General :: Stop Song On The Laptop - Start Playing Same Song On The PC?
Sep 24, 2010I'm looking for some pointers on a method to "transfer" the song-playing from my laptop to my PC, both running ubuntu. The use case is: I'm home listening to some song on the laptop. Then I realize how crappy the speakers are. Here's what I do *now*:
1. Stop playback on the laptop
2. Get up, go to the PC, open the music player
3. Find the same song
4. Try to find the same point in the song
5. Stop playback on the laptop
6. Start playback on the PC (the PC has good speakers)
Of course now I'm dreaming of having a "button" I push that does all this all by itself. Can anyone give me some pointers?
General :: Recommend A STUDIO / ARTIST Distro?
Feb 5, 2011There are several articles, questionairres and forum threads around the net helping newbies to Linux choose a distro, but there appear to be none which specifically help people choose one suitable for design, studio or home recording.
- I'm a professional graphic designer who also dabbles in music production in my own time.
- I currently use Vista 64 on a reasonably powerful HP desktop.
- I'm not afraid of dabbling in basic programming, but overall I'm a beginner in that area.
My criteria:
- A OS that runs smoothly and reliably.
- Has a concise range of applications, but includes the best of the best. Quality over quanity.
- Has good hardware support.I don't want to spend weeks trying to get my audio interface, scanner and graphics tablet working.
- Is very secure. The main reason I'm moving to Linux is because my laptop eventually became riddled with Trojans despite my best efforts at keeping it clean.
- Preferably supports 64 bit.
- Looks slick (yes I know that's a bit superficial and it's not necessarily what Linux is about, but if I'm gonna be staring at a screen all day every day it might as well be attractive).
I've done a bit of research, and looked elsewhere on this forum for advice but it's strangely lacking (or I'm missing it). So far Ubuntu Studio, Sabayon, ArtistX and PureDyne look pretty promising. GNUartist, Open Artist and AV Linux also seem worth considering.Obviously I'm prepared to try a few different ones to see which one i gel with. I just wondered if my above criteria screams out for one or other of the available distributions, so that I can have a good starting point.

Feb 18, 2010Fresh install of debian lenny / mostly default load
VLC 1.0.5 install
cd rom
dvd rom
vlc plays cd (no audio but can see tracking of song) but not dvd
fstab (cannot edit -permissions and don't know how to effect the proper permissions)
fstab
/dev/hda /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0
/dev/hdb /media/cdrom1 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0
someone recommended changing to
/dev/cdrom1 /""
Don't see how that would fix audio but anyway cannot change fstab.
checked advanced input / codec in VLC
dvd = dev/hdb
cd = dev/hda
Totem -plays the dvd but quality / volume is not there, prefer VLC. Soundjuicer plays the audio with sound nicely. Just would like VLC to do it all.

Mar 13, 2010I am making a simple Pandora.com alternative for myself and a few friends where the user can upload his/her songs and listen to them anywhere. My intent is to make a lightweight, simple player in HTML5 so all the user needs is a current Firefox or Chrome to use it. I have set it up so that all uploaded songs get converted to .ogg and added to a database but I also want some metadata (not sure if that is the correct term) for the songs to be stored in the database so the player can tell the user what song he/she is listening too. I know there are several GUI tools for managing the title/artist/album info for songs but I'm having trouble finding any good ones I can use from the command line. If the song has the information already in the file, I think I can use mplayer to retrieve the information but it would be really great if there was one that would look up the song information online.

Jun 16, 2010I was glad to see another release of exaile. I'm always happy to see improving mainstream desktop apps, especially when they start being much superior to their commercial counterparts in both, quality and quantity, of features. But as if developers are ignoring the simple usability problems - again - exaile like all other gnome music players (apart from amarok, but that's kde!) can't browse your library by album artist!

Feb 10, 2010My last.fm scrobbler is, for some reason, reversing my track titles and artist names. My music is all tagged appropriately. For example, if I play:
Artist: John Coltrane
Title: Giant Steps
It will be scrobbled as:
Artist: Giant Steps
Title: John Coltrane.
I'm running Arch and using QL's default plugin. This also occurs when I use the lastfmsubmitd daemon. I have tried defining different artist/track patterns within the plugin options with no luck, though I may be doing it wrong. I used <title> for <artist> for the pattern definitions.
EDIT:Audio scrobbling works in Exaile, so now I know for sure that my tagging is not at fault.
EDIT 2Well I found the solution. I updated qlscrobbler.py with the version found here:
[URL] Now everything scrobbles correctly.
Ubuntu :: Apache2 Mod_Rewrite - Passing The Artist=$1 To The Server GET Vars
Sep 9, 2010I've given a bit of support using Mod_rewrite to use magical urls to redirect to scripts, but when I migrated to Ubuntu's Apache2... I'm lost. I basically want to rewrite like this:
Code: RewriteRule ^artist/(.+)/$ artist.php?artname=$1 But I noticed that it wasn't passing the artist=$1 to the server GET vars. Then I noticed that if I changed the name of the file in both the rule and the file system to artists.php, typing artist/blah/ no longer was found. So then I realized that if I removed the rewrite rule artist/hello/ would still resolve to artist.php without any parameters my htaccess is like so:

Mar 28, 2011I recently downloaded several MP3 albums from Amazon. Most of these albums contain works from several different composers. The problem is, the Rhythmbox music player in Ubuntu Maverick won't display composer tags. I am therefore searching for a way to overwrite the artist tag of each file with the composer info. This overwriting would need to be a batch process.
Let's say that I have an album of the New York Philharmonic performing works of a dozen different composers.I would like for the correct composer to overwrite New York Philharmonic in each file. Is it possible to use a program such as EasyTag do what I need? Please provide detailed instructions and/or a link to such details.

View 3 Replies View RelatedFedora :: Songbird Repeats Every Second Song Endless?
Jun 24, 2010I got a problem with my Songbird (1.4.3) on a Fedora 12 64 bit. When I play music and the first song is over, the song changes but the little loudspeaker symbol in the list, that displays the currently playing song, doesn't move to this song. It just stays on the first played one and also the title of the first one is displayed above the progress bar. But that's not all, when the song should change again (from second to third song), it won't do so. The second played song starts again and will be repeated again and again and Meanwhile the mentioned symbol just stays in front of the first song. Only if I press the "next" button two times the third song will be played. So I got to press "next" two times after every two songs. That makes listening to music nearly impossible. The problem occurred after installing a lot of updates (I had no fast internet connection for months so I now had to install all at once), so it is difficult to say which package causes the issue. Before that Songbird worked all fine for months. I would be glad to provide further information, but neither running songbird in terminal, nor the songbird error console shows up any error related to this behaviour. I also tried to delete the .songbird2 folder in my userhome, but it made no difference at all. Normally i would get the latest verion of the software at first, but since songbird dropped linux support, there is no newer linux version than the one installed on my system.

As mentioned, to adjust volume I use multimedia keys. On DELL Inspiron 9400 laptop.

Used master channel (for multimedia keys): PCM
Volume level does't drop or increase, if I don't change song manually.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Song Tagging Utility ?
Nov 10, 2010I am looking for a utility that will allow me to add required metadata to my songs after importing from CD or whatever. I do not want something that will find the information online. I want to have total control over that including the ability to do global changes on songs as well as one by one changes.
Right now I am trying out Kid3-qt and Ex Falso but don't quite know if I am using them properly.
I also tried Sound Juicer but I am not sure if it is really tagging properly when importing audio CD's.
