Free perl audio converter software for linux

Audio Format Converter is a an Amarok script that allows you to convert the audio format of the tracks in the playlist. The script takes a snapshot of the current playlist. Once the conversion has started, you can go back to using amaroK normally.

Supported files for both input and output include .flac, .ogg, .mp3, .mpc, .m4a, and .wav. Additionally, .wma, .ra, and are supported for input. (See below for the required packages.)

I dont know how to do anything with metatags from .wma or .ra. All I know is tags will get transferred to the output file if and only if the tags show up in the amaroK playlist. If they arent there, I suggest converting the files, then using a real tag editor like Easy Tag to put them in to the converted files.

This has only been tested on amaroK 1.2.4, but it should work on any amaroK>=1.2

The original files are NOT deleted. If the output file will overwrite an existing file, a dialog will appear to ask you whether to go ahead and overwrite or to skip the track. If you try to convert a file into the format its already in, a dialog will ask you how to handle this situation.

Depending on the number of tracks and the speed of your computer, this can take a long time to run. With each track, a passive popup will let you know what track its processing. At any time, you can stop the script by clicking stop in the amaroK script GUI.

Perl MUD Client project is a text-based MUD client supporting SSL, ANSI, telnet negotations, and MCP.

PMC is a text based mudclient written in Perl 5. It utilizes GNU readline, supports SSL, local editing support through MCP (MudClientProtocol), full telnet negotiation support and of course ANSI support if your terminal supports it.

Unlike other mudclients with input line editors/history, it also supports the telnet character mode, which enables it to use e.g. fullscreen applications within a mud (like the xeditor found on some LP Muds).

PDL::Audio is a Perl module for some PDL functions intended for audio processing.

SYNOPSIS

use PDL;
use PDL::Audio;

Oh well. Not much "introductory documentation" has been written yet.

NOTATION

Brackets around parameters indicate that the respective parameter is optional and will be replaced with some default value when absent (or undef, which might be different in other packages).

The sampling frequency and duration are by default (see individual descriptions) given in cycles/sample (or samples in case of a duration). That means if you want to specify a duration of two seconds, you have to multiply by the sampling frequency in HZ, and if you want to specify a frequency of 440 Hz, you have to divide by the sampling frequency:

# Syntax: gen_oscil duration*, frequency/
$signal = gen_oscil 2*HZ, 440/HZ;
# with a sampling frequency of 44100 Hertz:
$signal = gen_oscil 2*44100, 440/44100;

To help you, the required unit is given as a type suffix in the parameter name. A "/" means that you have to divide by the sampling frequency (to convert from Hertz) and a suffix of "*" indicates that a multiplication is required.
Most parameters named "size", "duration" (or marked with "*") can be replaced by a piddle, which is then used to give length and from (mono/stereo).

HEADER ATTRIBUTES

The following header attributes are stored and evaluated by most functions. PDL::Audio provides mutator methods for all them (e.g.

print "samplerate is ", $pdl->rate;
$pdl->comment("set the comment to this string");
rate

The sampling rate in hz.
filetype

The filetype (wav, au etc..). Must be one of:

path

The filename (or file specification) used to load or save a file.
format

Specifies the type the underlying file format uses. The samples will always be in short or long signed format.

Must be one of

FORMAT_NO_SND FORMAT_16_LINEAR FORMAT_8_MULAW FORMAT_8_LINEAR
FORMAT_32_FLOAT FORMAT_32_LINEAR FORMAT_8_ALAW FORMAT_8_UNSIGNED

PDL::Audio conviniently defines the following aliases for the following constants, that are already correct for the host byteorder:

FORMAT_ULAW_BYTE FORMAT_ALAW_BYTE FORMAT_LINEAR_BYTE
FORMAT_LINEAR_SHORT FORMAT_LINEAR_USHORT FORMAT_LINEAR_LONG
FORMAT_LINEAR_FLOAT FORMAT_LINEAR_DOUBLE

PerlPanel is an attempt to build a useable, lean panel program (like the Gnome Panel or the KDE Kicker) in Perl, using the Gtk2-Perl libraries.

PerlPanel is the ideal accompaniment to a light-weight Window Manager such as OpenBox, or a desktop-drawing program like iDesk. Click here to see all three working together.

Most of PerlPanels features are provided by applets - simple widgets that each do a different job. PerlPanel currently ships with 36 different applets.

Audio Daemon is a perl module to daemonize various players and support a single UDP interace for different players. Currently you can set up a server for MPG123, Xmms and an icecast stream (using libshout).

Audio::Daemon is made of two parts, the client and server.

The Client (Audio::Daemon::Client) remains the same across the board no matter what server you are communicating with, with a few exceptions noted in the pods.

The Server currently can be configured to be MPG123, Xmms or an Icecast (libshout) stream. Neither the Client nor the Servers need to be run as root and I strongly advise against it.

Audio::Daemon::MPG132:
Requires Audio::Play::MPG123 an optionally Audio::Mixer for volume control. It automatically spawns mpg123 in the background so there is no need to prestart it.

Audio::Daemon::Xmms:
Requires the Xmms and MP3::Info perl module and xmms installed. Id suggest getting the latest version of the Xmms perl module. It uses the volume and random feature built into xmms and if it doesnt find an xmms running it will try to spawn its own copy. Bear in mind that
xmms MUST HAVE an X display to export to, and that xmms must be running as the same user Audio::Daemon::Xmms is.

Audio::Daemon::Shout:
This wasnt easy to do. It requires MP3::Info and libshout to be installed (http://developer.icecast.org/libshout/) as well as a functioning icecast server. The timing here is pretty critical so I recomend being careful not to be polling the server too much. Be sure to read the icecast docs as Im still confused on how I got this part to work.
