File::Format::RIFF is a Perl module to Resource Interchange File Format/RIFF files.

SYNOPSIS

use File::Format::RIFF;

open( IN, file ) or die "Could not open file: $!";
my ( $riff1 ) = File::Format::RIFF->read( *IN );
close( IN );
$riff1->dump;

my ( $riff2 ) = new File::Format::RIFF( TYPE );
foreach my $chunk ( $riff1->data )
{
next if ( $chunk->id eq LIST );
$riff2->addChunk( $chunk->id, $chunk->data );
}
open( OUT, ">otherfile" ) or die "Could not open file: $!";
$riff2->write( *OUT );
close( OUT );

File::Format::RIFF provides an implementation of the Resource Interchange File Format. You can read, manipulate, and write RIFF files.

CONSTRUCTORS

$riff = new File::Format::RIFF( $type, $data );

Creates a new File::Format::RIFF object. $type is a four character code that identifies the type of this particular RIFF file. Certain types are defined to have a format, specifying which chunks must appear (e.g., WAVE files). If $type is not specified, it defaults to (four spaces). $data must be an array reference containing some number of RIFF lists and/or RIFF chunks. If $data is undef or not specified, then the new RIFF object is initialized empty.

$riff = File::Format::RIFF->read( $fh, $filesize );

Reads and parses an existing RIFF file from the given filehandle $fh. An exception will be thrown if the file is not a valid RIFF file. $filesize controls one aspect of the file format checking -- if $filesize is not specified, then stat will be called on $fh to determine how much data to expect. You may explicitly specify how much data to expect by passing in that value as $filesize. In either case, the amount of data read will be checked to make sure it matches the amount expected. Otherwise, it will throw an exception. If you do not wish it to make this check, pass in undef for $filesize.

Please note, if you wish to read an "in memory" filehandle, such as by doing this: open( $fh, read( $fh, $filesize );

The read constructor may also be used as a method. If used in this manner, then all existing data contained in $riff will be discarded, and replaced by the contents read from $fh.

$riff->write( $fh );

Outputs a properly-formatted RIFF file to the given filehandle $fh.

Duplicate Music Matcher is a script to quickly find duplicate MP3 files based on letter matching.
Duplicate Music Matcher is helpful for weeding out duplicates that may not be of the same encoding, format, or even the same filename.
Enhancements:
- pymad pyvorbis python-flac deps were all removed in favor of mutagen
- GUI code was updated (no more SimpleGladeApp)
- Delete key have been bound in the GUI
- More accurate matching for ogg and flac files
- The filename column is now resizable
- The GUI play and stop buttons now use audacious.FLAC should now also give a length value
- Some oggs might have a huge bitrate value due to a bug in mutagen.

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).

This is the exact equivalent as doing Ctrl-Shift-O, Ctrl-Shift-F before saving. New features: - Sort Members and Correct Indentation - preference page to configure defaults

PHP music player controller (PMPC) is a script that allows navigation through your music directory, and the adding of albums or single songs into a playlist. The project also allows you to play, stop, pause, and go back and forth through the playlist.
Apache needs to run as the same user that is running the music players. In other words, it probably needs to run as whatever your username is. This is a setting in /etc/httpd.conf . So, dont run this on a machine thats visible to the web, or make a user with really strict rules applying to them - so they cant run anything but an x session, desktop environment, and the music player, and cant touch much of anything but their home files.
I guess Id serve the pages out of the users home directory if I was doing that.
If you know a better way to get this to work, please let me know. I dont profess to be an apache-configuration guru, and for all I know this method is really just dumb.
If youre running apache as yourself, youll need to change the session.save_path variable in your php.ini to something that you have write access to, or chmod the directory its currently using.
PS: If amarok or xmms was working fine for you before, let me know. Ill have a chance to test them, and code the support for them here in the next couple of days.
Enhancements:
- Huge improvements were made.
- The appearance of the player interface was improved.
- Amarok is now supported.
- Directories with hyphens in their names should play correctly now.
