Free car stereo software for linux

Do you have many MP3 files? Do you spend more time organizing them then listening to them? Do you store them on CDs? Do you have a car stereo MP3 player?
If so, MusicMan will help you organize your MP3, Ogg, from the most obvious place: Konqueror file manager.
Main features:
- Standarize the filenames of your music files.
- Guess info and set ID3 tags from the files name. Can be done to several files in one shot.
- Rename many selected files based on their ID3 tags.
- Set ID3 tags in mass for the selected files, with options from copying ID3s from other files, and leaving some ID3 fields untouched.
- Rename _ to space and vice-versa.
- Create HTML and Text indexes of your collections, including total playing time etc. 100% cofigurable thru templates.
- Create nice CD cover with nice full listing of your music files. 100% configurable thru templates.
- Organize your music collection to create a CD.
- See the change log for details.

Racer is a free car simulation project, using real car physics to get a realistic feeling. Cars, tracks, scenes and such can be created with relative simplicity in mind (compared to other driving simulations).
The 3D and other file formats are, or should be, documented. Editors and support programs are also available to get a very flexible and expandable simulator. It uses OpenGL for rendering.
It attempts to do well at the physics section, trying to create life-like cars to emphasize car control and doesnt cut back on realism in the interest of fun. If youve played Grand Prix Legends from Papyrus, youll know what Im talking about.
Racer major features:
- Its totally free! (for non-commercial use)
- Available for multiple platforms; Windows 2000/XP (95/98/ME may work but have some trouble with fonts), Linux and Mac OS X.
- 6 DOF models used (the car can move around freely)
- Uses motion formulae from actual engineering documents from SAE for example.
- Total flexibility; almost everything is customizable through ASCII files.
- Commercial-quality rendering engine (with smoke, skidmarks, sparks, sun, flares, vertex-color lit tracks).
- Support for Matrox Surround Gaming. See the corresponding page on Matrox site.
- Lots of addon cars and tracks available on the web.
- Easy integration of your own cars and tracks that you create in ZModeler, 3D Studio Max(tm), Maya etc.
- At least 15 degrees of freedom for a regular car (6 DOF for the car body, 1 for each wheels vertical motion and 1 for each wheel spinning, and 1 for the engine, several more for the driveline). Depending actually on how many wheels you put on the car.
- Real-time internal clock; no physical dependency on framerate. Controller updates are also done independently of the framerate.
- Not limited to 4 wheels; anything from 2 to 8 wheel vehicles are currently supported (but mostly untested, and some problems with hardcoded differentials for example may exist (v0.5.0)).
- Not much constraints on the track data; surface info is taken from polygon data (VRML tracks), and splines are used to smooth out the track surface (polygons are too harsh for driving on just like that).
- Tools to modify the cars & tracks are freely available on this site (though external utilities are recommended for best results).
- Some used algorithms are explained on this site. Also, references are available. If you are programming a carsim, you might find something useful here.
- Save game present!
Main features:
PHYSICS FEATURES
- Full 6 degree of freedom motion of the car chassis.
- Independent suspension for all wheels.
- Suspension features: springs, dampers, anti-rollbar, rollcenter, anti-pitch.
- Wheel features: camber, wheel hop (the wheels have mass), toe.
- Tires: Pacejka tire model, relaxation length.
GRAPHICS FEATURES
- View frustum culling for increased framerate.
- Shader system for Quake-style rendering.
- Fog definable per track.
- Environment mapping for shiny materials.
- Live track environment mapping.

oss2jack creates an OSS device which redirects its input and output to the Jack Audio Connection Kit. oss2jack supports a large subset of the OSS specification, including full duplex I/O and mmap.
oss2jack uses Jeremy Elsons useful fusd library to create a userspace character device, which is also a jackd client.
It supports mono and stereo streams, with virtually any sample rate thanks to libsamplerate. Only the commonly-used OSS ioctls are currently supported.
Enhancements:
- A few minor bugs that prevented smooth operation with Asterisk were fixed.
- In addition, oss2jack can now host jackd, allowing the user to run a long chain of processes with oss2jack and jackd.

Linux distribution race is a cool car race for 4 players, cars are named by Linux distributions (Mandrake, SUSE, RedHat, Debian).

You can create maps in GIMP. Controls: WSAD, TGFH, IKJL, arrows.

tooLAME is an optimized Mpeg Audio 1/2 Layer 2 encoder.

It is based heavily on:

- the ISO dist10 code
- improvement to algorithms as part of the LAME project

Installation:

1. edit Makefile
at least change the architecture type (ARCH) to suit your machine.
2. make

Usage:

./toolame [options] < input > < output >

Input File
tooLAME parses AIFF and WAV files for file info
raw PCM is assumed if no header is found
for stdin use a -

Output File
file is automatically renamed from *.* to *.mp2
for stdout use a -

Input Options
-s [int]
if inputting raw PCM sound, you must specify the sample rate
default sample rate is 44.1khz.

-a
downmix from stereo to mono
if the incoming file is stereo, combine the audio into
a single channel

-x
force byte-swapping of the input. (current endian detection is dodgy,
so if toolame produces only noise, use -x )

-g
swap the LR channels of a stereo file

Output Options
-m [char]
the encoding mode (default j)
s stereo
d dual channel
j joint stereo
m mono

-p [int]
which psy model to use (default 1)
Different models for the psychoacoustics
Models: -1 to 4

-b [int]
the total bitrate
For 48/44.1/32kHz default = 192
For 24/22.05/16kHz default = 96

-v [int]
Switch on VBR mode.
The higher the number the better the quality.
Useful range -10 to 10.
See README.VBR for details.

Operation
-f
fast mode turns off calculation of the psychoacoustic model.
Instead a set of default values are assumed

-q [int]
quick mode calculates the psy model every num frames.

Misc
-d emp
de-emphasis (default n)
-c
mark as copyright
-o
mark as original
-e
add error protection
-r
force padding bits off
-D
add DAB extensions
-t [int]
talkativity setting. 0 = no message. 3 = too much information

Lars project can help you mass-produce audio CDs from MP3s.
Tell Lars which mp3s you want and Lars will turn your mp3s into wavs and burn them onto audio CDs only stopping when the CD is full. As soon as you put another valid blank CD in the drive and click the continue button, and Lars will start writing again.
Lars will also do volume normalization which can help make the volume on all the songs on the CD sound consistant.
Enhancements:
- This release fixes a problem with ID3 tags crashing Lars and MP3s with non-English filenames.
- It also helps fix compatibility problems with Linux 2.6.x, and fixes the normalize function to work with stereo samples.
