Software :: Same MP3 But Bitrate Changes On Different Distros
Jan 29, 2011
I have the same mp3 on two different distros, Fedora 14 and Ubuntu 10.10, both using gnome. The md5sum of the mp3 is identical on both distros, but on Ubuntu the bitrate is 96kbps and on Fedora it is apparently 257kbps. Discovered this using RhythmBox but also appears in Nautilus browser, under the properties tag.
In fact the bitrate should be 139 or possibly 132. So assume that is what is wrong. Have assiduously coated myself with nourishing smegma and the like but am unable to work out how to set the bitrate in this case.
Kernel 2.6.21.5, Slakware 12.0 I have plenty of files like this:
Code:
$ file 23-1.mp3 23-1.mp3: Audio file with ID3 version 23.0 tag, MP3 encoding $
All I want to know about a file like this is the bitrate is has been created with. Can this data be inside the tag? What's a cli program that lets me know that information?
I am wanting to reduce around 9.9gigs of music to 8gigs to fit on my phone. I have done some snooping and noticed a program called Lame. I also noticed a code:
for x in [ `ls -1 *.mp3` ]; do lame --preset 32 $x new32-${x}; done
I was wondering if someone would be able to explain the code and how I go about converting the bitrate to 96?
I am trying to find out how I can estimate the IP Layer bitrate I would get from an ethernet link? Say at 100 Mbits/s or 200 Mbits/s (powerline)? Is there a formula that I could use to calculate that?
The subject of this post is actually a question e.g. is there a mp3 ripper that allows the bitrate to be modified. I have looked at cdparanioa, which I believe is the foundation of most of the Linux rippers, but it does not allow modification of the bitrate. I realise I could ripper in flacc format but I have an mp3 player as does my grandaughter so I need the mp3 format. Incidentally is there a player(portable) that will play flacc encoded files?
This may be a minor irritation, but I'm puzzled by it nonetheless. I'm ripping my CDs to MP3 using Sound Juicer with the lamemp3enc plugin and following gstreamer pipeline.
All was great a couple days ago, but suddenly the files' audio properties show 48 kbps bitrate when it should be well over 200. I even changed the pipeline to use "target=1 bitrate=256" with the same result. The files are being encoded as expected and that is reflected in the file size and the Statistics view in VLC.
I have two computers running Ubuntu 10.10. One has all the latest updates, but the other has not been updated in several days. This problem is happening on the former, but not the latter. gst-inspect lamemp3enc shows both computers have the same version of the encoder.
I thought I'd put it out to the forum here before submitting a bug in launchpad.
I really need to burn my 64 kbps uncompressed A-Law PCM file to Audio CD uncompressed as is and make this 8 hour file appear on CD Players. What app does it for me? It must fit on CD! Goldwave makes a-law / u-law wav files BTW. I can do this with linux or windows with any application. tell me how or where to download. I have the wav files already.
I have a large collection of music albums sorted in folders which are named like this: "Zombie Ritual - 2004 - Night Of The Zombie Party" (%{artist} - %{year} - %{album}). I want to rename them so as to be indicative of the bitrate, for example, "Zombie Ritual - 2004 - Night Of The Zombie Party" => "Zombie Ritual - 2004 - Night Of The Zombie Party (@320)". It will be hard to do this manually. I tried to use EasyTag and Kid3 to do this, but they cannot add bitrate to tags.
Mencoder settings... I'm doing a simple transcoding of an avi file from FFmpeg MPEG4 codec to XVID MPEG-4 codec. The problem is that the audio bitrate is changing from 192 kbps to 32 kbps. The audio codec for both files is mp3 (MPEG-1 layer 3). (I'm transcoding the FFmpeg MPEG4 encoded avi because my blu-ray player doesn't see, let alone play it. Any XVID MPEG-4 encoded avi files the blu-ray player sees and plays fine). I ran mencoder trying the four settings below but the audio bitrate still comes out at 32 kbps:
When I convert files with mencoder I get the output with incorrect audio bitrate. Seems that mencoder ignores the bitrate I pass to it. Here's my script:
Result file should have 128kbps audio bitrate, but here are the results: Input file: 02_seminar.avi, 42Mb video: 432x320 00:05:10 25fps DivX5 1Mbps audio: 48KHz 00:05:10 Stereo 138Kbps mp3
howto to transcode multiple mp3 files to another bitrate? I have a lot of 320bits mp3 which should be converted to 192bits before I can play them on my car stereo.
I have 1 router 2 pcs. We had to move one pc away from the router so I bought a wifi card. Everything went fine, the card works and I have internet but the network is incredible slow.
I've been testing with the SoundConverter software and I want to write a script for it.Most music files on my pc are *.flac. But I want to convert some albums to my mp3 player with a script. Everything works fine. I do this:Code:soundconverter -b -m audio/mpeg -s .mp3 *.flacBut the quality is 128kbps.Is there any way to change the bitrate (in the terminal ofcourse)?And if this is not possible, is there an alternative that copies the tags correct like SoundConverter?
I have finally found a native Linux music player that's as light and as simple as Foobar(unfortunately Foobar under Wine is giving me problems so I needed to find a native player). creating custom columns for the player. And since I can't find any DeadBeef forums, I'm hoping people here are familiar with this player.
So, the two main custom columns I'm looking to create are Codec and Bitrate. Codec to show if the tracker is mp3, ogg, flac, etc. And Bitrate to show the bitrate of each track.
Now there's an option in DeadBeef to create columns, but I'm having trouble figuring out how to get the column to show the info that I want. I was hoping that the way you get custom columns to show up in Foobar would work in DeadBeef. But inputting %bitrate% and %codec% into the columns in DeadBeef does not work.
how to get the two columns that I'm wanting to display the info that I want?
Or at least that's what I figured, when watching videos from ....., etc., the sound in the left channel turns into distorted high frequency noise, anyone had the same issue? Is there a fix for this? Sound in other applications works just fine.EDIT: Oh, and I'm using the proprietary flash plugin, has worked just fine on my Ubuntu Studio on the exact same computer.
I am looking for an application to detect mp3 duplicates using the mp3 spectrograph (sound wave matching) or something similar because simply I have many mp3 files that are the same but with different bitrate,ID3 tags,filesize
I wonder why my hard disk (with Fedora 11 on) is not seen by live cd distros (I tried with Knoppix 6.2 and Vector Light). In the past (before f11) this never happened
when so many Linux distros are available for free..than why did u choose fedora only.? what features attracted u towards it and what makes it different from others Linux distributions.
I currently have one very big partition in my laptop that runs Ubuntu. I have to install Fedora for work and I'd also like to try out OpenSUSE, so I'll have to repartition. Since I don't want to duplicate data, I will move /home to a different partition and mount it from all three. I'd like to know, can I also do this with /var and /usr? If so, would that mean that every program I install will be available from all three?
I got Fedora LiveCD version on my USB....but I would like to test many other distros on the same USB. Is there a way to have all of the distros on my USB, and when I open the boot menu on startup, I can choose which distro to boot?
I tried posting the following over at the Sabayon forum but its pretty quiet over there and this quiestion could relate to any two other distros, question:-
I have dual booted an acer 5220 laptop with Sabayon 4 and Ubuntu - Ubuntu was first on there and 8.10 saw my wifi card straight away, (in fact 8.4 saw it but only after conecting via ethernet to do the first round of updates) but Sabayon 4 just will not connect via wifi - Is it possible to take the working wifi part of the ubuntu installation? Or am I barking up the wrong tree? I love the look of Sabayon.
i have linux mint 10 installed on my system and i want to install fedora 14 too .since fedora 14 comes with grub legacy and not grub 2 so,if i install fedora 14 would the grub 2 that comes with Linux mint be over-written by grub leagacy if yes,then how do i install fedora 14 withoust losing grub 2
i am still a linux newbie. i'm trying to study the features of the different LINUX distros through installing ubuntu,debian,redhat,centos and fedora as Virtual Machines in VirtualBox.As i've figured out, they look different somehow, they have diffirent managers ,i.e. for downloading or updating their components. BUT MY QUESTION: are these distros internally compatible ?
Do any commands exist in one distro but not in the others? ARE ALL Distros compatible on the CLI-basis ?
Do I understand correctly? When some new version of program comes out, it is available as a source code only. Then distros' maintainers download it and every maintainer builds his own version of the program for his distro. And every maintainer makes changes in the program, so Arch's program differs from the same program, built for Ubuntu. And for Fedora there is another version of this program that differs. And maintainer can do any changes in program he wants, so the program might even not to look like original one? It might be half of original one and another half is written by the maintainer.
