grammydotru123 eases interaction with the MP3 portal grammy.ru.
It works in this way: you seek up the url of an artist or an album at grammy.ru, and then just invoke
grammydotru123
or
python grammydotru123
and it fetches all songs belonging to the artist/album (a song of an album of an artist is considered to belong to the artist, of course).
Life is not always that easy, though. It might happen that a certain file is not accessible when you try it, or you get some rubbish instead of the file you asked for (eg., a html file reporting an error). There are some coomand line options for coping with this kind of complexity, check them out by "grammydotru123 -h". Eg., the program makes it possible to check the size of the downloaded files, and to test the files by passing them to an outer program and match the resulting output against a regexp (currently the "file" command is used, test your "file" command on an existing mp3 file before using grammydotru123, and change the pattern by the appropriate option if necessary -- otherwise all downladed files will be judged being corrupt!!!)
Main features:
- Recursively download songs belonging to an album or artist
- Testing downloaded files
- Retrying unsuccessfull attempts
- Scheduling currently hopeless downloads to better times
- Saving schedules to file and load them
- If you run multiple instances of grammydotru123, number of simultaneously active ones can be limited (in order to aviod refusal by the server)
Enhancements:
- Fixed a bug which caused that a download wasnt retried if it resulted in a corrupt file
- Now those sometimes occuring "CLICK HERE!" redirecting pages are handled as well
- Added one-letter equivalents to some long options
- Removed a file from the package which was there only by accident

Photosight.ru photo previewer shows the last 4 photos uploaded to www.photosight.ru, it also shows the author and the photo name.

Installation:

Just unpack it into some folder, start SuperKaramba and load the photosight.theme file.

Usage:

New photos are downloaded every 2 minutes. If you want to change the update
interval - edit photosight.theme manually and change interval=120000 to
whatever you like (just to remind you, the interval is in milliseconds).

Click (or doubleclick) on the photo will open its web page with bigger picture and comments. By default "konqueror" browser is used.

Configure theme:

"Background" - allows you to change a background of the theme. They are stored in "background" directory under your theme folder.

"Browser" - if you want to change the browser used, just type its command name ("firefox" for example).

"Font name" - changes the font ("Arial" will work, if its installed in the system, of course).

"Font size"
"Font shadow" - are self explanatory, I hope.

rip-utils is a command line toolkit for ripping, encoding, tagging, organizing, compiling, and managing audio archives. Each utility participates in a common framework that allows commodity tools (such as file browsers, multimedia players and streaming servers) to access your digital catalog simply and effectively.

rip

A single command (tuned for optimal quality using cdparanoia and LAME) drives the ripping, encoding and tagging process from end to end:

% ru rip

No further intervention will be necessary. Each track will be extracted from the compact disc, encoded, tagged (using album information obtained from a freedb server) and filed in a sensible location (~/mp3 by default).

list, tag, diff and submit

For those of us who want to exercise some editorial control, rip-utils also provides powerful support for retrieving, modifying, comparing and submitting album information using freedb servers. In addition to supporting standard editing features based on freedb naming conventions, rip-utils offers convenient methods for performing otherwise tedious tasks such as tagging multi-artist compilations or properly capitalizing album and track information; when maximum flexibility is required, regular expressions can be used. For a detailed example, see:

ru tag + cddb read misc 710ef109

organize and compile

Furthermore, rip-utils uses portable mechanisms to organize your entire audio collection. You can use rip-utils to create file system-based categories or to compile standard Internet playlists. Every file created or managed by rip-utils can be easily used – without modification – by most multimedia players, streaming servers (such as the one provided with the SliMP3 Player) and operating systems that might access your recordings using a shared file system (e.g., Samba). At the same time, every effort is made to ensure that each file name and path is legibly formatted so that humans are able glean as much from the file system as their software:

vsdump is an ALT Linux (www.altlinux.ru) project of VSD/VSS file format reverse engineering. The project site is http://www.gnome.ru/projects/vsdump_en.html.

This project was started with Ian Redfern results (http://www.redferni.uklinux.net/visio/) and was greatly improved by knowledges extracted from libgsf. For discovered parts of format look into docs/vsdformat.txt.
