Free listen to music software for linux

Random Music plays random MP3 tracks from your music collection. It maintains a flat database of tracks, detailed genres, and weights, and generates a weighted random playlist from the user-selected genres.
The ID3 and ID3v2 fields (title/artist/album), detailed genre, and weight (0-9) for the currently-playing track can be edited, and tracks can be removed from the playlist.
For example, a user can select only tracks with a minimum weight of 5 from the subgenres "Pop - 1970s" and "R&B - 1970s", and the playlist will adjust accordingly.
Enhancements:
- This release adds features to the playlist editor.
- Playlist entries now include the album name, and selected tracks can be moved up or down.

Common Music (CM) is an object-oriented music composition environment.

Common Music produces sound by transforming a high-level representation of musical structure into a variety of control protocols for sound synthesis and display.

aeon is a music player that is meant to look nice and have an interface that is as easy to use as possible.

In contrast to BMPx it is entirely library based, which means you cant add individual files to it, but you have rather to add them to the library beforehand.

You can only play files from the library (akin to RhythmBox/iTunes).

The project is a simple program using xine code from mplayer (thanks!) to download BBC Listen Again streams.
Simply open the "Listen with External Real Player" links with this program and you can save the Real audio file. Play it with mplayer, vlc, or even Real Player (their linux player is actually quite good amazingly).
To build it you just need Qt 4. If it doesnt work, you might want to generate mplayers config.h for your system, and then copy it over libreal/config.h
Ive also included a binary that might possible work if you are lucky, but this is linux so it probably wont.
Anyway, enjoy! Also Mark Thomas - legend.
PS: If someone wants to make some packages that automatically do the association thing, that would be great!
PPS: Progress bar is approximate - it will take as long to download as the programme lasts.
To install, do something like:
qmake
make
sudo make install
Then (for KDE):
Go to a BBC listen again stream. Download the .ram file linked to by "Listen in External Real Player".
Right click it->properties->Type: Edit file type->Add Application->/usr/bin/keeplistening
Enhancements:
- Fixed compilation errors (kdevelop assumed absolute paths)
- Close on errors
- Added auto-close checkbox (on by default)
- Ignore lines starting with ## in ram files.

Gnome Simple Stateful Music Player (GSSMP) is a music player designed to work with the GNOME desktop environment. It does not store a database of all your music, but is designed to work with music files organised into directories. It is small, unobtrusive, and tries to do what you would expect, instead of asking you questions.

It remembers which file was playing on exit, and continues that file from the same place when you start again. In the future it is planned to add multiple bookmarks that are automatically created whenever a track stops playing for any reason (e.g. you choose another track, you exit, or you pause.)

GSSMP has been developed on Linux, but should theoretically work with any operating system that supports the standard GNOME environment.

Subsonic is a free, web-based media streamer. Although primarily designed for MP3, it works for any audio or video format that can stream over HTTP (for instance WMA and OGG).
With Subsonic you have access to your entire music collection wherever you are. Use Subsonic application to share your music with friends, or to listen to your own music while at work. You can stream to multiple players simultaneously, for instance to one player in your kitchen and another in your living room.
Subsonic is designed to handle very large music collections (many thousand albums). It uses a combination of directory structure and tag parsing to organize the music.
If you have constrained bandwidth, you may set an upper limit for the bitrate of the music streams. Subsonic will then automatically resample the music to a suitable bitrate. (Supported for MP3 only).
In addition to being a streaming media server, Subsonic works very well as a local jukebox. The intuitive web interface, as well as search and index facilities, are optimized for efficient browsing through large media libraries.
Subsonic is free software distributed under the LGPL open-source licence.
Main features:
- Supports MP3, OGG, AAC, WMA and any other music or video format that can be streamed over HTTP.
- Works with any network-enabled media player, such as Winamp, iTunes, XMMS, MusicMatch and Windows Media Player.
- Displays cover art, dynamically scaling it to fit nicely on the screen.
- Finds cover art and album info using Amazon Web Services.
- On-the-fly resampling to lower bitrates using the high-quality LAME encoder (MP3 only).
- Common playlist features (add, remove, rearrange, repeat, shuffle, undo).
- Playlists can be saved and restored. Both M3U and PLS formats are supported.
- Configurable index.
- Google-like search functionality.
- Automatic update of search index at specified intervals.
- Supports multiple simultaneous players. The playlist for any player can be managed from any location.
- Secure. Users must log in using a username and password.
- Lean web interface optimized for constrained bandwidth environments and efficient browsing through large music collections.
- WAP interface allows you to control Subsonic from any mobile phone or PDA.
- In addition to streaming, single files or entire directories may be downloaded from Subsonic.
- Files can be uploaded to Subsonic. Zip-files can be automatically unpacked.
- Implements the SHOUTcast protocol. Players which support this (including Winamp, iTunes and XMMS) will display the current artist and song name.
- Provides links to album reviews and more at allmusic.com.
- Supports internationalization. Currently, English and Norwegian translations are provided.
Enhancements:
- New: Optimized scanning of music folders. Dramatic improvement for network disks.
- Bugfix: Fixed minor concurrency bug in search index creation.
- Bugfix: Make cache work if clocks on remote disks are out of sync.
- Bugfix: Ensure that cover art images are ordered alphabetically.
- Bugfix: Remove nag message for licensed users.

Main features:
- hard disk recorder
- midi composition tools
- drum loop programs
- vocoder
- other real time effect processing tools
It can boot and run directly from CD-ROM or be installed to hard disk with morphixinstaller. This means that the Linux audio architecture such as jack and alsa is pre-configured and easy to install.
Root privileges
There is no default root password set on the CD therefore is sudo used for super user privileges. Execute these commands in a terminal:
sudo sh

exit
su
HDD-Install
Start a terminal and get root privileges, as described above. Execute the command for starting the installer:
morphixinstaller
Keyboard configuration in X
If you want to set your x-windows-system to use another keyboard layout execute "setxkbmap < Keyboad language abrevation >". To set X to use swedish keyboard execute:
setxkbmap se
Jack
Some audio applications does not communicate directly with the soundcard. In that case is most commonly Jack is used as an interface witch enables multiply applications to output sound simultaneously. You need to manually start jack before starting applications such as ardour and jack-rack. Start jack grapical control:
qjackctl
Start jack in a terminal:
jackd -d alsa
There is an shortcut in the menu named "Jack Control", this is a graphical interface for the jack server. You might need to configure jack from this program in order to make it run well on your system.
NVIDIA video card
If you have NVIDA card boot Sork with the boot option xmodule set to nvidia. From the grub boot menu select More Boot Options->NV driver.
VESA cards is handled in the same way; select More Boot Options->VESA driver in the grub boot loader.
