Free mp3 collections software for linux

Audio collection script is a script which can help you manage collections of audio files. For example, I have a directory with all my audio files in it, sorted by band/album. I also have an audio collections directory. Within that directory I have a few list files which contain patterns for songs that should be part of that collection. The script generates or updates a subdirectory for each list file present and creates links within those directories to all music files from my main audio directory that match the patterns in the list file.

An example:

Your music files are in /audio
Your collections are in /audio-collections
The file /audio-collections/funny.list has the following lines:

/audio-collections/funny/
#the next line matches all songs within a tripod directory
tripod/
monty*python
kevin*bloody*wilson
bill*clinton*miss*lewinsky*and*i

When run, it will process each .list file in the current directory. So for this example, when run from /audio-collections, it will create or clean out the directory /audio-collections/funny and create links inside it for any files found within /audio which match the specified patterns.

The first line in each list file specifies the directory to create and use for the links. The patterns in the file will match on the full path of a song.

Note: I am pretty sure it would not be a good path to put your collections inside your main audio directory.

MaCollec is a Web-based Collections Manager written in PHP/Javascript. MaCollec Collections Manager is based on the AJAX technology to produce a nice-looking and pleasant interface. It doesnt require a database.
Items informations (including covers pictures) are retrieved from online libraries.
MaCollec works correctly only with a modern browser (like Mozilla Firefox, Opera, ...) which supports all major Web standards currently in use, including CSS 2.1, HTML 4.01, ECMAScript, DOM 2 ...
Main features:

MP3::Icecast is a Perl module to generate Icecast streams, as well as M3U and PLSv2 playlists.

SYNOPSIS

use MP3::Icecast;
use MP3::Info;
use IO::Socket;


my $listen_socket = IO::Socket::INET->new(
LocalPort => 8000, #standard Icecast port
Listen => 20,
Proto => tcp,
Reuse => 1,
Timeout => 3600);

#create an instance to find all files below /usr/local/mp3
my $finder = MP3::Icecast->new();
$finder->recursive(1);
$finder->add_directory(/usr/local/mp3);
my @files = $finder->files;

#accept TCP 8000 connections
while(1){
next unless my $connection = $listen_socket->accept;

defined(my $child = fork()) or die "Cant fork: $!";
if($child == 0){
$listen_socket->close;

my $icy = MP3::Icecast->new;

#stream files that have an ID3 genre tag of "jazz"
while(@files){
my $file = shift @files;
my $info = new MP3::Info $file;
next unless $info;
next unless $info->genre =~ /jazz/i;
$icy->stream($file,0,$connection);
}
exit 0;
}

#a contrived example to demonstrate that MP3::Icecast
#can generate M3U and PLSv2 media playlists.
print STDERR $icy->m3u, "n";
print STDERR $icy->pls, "n";

$connection->close;
}

ABSTRACT

MP3::Icecast supports streaming Icecast protocol over socket or other filehandle (including STDIN). This is useful for writing a streaming media server.
MP3::Icecast also includes support for generating M3U and PLSv2 playlist files. These are common formats supported by most modern media players, including XMMS, Windows Media Player 9, and Winamp.

Dynamic MP3 Lister was a project I started a long time ago to create dynamic lists of MP3s quickly and easily.

Features MP3 Information extraction for things like bitrate, channels, playtime and more.

Please note that this script is discontinued, and is only shown here now as an example of my work.

Mp3Kult project organizes your collection of MP3s. Mp3Kult is an application for KDE 3. It organizes your MP3/Ogg collection in a MySQL database.

It can read MP3/Ogg tags and song information (length, bit rate, sample rate, etc.), make playlists, play songs with an external player (xmms, gqmpeg), find a song in database (base and advanced search), and make a copy of a playlist on your hard disk (to play the playlist without inserting CDROMs).

Mp3Kult can recursivly scan directories to find MP3/Ogg files, and it can automatically mount, umount, and eject a CDROM before/after a job.

Mp3Cdbrowser is a tool to organize large collections of music (MP3, Ogg/Vorbis) on a CD or hard disk. It stores info about the tracks name, album, length,... into a database (build-in or MySQL). You can later browse the songs or search for them.
Enhancements:
- Performance with the hsqldb backend was improved (still is to slow in some cases :-(
- Splitpane divider between tree view and info panel
- Display confirm dialog if you have uncommited changes when switching to a different track

MP3::Daemon::Simple is a daemon for the mp3(1p) client.

SYNOPSIS

Fork a daemon

MP3::Daemon::Simple->spawn($socket_path);

Start a server, but dont fork into background

my $mp3d = MP3::Daemon::Simple->new($socket_path);
$mp3d->main;

Youre a client wanting a socket to talk to the daemon
my $client = MP3::Daemon::Simple->client($socket_path);
print $client @command;

REQUIRES ^

File::Basename

This is used to give titles to songs when the mp3 leaves the title undefined.

Getopt::Std

Some methods need to pretend theyre command line utilities.

MP3::Daemon

This is the base class. It provides the daemonization and event loop.

MP3::Info

This is for getting information out of mp3s.

MP3::Icecast::Simple is a simple MP3::Icecast wrapper.

SYNOPSIS

use MP3::Icecast::Simple;

$icy = MP3::Icecast::Simple->new(
description => "Station",
server => 127.0.0.1:8000,
password => password,
local_port => 1234,
bitrate => 96
);
$icy->play("/path/to/files");

ABSTRACT

MP3::Icecast::Simple is a simple MP3::Icecast wrapper, that can be used to create a SHOUTcast/Icecast broadcast source easy.
