Free mp3 ogg software for linux

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.

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.

mod_mp3 turns the Apache Web server into an MP3 or Ogg streaming server. It can play from a list of files, either in order or randomly.
It can also be used to cache MP3s into memory and have the server operate entirely from memory. It has an XML-RPC interface for you to write interfaces around and supports retrieving information via XML/RSS.
Enhancements:
- Fixes for installer issues for debian.
- More MySQL fixes/refactored code.
- Refactored postgres code.

Gamp is a simple to use audio player.

Gamp is a clean/simple audio player for Gnome. It is written in C and uses the Gstreamer framework for audio playback.

It supports MP3, Ogg Vorbis, and Flac. Its interface is similar to that of Winamp, Freeamp, or XMMS.

Boss Ogg is a server based music (ogg/mp3/flac) player. Written in Python/C, uses sqlite for a database backend, and xml-rpc for client/server communication. Clients are released for php, sdl and curses(geezer).
Compilation and installion are very typical for unix applications. ./configure to configure the program to your system (./configure --help will show you some flags). make will build the python modules. make install will install the program.
Enhancements:
- gcc/g++ 3.0 or greater
- Python 2.2 (http://python.org)
- Sqlite 2.8.3 (http://www.hwaci.com/sw/sqlite)
- Pysqlite 0.4.3 (http://pysqlite.sourceforge.net)
- libao 0.8.3 (http://www.xiph.org)
- libvorbis/libvorbisfile 1.0 (for Ogg Vorbis support) (http://www.vorbis.com)
- libflac 1.1.0 (for Flac support) (http://flac.sourceforge.net)
- libmad 0.15 (for MP3 support) (http://www.underbit.com/products/mad)
- libid3 3.8.3 (for id3/mp3 metadata support) (http://id3lib.sourceforge.net)
Enhancements:
- Added the port command line switch
- Fixed a bug in ConfigFile that would not reload config files properly
- Fixed the -H switch in bosync

Dirogg is a simple script for migrating your entire music collection from mp3 to Ogg Vorbis (ogg).
dirogg is a recursing script, which means you run it at the top directory of your music collection, and it will take care of the rest. Enjoy!
Installation:
Just copy the "dirogg" script to a directory in your path, like /usr/local/bin.
To use, enter a directory in which you want to convert all mp3 files to ogg. It will then recurse into subdirectories and convert these files to ogg as well. Note that your mp3 files will not be removed unless you set so in.
Enhancements:
- Parallelizing support was added to process multiple files simultaneously.

Mp3Splt is a command line utility to split mp3 and ogg files selecting a begin and an end time position, without decoding. Mp3splt project is very useful to split large mp3/ogg to make smaller files or to split entire albums to obtain original tracks.
If you want to split an album, you can select split points and filenames manually or you can get them automatically from CDDB (internet or a local file) or from .cue files.
Supports also automatic silence split, that can be used also to adjust cddb/cue splitpoints. You can extract tracks from Mp3Wrap or AlbumWrap files in few seconds.
Libmp3splt is an attempt to create a library from mp3splt.
Mp3splt-gtk is a GTK2 gui that uses libmp3splt.
Enhancements:
- code completely reviewed and reorganised
- fixed bugs with the tags
- fixed some other bugs
