Free your mp3 software for linux

Sort MP3 is a script was made to help in organizing MP3s. If you have one directory with allot of mp3s and the names are not very readable you can run this script against them. It will read the id tag of a mp3 and rename the file to the title of the song but with _ instead of spaces. It can also create a directory structure from the id tag if the -c option is used. The structure will be put in the same directory the mp3s are in. It will be something like: "/BANDNAME/CDTITLE/SONG.mp3"

Usage: sort_mp3.pl [options]
Options should be separated by a space and my be
in any order.

-c Create a directory structure from the mp3 tag.
It is made inside the directory holding the un-named mp3s.
If not set the files will just be renamed.
Example: "/BANDNAME/CDTITLE/SONG.mp3"

-d= Path to the directory where mp3s can be found.
There should be no / at the end and no spaces.
Example: "-d=/unsorted_mp3s"

Dynamic MP3 Lister was a project I started a long time ago to create dynamic lists of MP3s quickly and easily.

Features MP3 Information extraction for things like bitrate, channels, playtime and more.

Please note that this script is discontinued, and is only shown here now as an example of my work.

With kmp3db, you can search easily through all your mp3 files. With a double-click on a song, your favorite mp3-player will play the song!
Main features:
- create and play playlists
- playing and queueing
- dragndrop
- support for ogg/vorbis files
- recursively scan your filesystem for .mp3/.ogg files
- support for cds
- extract info from tags in the file or from the filename
- xml database

qndmp3 (the Quick and Dirty MP3 Player) is a Perl-based console MP3 player-frontend with playlist support. In the future this file will be more informative.

Mp3Kult project organizes your collection of MP3s. Mp3Kult is an application for KDE 3. It organizes your MP3/Ogg collection in a MySQL database.

It can read MP3/Ogg tags and song information (length, bit rate, sample rate, etc.), make playlists, play songs with an external player (xmms, gqmpeg), find a song in database (base and advanced search), and make a copy of a playlist on your hard disk (to play the playlist without inserting CDROMs).

Mp3Kult can recursivly scan directories to find MP3/Ogg files, and it can automatically mount, umount, and eject a CDROM before/after a job.

An MP3 LEnder is a simple MP3 server written in C.
AMPLE is short for "A MP3 LEnder" (interesting name just to make a good abbreviation?)
I wrote AMPLE one summer when I was coding for a company and got fed up with having to FTP over all my MP3 files from my home server to the computer at work just to listen to them. And the other "MP3 servers" I could find didnt fit my needs for one of the following reasons:
Depended on libfoo, libbar, python, perl, php3, Apache, libssl, etc, etc, etc...I just wanted to listen to the files
Had a lot of features for "DJ:ing" etc that I really didnt need
Well....it was fun to write too :)
So whats good with AMPLE?
Small, standalone (written in C using no external libraries)
Portable (I think), I often try to compile it on the SourceForge compile farms
Allows you to listen to your own MP3s away from home, nothing more, nothing less
This is beginning to sound like marketing cr*p so Ill just stop right there, check out the links on the left for more info.
Enhancements:
- Make ID3v2 code understand versions 2.2.0 -> 2.4.0 (all currently existing versions)
- Reformat HTML output somewhat
- Fix search-and-replace error in libwrap code
- Made servername a config option
- Renamed -r to -n (NON-recursive)
- Changed the DEF_LOGFILE (it pointed to ample.conf instead of ample.log)
- Much work on autoconf stuff, should work much better now
- Some more testing on other architectures (Ive compiled it on everything from Tru64 to Linux to *BSD)

MP3::Find is a Perl module to search and sort MP3 files based on their ID3 tags.

SYNOPSIS

# select with backend you want
use MP3::Find qw(Filesystem);

print "$_n" foreach find_mp3s(
dir => /home/peter/cds,
query => {
artist => ilyaimy,
title => deep in the am,
},
ignore_case => 1,
exact_match => 1,
sort => [qw(year album tracknum)],
printf => %2n. %a - %t (%b: %y),
);

This module allows you to search for MP3 files by their ID3 tags. You can ask for the results to be sorted by one or more of those tags, and return either the list of filenames (the deault), a printf-style formatted string for each file using its ID3 tags, or the actual Perl data structure representing the results.

There are currently two backends to this module: MP3::Find::Filesystem and MP3::Find::DB. You choose which one you want by passing its name as the argument to you use statement; MP3::Find will look for a MP3::Find::$BACKEND module. If no backend name is given, it will default to using MP3::Find::Filesystem.
Note: Im still working out some kinks in the DB backend, so it is currently not as stable as the Filesystem backend.

Note the second: This whole project is still in the alpha stage, so I can make no guarentees that there wont be significant interface changes in the next few versions or so. Also, comments about what about the API rocks (or sucks!) are appreciated.
