Free your next 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.

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.

POE::Component::Enc::Mp3 is a mp3 encoder wrapper.

SYNOPSIS

use POE qw(Component::Enc::Mp3);

$mp3 = POE::Component::Enc::Mp3->new($bitrate => 160);

$mp3->enc("/tmp/tst.wav");

POE::Kernel->run();

This POE component encodes raw audio files into mp3 format. It is merely a wrapper for the notlame program.

METHODS

The module provides an object oriented interface as follows:

new

Used to initialise the system and create a module instance. The following parameters are available:

alias

Indicates the name of a session to which module callbacks are posted. Default: main.

bitrate

Should be self-evident. If left unspecified, defaults to 160.

enc < file-name > [del-orig]

Encodes the given file, naming it with a .mp3 extension. An optional true value for the second parameter indicates that the original file should be deleted.

e.g. $mp3->enc("/tmp/tst.wav");

PyMM is an MP3 Manager written in Python. With it you can easily create playlists, edit ID3 tags and search your collection.
I used to use the windows program MP3 Manager to manage my MP3s. I have since migrated my MP3 collection to Unix, and I therefore needed something similar on that platform. The project also gave me an opportunity to get aquainted with wxPython, which I must say is a quite suberb windowing toolkit.
You can use the program to manage your collection, create playlists, control the XMMS player, edit ID3 tags and so forth.
You can install the program in two ways:
1. run "python setup.py install". This requires write access to the python installation tree. It will install a startup script in the python bin directory. Then just type "pymm" to start the program.
This requires Python 2.0/1.6 or that you have Distutils installed.
2. Just put this directory somewhere and start the program with "python pymm.py". I made a link to the pymm.py script in a bin directory (i.e something like "ln -s /pymm.py /usr/local/bin/pymm").
Enhancements:
- pymm.py (Timer.Notify): Added total time of track to statusbar.
- xmms.py (Xmms): Added get_playlist_time(pos).

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)

Lien Mp3 Player is a mp3 and audio cd player for GNU Linux console.
All you need is a Pentium 90 or faster computer (you can do mono output if you have slower computer), GNU Library 2.0 or above and ncurses 5.
The project was improved many many times by recommendation of users. Now it is even better than the one I have plan to do in the first place.
Main features:
- Fast Mp3 Decoding
- Excellent quality sound playback
- File Menu for easier file selection
- Playlist support
- Playlist Randomizing
- Fast Forward, Back To Beginning, Previous Song and Next Song key
- Endless Looping
- Play Audio CD Track
Enhancements:
- Makefile enhancements.
