Free music portal software for linux

Apache Portals is a collaborative software development project dedicated to providing robust, full-featured, commercial-quality, and freely available Portal related software on a wide variety of platforms and programming languages.

This project is managed in cooperation with various individuals worldwide (both independent and company-affiliated experts), who use the Internet to communicate, plan, and develop Portal software and related documentation.

Modern software is complex and expensive, which has motivated many companies to invest in enterprise portals as a mechanism by which they can manage information in a cohesive and structured fashion.

Portals offer many advantages over other software applications. First, they provide a single point of entry for employees, partners, and customers. Second, portals can access Web services transparently from any device in virtually any location. Third, portals are highly flexible; they can exist in the form of B2E intra-nets, B2B extra-nets, or B2C inter-nets. Fourth, portals can be combined to form a portal network that can span a companys entire enterprise system, allowing for access both inside and outside the firewall.

Portals have many advantages, which is why they have become the de facto standard for Web application delivery. In fact, analysts have predicted that portals will become the next generation for the desktop environment.

Portals distinguish themselves from other software systems because they provide the ability to integrate disparate systems and leverage the functionality provided by those systems. As such, they are not mutually exclusive, and do not force you into an either-or decision vis-a-vis existing software systems. This point is of paramount importance, particularly when you consider the fact that Web services are destined to fuel the explosion of Web applications. Since portals can access any Web services, the conclusion is inescapable: portals provide a unique opportunity to leverage the functionality of nascent technologies as well as mature, well-established software systems.

Top Music allows you to publish music (albums, songs, sound tracks, rankings, artists, etc.) to create an online music portal.

It features: A-Z list of bands; band information (name, photo, genre, biography, etc.); discography; album information (title, year, covers, band, etc.); albums songs lists; song information (title, album, number, lyrics, etc.); the ability to listen to tracks; searching; ranking lists (most visited, most voted, etc.); a voting system; an uploads system; themes; an easy configuration screen; many blocks; multi-language support; easy installation; and a support forum, mailing lists, and Sourceforge.net support (CVS, files, etc.)

uPortal is a free, sharable portal under development by institutions of higher-education. This group sees an institutional portal as an abridged and customized version of the institutional Web presence... a "pocket-sized" version of the campus Web.
Portal technology adds "customization" and "community" to the campus Web presence. Customization allows each user to define a unique and personal view of the campus Web. Community tools, such as chat, forums, survey, and so on, build relationships among campus constituencies.
uPortal is an open-standard effort using Java, XML, JSP and J2EE. JA-SIG uPortal is a collaborative development project with the effort shared among several of the JA-SIG member institutions. You may download uPortal and use it on your site at no cost.
Enhancements:
- Various bugs were fixed.
- "Custom" is now displayed as a channel type in the Channel Manager.
- Version.java was modified to support security releases.
- The CAS uPortal security provider was moved into the source tree.

Music Applet is a small, simple GNOME panel applet that lets you control Rhythmboxs playback from a panel.
Advantages that this applet has over using the icon Rhythmbox puts in the notification area include:
- One-click access to the main operations needed during playback, without needing to use a context menu.
- Display of the current playing time without requiring a mouse-over.
- Display of the current songs album in the song information.
Music Applet currently supports the following music players:
- Banshee
- Rhythmbox
Music Applet is the successor to Rhythmbox Applet.

Music::Scales can supply necessary notes / offsets for musical scales.

SYNOPSIS

use Music::Scales;

my @maj = get_scale_notes(Eb); # defaults to major
print join(" ",@maj); # "Eb F G Ab Bb C D"
my @blues = get_scale_nums(bl); # bl,blu,blue,blues
print join(" ",@blues); # "0 3 5 6 7 10"
my %min = get_scale_offsets (G,mm,1); # descending melodic minor
print map {"$_=$min{$_} "} sort keys %min; # "A=0 B=-1 C=0 D=0 E=-1 F=0 G=0"

Given a keynote A-G(#/b) and a scale-name, will return the scale, either as an array of notenames or as a hash of semitone-offsets for each note.

METHODS

get_scale_nums($scale[,$descending])

returns an array of semitone offsets for the requested scale, ascending/descending the given scale for one octave. The descending flag determines the direction of the scale, and also affects those scales (such as melodic minor) where the notes vary depending upon the direction. Scaletypes and valid values for $scale are listed below.

get_scale_notes($notename[,$scale,$descending,$keypref])

returns an array of notenames, starting from the given keynote. Enharmonic equivalencies (whether to use F# or Gb, for instance) are calculated based on the keynote and the scale. Basically, it attempts to do the Right Thing if the scale is an 8-note one, (the 7th in G harmonic minor being F# rather than Gb, although G minor is a flat key), but for any other scales, (Chromatic, blues etc.) it picks equivalencies based upon the keynote. This can be overidden with $keypref, setting to be either # or b for sharps and flats respectively. Cruftiness abounds here.

get_scale_offsets($notename[,$scale,$descending,$keypref])

as get_scale_notes(), except it returns a hash of notenames with the values being a semitone offset (-1, 0 or 1) as shown in the synopsis.

get_scale_MIDI($notename,$octave[,$scale,$descending])

as get_scale_notes(), but returns an array of MIDI note-numbers, given an octave number (-1..9).

get_scale_PDL($notename,$octave[,$scale,$descending])

as get_scale_MIDI(), but returns an array of PDL-format notes.

is_scale($scalename)

returns true if $scalename is a valid scale name used in this module.

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).
