Free tags software for linux

PerlPoint::Tags is a Perl module that can process PerlPoint tag declarations.

SYNOPSIS

# declare a tag declaration package
package PerlPoint::Tags::New;

# declare base "class"
use base qw(PerlPoint::Tags);

PerlPoint is built a modularized way. The base packages provide parsing and stream processing for all translators into target formats and are therefore intended to be as general as possible. Thats why they not even define tags, because every translator author may wish to provide own tags special to the addressed target projector (or format, respectively). On the other hand, the parser needs to know about tags to recognize them correctly. That is where this module comes in. It serves as a base of tag declaration modules by providing a general import() method to be inherited by them. This method scans the invoking module for certain data structures containing tag declarations and imports these data into a structure in its own namespace. The parser knows about this PerlPoint::Tags collection and makes it the base of its tag handling.

It is recommended to have a "top level" tag declaration module for each PerlPoint translator, so there could be a PerlPoint::Tags::HTML, a PerlPoint::Tags::Latex, PerlPoint::Tags::SDF, a PerlPoint::Tags::XML and so on. (These modules of course may simply invoke lower level declarations.)

Note: We are speaking in terms of "classes" here but of course we are actually only using the mechanism of import() together with inheritance to provide an intuitive and easy to use way of declaration.

As an additional feature, the module provides a method addTagSets() to allow translator users to declare tags additionally.

gst-id3v23-tags application provides a gstreamer plugin that adds metadata to media files (mainly MP3 audio files) with ID3 version 2.3.0 tags. This information includes elements such as the tracks title, author, performing artist, etc.

Other gstreamer taggers either create ID3 1.0 tags, which have significant limitations, or ID3 2.4 tags, which are not understood by as many MP3 players as ID3 2.3.

The gstreamer framework provides already some ID3 taggers, at least two of them one that encodes the in the version 1.0 and the other in the 2.4. Today most software and hardware mp3 players are able to understand at least one of the two formats. The problem is that not all MP3 players (specially the hardware ones) are able to understand ID3 v2.4 tags and using ID3 v1.0 can have some limitations specially with tags that contain UNICODE characters. Its most likely that today a decent MP3 player will be able to understand ID3 v2.3 tags.

This plugin was written in order to provide an alternative to MP3 players that can understand only ID3 v2.3 tags. This plugin should provide a nicer alternative to the end user over the two existing plugin in the gstreamer framework.

The ID3 v2.3 encoding is actually performed through the library id3lib which is available at http://www.id3lib.org/. The plugin it self depends only on the gstreamer framework (version 0.10) and the library id3lib (version 3.8.3).

To compile do:

make plugin

To install the plugin into your home account (no need to be root) just do:

make install

To use the plugin, just include the element id3v23 in any gstreamer pipeline. Heres an example on how to retag an old MP3 using the command line:

gst-launch filesrc location=a.mp3 ! id3demux ! id3v23 ! filesink location=b.mp3

Heres an example of an gstreamer audio profile used by sound-juiver for
extracting CDs into MP3s:

audio/x-raw-int,rate=44100,channels=2 ! lame mode=0 vbr-quality=6 ! id3v23

PerlPoint::Tags::XML is a PerlPoint tag set used by pp2sdf.

SYNOPSIS

# declare tags used by pp2sdf
use PerlPoint::Tags::XML;

This module declares PerlPoint tags used by XML converters. Tag declarations are used by the parser to determine if a used tag is valid, if it needs options, if it needs a body and so on. Please see PerlPoint::Tags for a detailed description of tag declaration.

Every PerlPoint translator willing to handle the tags of this module can declare this by using the module in the scope where it built the parser object.

# declare basic tags
use PerlPoint::Tags::XML;

# load parser module
use PerlPoint::Parser;

...

# build parser
my $parser=new PerlPoint::Parser(...);

amaroK Last.fm tags script fetches your tags from Last.fm for artists, albums, and tracks. It stores them as id3v2 COMM tags in your music files and appends them to the comment for the given track in amaroKs collection where they can be used to contruct smart playlists.

So far this script only fetches your tags, it doesnt syncronize changes you make locally back to Last.fm. Probably this feature should wait until the implementation of "labels" which is coming in amaroK 1.5.

Also so far it is only possible to fetch tags for a selection within a playlist. The other context sub-menus just provide helpful messages saying that this feature isnt implimented yet.

As usual this software comes with no warrenty, it might eat your lunch, etc.. That said it works for me.

I owe a large debt of gratitude to Miguel Angel Alvarez whoes amaroK Replaygain script served as the skeleton of this one. Thanks Miguel!
