Free mp3 streamer software for linux

MuSE is a user-friendly tool for network audio streaming.
MuSE provides the free software community with a user friendly but powerful tool for network audio streaming, making life easier for indypendent free speech online radios.
MuSE is an application for the mixing, encoding, and network streaming of sound: it can mix up to 6 encoded audio bitstreams (from files or network, mp3 or ogg) plus a souncard input signal, the resulting stream can be played locally on the sound card and/or encoded at different bitrates, recorded to harddisk and/or streamed to the net.
When sent to a server, the resulting audio can be listened thru the net by a vast number of players available on different operating systems.
To be operated MuSE offers graphical interfaces and a documented commandline interface in the good old unix style.
Main features:
- Mixes up to 6 channels + 1 soundcard input channel simultaniously
- decodes and mixes both ogg and mp3, from files or network streams
- encodes at different bitrates and sends multiple mp3 or ogg streams to icecast, shoutcast and darwin servers.
- offers two different intuitive user interfaces and a documented command line interface
- play, stop, pause/resume, position and volume for each channel, looping thru playlists and reconnecting automatically to lost server connections
- efficient multithreaded architecture with emphasys on performance to support older CPUs
- reusable API interface to the core mixing engine permits to adapt new interfaces

Mp3 renamer 2006 by MiKe is a shell script for Linux. MP3 renamer goes by the Unix name of rename-mp3. It looks at MP3 files in a Directory and, using id3v2, will rename all the mp3 files in a nice format according to the id3 tags rename-mp3 will look at both v1 and v2 id3 tags, and will make the output file in a Title-Album-Artist.mp3 format.
It saves time, and not only will it read the id3 tags, but in the event that the MP3 file has no id3 tags, you will be given 4 options
1)abort 2)skip 3)rename 4)write id3 tags, and you are asked what you would like the id3 tag artist, track name and album to be.
This is great if you want the track to be easy to view and yet you still like having a library of music that is all tagged nicely!
Enhancements:
- New stuff: The INSTALLER now works, whereas before it wouldnt copy...

MP3 Streaming DownSampler for PHP is written with cable modem/DSL users with low upstream caps in mind. Using LAME, it dynamically downsamples a requested MP3 to a bitrate which can be streamed.

It doesnt use temporary files, so you dont have to take the time to do any batching, and you just give it a directory with symlinks to your music in a place the Web server can reach. The interface is simplistic and fast, meant for immediate plug and play access.

Want to watch Youtube video, but you dont have Flash plugin? (ex: gnu/linux ppc os), so try this great script to watch STREAMING VIDEOS from Youtube! You dont need to download video on your disk, you can stream directly the FLV videos from Youtube!

MPlayer Youtube Video Streamer lets you watch YouTube videos even if you dont have the flash plugin.

Usage: myvs [options] video_url

Options:

-h, --help print this help text and exit
-v, --version print program version and exit
-u USERNAME, --username=USERNAME account username
-p PASSWORD, --password=PASSWORD account password
-o FILE, --output=FILE output video file name
-q, --quiet activates quiet mode
-s, --stream do not download video, but stream directly by mplayer
-C, --cache set a cache of 300k, for slow connection
-c, --cycle cycle 20 times while youtube redirect to vo.llnwd.net (that streams .flv)
-t, --title use title in file name
-n, --netrc use .netrc authentication data
-O, --streamonly Force the script to stream only, if it doesnt find a valid stream server simply quit

Who to use it with Firefox:

Now I will explain you how to get it working with Firefox,

First we need a Firefox extension called: Lanchy,
this extension give us the ability to open directly from Firefox Youtube video on youtube webpage (not on all webpages that have a youtube video!

You ALWAYS need the youtube videos webpage! After you have installed Launchy (from firefoxs addon site), restart Firefox, now it will ask you to insert a Launchys button on your toolbar (DO IT! so open Youtube videos will be very simply), after that go on the preferences/option of this extension and uncheck the option: "search automatically programs".

Now copy the "launchy.xml" file that you found on the package and copy it on your directory:
".mozilla/firefox/YOUR_ID.default/chrome/" , after copied it, please dont forget to edit it with your myvs.py COMPLETE PATH, and add or delete oppurtune option to pass to the script.

Now restart again firefox an watch if it recognise the command (by pressing the G).

Go on youtube.com, open a video webpage, click on the G button-> Open in Mplayer Youtube Video Streamer.

Apache::MP3::Resample can downsample MP3/FLAC/Shorten files during streaming.

Apache::MP3::Resample subclasses Apache::MP3::Playlist to allow the user to downsample audio files before streaming them. This allows users on slower connections to stream songs. When this module is installed, a menu of bitrates is presented in the upper right-hand corner of the screen. The user can choose from one of the bitrates, or select a mode that performs no resampling. The selected bitrate is maintained in a persistent cookie so that resampling is performed whenever the user returns to the site.

This module requires a command-line MP3 encoder to resample and reencode the audio data. If not otherwise specified, Apache::MP3::Resample will try to use the Open Source Lame MP3 encoder. This utility is available at http://www.sulaco.org/mp3. Version 3.90 was used during the development of this module. Your results with other versions may vary.

When you install Lame (or the encoder of your choice), be sure to place it in a directory located in Apaches PATH so that the module can find them at run time. You may need to set the PATH environment variable during Apaches launch, or by explicitly adding a SetEnv directive to the Apache configuration file.

You should be aware that the decoding/reencoding process is CPU-intensive, and server performance may degrade as the number of simultaneous users increases.

MP3::Tag::LastResort is a Perl module for using other fields to fill autoinfo fields.

SYNOPSIS

my $mp3extra = MP3::Tag::LastResort::new_with_parent($filename, $parent);
$comment = $mp3inf->comment();

see MP3::Tag

MP3::Tag::LastResort is designed to be called from the MP3::Tag module.
It uses the artist_collection() as comment() if comment() is not otherwise defined.

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