer support - beta

Headphone is an amaroK script that offers a Dj-ing feature. You can send one or more songs from the playlist to the xmms - player.

TODO:

Configure the xmms - player to another soundcard or another channel of your soundcard.

Use the "Sent To" "Headphone" button.

That it is. The song will be played with the xmms - player.
