Free mp3 cd extractor software for linux

IOSN Live CD is an bootable CD that boots into a usable and fully featured Linux Desktop. In addition to standard FOSS productivity and multimedia applications, it is bundled with a User Guide to Using the Linux Desktop in print and multimedia formats as well as several IOSN Free/Open Source Software Primers.

Note: This is a beta release.

MP3c is a special program for converting audio-cds to ogg/mp3-format. It is a frontend for every grab-program and mp3-encoder. Nearly every program should be supported. MP3c has two different run-modes: An interactive mode with a menu-enviroment (based on curses-lib), which can used on textconsoles as well under X11, and a batchmode, which allows automatic encoding of cds inside shellscripts (eg at night within cronjobs).
There are two different possibilities for encoding (depends on your ripper and encoder): Non-Fly encoding, where an audio-track is first grabbed from cds and then encoded, and On-Fly encoding, where grabbing and encoding is one step. Normally you should refer to Non-Fly encoding, since your cdrom-drive hasnt to work all the time, and some encoder produces a "click" at the beginning of mp3/ogg-files if On-Fly encoding is used. The only disadvantage of Non-Fly encoding is, that there is a temp-file, which can grow up to 50-100 MB sometimes.
Information about songtitle on your cds are received with help of CDDB database. In contrast to other programs, an CDDB-entry is detailed analyzed to find every information even for sampler-cds.
Creation of filenames is userdefined. You can use pattern to constitute the appearance of your mp3-files individually. Furthermore you can decide how spaces within filenames should be handled (you can allow them, convert them to underscores "_" or just kill them).
Interessting is the possibility of shellscript creation, which contains all functionality for encoding your cds. You can start these scripts as daemon-processes or run them at night inside a cronjob.
Recommended programs for the use of MP3c are: CDparanoia as audio-cd grabber, Encoder as MP3-encoder and MP3info for creating MP3-ID-tags. For OGG use oggenc. If you need, you can download these programs here, or a complete package with these programs inside. Furthermore you can download runable binaries, but only for glibc 2.1 (linux i386) at the moment. If you like to create RPMs and/or binaries for other systems and libraries, please send these to me, so that I can put it on my page.
Enhancements:
- Switched to CDDB protocol level 5 to support detection and saving of year and genre information.

MP3-Database project is a tool to organize your MP3 collection. If you insert a CD with MP3 files in your CDROM drive, MP3DB can read all ID3 tags of the MP3 files.
With this information MP3DB creates a database which can be searched for a specific song, artist, or CD.
A GUI makes it easy to use the program. Any title found in the database can easily be added to a playlist or can instantly be played by XMMS.
Main features:
- MySQL (Is needed as database backend)
- Perl5
- Perl Modules:
- Tk
- Tk-MesgBox
- Tk-LabFrame
- Tk-Pane
- DBI
- MP3-Info
- Msql-Mysql-modules
- To play MP3 files the MP3 player XMMS should be installed on your system. MP3-Database can easily be adapted to other MP3 players
Enhancements:
- NEW Data Structure: The MySQL database is much more complex than before. I used 3 Tables for Artists, Albums and Titles to store the data. This ensures that I have no redundancies in the tables. This has also enabled me to store additional fields in the database (for example the date of birth of an artist, or the release year of an album).
- NEW Temporary Database: I added some tables to store all new artists, albums and titles in a temporary database. This enables the user to check the new entries before adding them to the permanent database.
- NEW FEATURES: Additional Artist and Album information can be stored in the database, MP3DB can now create a random playlist and a playlist with the top 20 MP3 titles, MP3DB can show you a statistic how many artists, albums and titles are stored in the database.

MP3::Daemon is a daemon that possesses mpg123.

SYNOPSIS

MP3::Daemon is meant to be subclassed -- not used directly.
package MP3::Daemon::Simple;

use strict;
use vars qw(@ISA);
use MP3::Daemon;

@ISA = qw(MP3::Daemon);
Other perl scripts would use MP3::Daemon::Simple like this:
my $socket_path = "/tmp/mp3d_socket";

# start up a daemon
MP3::Daemon::Simple->spawn($socket_path);

# get a socket thats good for one request to the daemon
my $client = MP3::Daemon::Simple->client($socket_path);

print $client @command;
