I have no idea why Braseo won't write this album to a CD. I can easily listen to the whole album with Banshee, but Braseo won't burn it I copy and pasted the log file below.
Checking session consistency (brasero_burn_check_session_consistency brasero-burn.c:1744)
BraseroNormalize called brasero_job_get_action

I read the log file and I can't make any sense out of it.
I'm having some real troubles with my install of Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. It was a fresh install just after 10.04 was released, so it's not been installed long. Just recently lots of things have stopped working I can't sudo (sudo: must be setuid root) Trying to su root tells me I got the password wrong, even though I know it's right Sound has broken Brasero won't write CDs anymore Plugging in a pendrive gives some permissions mounting error Clicking 'shut down' just logs out. The machine won't shut down at all. I'm guessing this might all be related to permissions/users? I really don't want to have to reinstall again!
I have Ubuntu 11.04 and I have some music in flac-format. However, when I try to transfer that music to my ipod nano 5g using Banshee, I only have the option of converting it to pcm, not i.e. mp3.
Is it possible to set Banshee up, so it converts flac to mp3 instead of PCM?
How to install XMMS from source with the Flac plugin. It was originally based on howto's from blogs. I have tested this on Karmic Koala and it should work fine.
We will start off with XMMS. We'll take the plugin later..
You will need "cuetag" for this which is part of the "cuetools" but since you already installed it (see previous seps), all you have to do is open the terminal, navigate to the folder where you just splitted some APE or FLAC files and type this:
Code:
cuetag *.cue split-track*.flac ;
(if you didn't change the file's name from split-trackNN.flac). All the split-track*.flac files will have tags in just a few seconds.so i did exactly what i was suppose to do but for some reason is still could not add the tags to my FLAC files..
Code:
kon@kon-laptop:~$ cd ~/Desktop kon@kon-laptop:~/Desktop$ cd *ora* kon@kon-laptop:~/Desktop/sDvorak $ cd *CD1*
I have tried everything within my power and knowledge to get xmms2 to play my flac files, but I just get no sound. I've had to resort to mplayer for now for flac. For the record, yes I have the flac plugin installed along with the all-plugins package.
I used Sound Converter to convert a few artists tracks from flac to mp3. I've done this successfully in the Windows environment many times. Now when I go to play the tracks on my Creative Zen, they are not there but when I look at the tracks that I transferred over, in the file window, they are there and they are MP3's but my Zen isn't recognizing them. What's going on? All other artists that aren't converted MP3s are fine.
Lately I've tried rsync for backing up my home partition to an external drive, but I've run into some problems with some flac files (there might be other problematic files though, these are the ones I know of). The external drive is formatted in ntfs. Now, when adding my whole music directory (within my home directory) first as a library to VLC and then copying to the playlist, some files are not playable. I discovered this at work in windows, and resaved all the flac files using ex falso to skip windows incompatible characters. The problem persisted though. I tried the same thing in VLC in Ubuntu, and got again a set of non-playable files, partly, but not completely, overlapping the set of files that were not playable in windows. The original files (on my internal drive) are playable in VLC in Ubuntu. What to do (except to go back to cp instead of rsync, rsync is faster, but if it doesn't copy correctly, it's not worth it)?
What's the easiest way to convert ALL mp3's in a library folder into a non-proprietary format like FLAC or OGG format? One that can search recursively and save the converted files in the same folders as the originals.
I would like to know which repositories I have to add to allow k3b to rip cds into flac because even though I have installed k3b codecs, I cannot rip cds into flac.
Amarok will play flac files just fine, but when i try to index them into the library via "Update collection" they are not added.
All other threads i can find on this kind of thing also have Amarok not playing flac....but if i drag and drop them in, they play just fine, so i know its not a codec problem.
Is there something i have to enable? Like in some media players, you can set which formats are scanned for...but i cant seem to find such a feature available in any of the Amarok settings...
I have a whole bunch of wma files I want to convert to a more liked format like wv flac or shn. Shntool does not seem to want to do that soundconverter and soundkonverter both refuse too. My wma format is wma1 or wmal cannot tell if it is 1 the number or l the letter L. 1. They play in xine straight off. Xine is in your synaptic 2. To convert quickly install dBpoweramp under wine again quick and no fuss.
I have all my CDs in FLAC format for playback in my home but like most folks I have a portable.Now, converting my collection to Mp3 fits on my player but its a pain to manually convert each new album. It would be cool to script something that could be run on cron or manually to keep them synced.
I want to rip all my CDs to flac at the lowest compression (space is not an issue) via Banshee. I have tried a few tracks but the seem to be ripped at a higher compression to the ones I have done via sound juicer (set at compression 0)
How do I adjust the flac settings in Banshee to do this? The option to edit the settings is not available for flac? I guess there is a config file somewhere?
My aim is to create a bash shell script that I can use in directories with many subdirectories full of .flac files for mass transcodings that recquire minimal user input.At present I have this file at ~/bin/flac2mp3:
Code: #!/bin/bash file="$1" flac -cd "$file" | lame --preset fast extreme - "${file%.flac}.mp3" I navigate to the directory in question and run:
I downloaded a couple of TTA files and they are just static on playback. Do I need a different codec or something? Converting the files to FLAC yielded the same results. I'm running a 10.04 64bit machine.
I just installed Ubuntu on a net book. I'd like hook it up to my car's aux jack and use it to play FLAC files in my car. Is there a an media player that would be good for that? If I could set multiple hot keys I could set one side of the key board for forward and back.
I noticed recently that when you put a Audio "red book" cd in the drive and look at it with KDE Dolphin file manager, it shows the CD as a handy tree of folders called "MP3", "Ogg", "FLAC" and so on. So if you copy the FLAC directory to your hard drive, it then uses flac to rip the wav files in the CD to FLAC's on the hard drive. This is all nice but I noticed my Fedora 15 was doing this without the cdparanoia package being installed. I've since installed cdparanoia (which is a software for robustly error correcting and if necessary, multi-try reading from the disk to get a majority vote correct read). Does this mean I can't be assured the FLAC files Dolphin made are bit perfect? I would have assumed that you'd need to use cdparanoia to be sure the wav's get ripped to flac perfectly.
As K3b is the standard ripper I suppose it must be possible rip an audio cd to flac? In the plugin menu I see that the flac decoder is installed but not the encoder. Did someone already succeeded in installing the flac encoder plugin?
FYI: With virtual folders I am able to copy from the flac directory. It works to encode with flac like this but I experience the last seconds of the song are gone...
I would like have a script that can monitor my flac folder and everytime I rip a new cd to flac I would like the script to make a new folder with mp3 files @320 bit and place the newly created folder with mp3's into a folder named mp3. This is my very first script but after reading up on linuxcommand.org I discovered the power of scripts. Maybe there already exsist such a script for all I know?
Where would be a good place to search/look for templates that I can tailor to meet my needs? Also I would like to hear good suggestions for other repetitive tasks people solve with the use of scripts, that way I can easier see what else I can dig into. Can scripts also be used to manipulate databases? For instance to every day search for top 50 of certain met criteria, or whatever else output one is looking for?
Looks like k3b is hanging after finishing ripping an audio cd to flac.
Doing a "ps -ef |grep flac" shows that the external flac child-process it invokes has ended.
This was working prior to BETA1, though I'm not sure if it was the k3b updates in BETA1 or anything subsequent that broke it.
update:
Found a similar report on Ubuntu forums for 10.04 but using the lame encoder. As k3b used the 'external encoder plugin" for both lame and flac it looks like the same issue and it's clearly not slackware specific.
I am looking for a command line command to convert ~2500 .flac files to .ogg files. All of the .flac files are in one folder and I would like to have the .ogg files put in a folder labled OGG - I would like to retain song information etc if possible.
Background: I'm digitizing an old record. I used Sound Recorder to make FLACs of each side of the LP, and now I need to edit them down to individual tracks. I'm using the development version of Ubuntu 10.04.
Problem: Audacity ignores these FLAC files when I attempt to import or open them.
The FLAC files play if I hover the mouse over them in GNOME.
Audacity gladly imports FLAC files I ripped from CD last year (using Sound Juicer I think).
But when I try to do the same for my recorded FLAC files, nothing happens. I tried running audacity in a terminal window, and there is no additional output when I attempt the import. This comes out when I start it:
Looking at the file properties, they're basically the same except the Juicer-generated file has values filled in for title, artist, album, year. They are all FLAC Stereo 44100 Hz. I thought it might be a file-size problem, so I made a 5-second test with Sound Recorder, and that also refuses to import.
So, why do only the ripped files work with Audacity?
