Ubuntu Multimedia :: Any Good Replacement For Foobar 2000?
Oct 7, 2010
I love foobar 2000 but I'm always trying to shy away from windows apps. What are your recommendations as "good" replacements for foobar 2000? So far I have tried:
Amarok - Crashes all the time, and keeps saying it can't play mp3s. Used to love this app, but seems broken for me now. Even if I reinstall it.
Rhythmbox - Great, but reports the wrong bitrate on all my songs. It is very important for me to know the correct bitrate for uploading to certain sites.
Audacious - Way to simple and winamp like.
Bangarang - No.
I LOVE Ubuntu,but the sketchiness with WIFI in Ubuntu is really frustrating (not that it's Ubuntu or GNU/Linux's fault necessarily). I'm trying to find a good WIFI card replacement for my girlfriend's MSI Wind u90, but seems both the Intel 3945abg and the Intel 4965agn - the cards usually recommended for that model - seem to be spotty at best in all recent versions of Ubuntu including the last long-term release. Has anyone had success with a Broadcom 1020 (in any laptop but especially in a netbook)?
When I was using Windows, I would take notes in class on Windows Journal with my tablet. Now that Ubuntu 10.10 supports all my hardware out of the box,I'm planning on using that, but I'm looking for a good replacement for Windows Journal. I don't need compatibility with Windows, but I do need to be able to save and load the notes. Handwriting recognition isn't needed or really wanted, I just use it to draw graphs, formulas, and musical notation for various classes.I love Tomboy, if there's a version that supports touch, I'd love it, but really any app that allows me to draw sometimes and type sometimes and easily switch between the two.
I've been trying to use Wine to make Foobar work in Linux. The program does work, but it doesn't make a sound. For the rest, is works perfectly. I'm having the same problem with any Flash application I try to run: everything works, but without a sound. Amarok, however, doesn't have this problem.Somewhere I found that such problem might be related to Pulseaudio. So I tried going on the Pulseaudio configuration under "other" in the sound panel in YaST, but it tells me that Pulseaudio is not installed or cannot be configurated. I tried installing the package via Terminal, but it tells me that patterns-openSUSE-kde4_pure-11.3-22.1.x86_64 conflicts with pulseaudio given by pulseaudio-0.9.21-10.1.1.x86_64. I would have to delete it, if I wanted to install pulseaudio.Now I don't know where to put my hands. I am not good at this I'm not even sure I would solve my trouble installing pulseaudio, anyway. I'm using a sony vaio VPCEA3C4E with openSUSE 11.3 KDE installed trough USB key.
I have been trying to figure out a way to use a usb flash drive as a substitute for an ipod in my car... I have a female usb plug for the data, but it will not take a regular flash drive.
So, here is my plan. I want to take a flash drive and use a linux ipod interface program to populate it with both the mp3s but also the other itunes crap. Has anyone done this or something like it before?
What are the possible Ubuntu/Linux substitute software applications for Itunes program that is used by most M/S windows computer users. It is my understanding that "maybe", Itunes can be made to work under Ubuntu by going thru a process that resembles reinventing the wheel - am not interested in doing that. Just want an application that does basically the same thing that Itunes does under Windows but does it under Ubuntu. Looking for something that I can point potential Ubuntu converts to, when they ask how do I continue to use Itunes.
I shut down my Ubuntu 10.04 (recently upgraded from 9.04 to 9.10 to 10.04) and moved it to another location with a different monitor, keyboard, mouse. When I booted, a screen came up stating:
Quote: The disk drive for /mnt/foobar is not ready yet or not present. Continue to wait; or press S to skip mounting or M for manual recovery
I've got several language multimedia CD-Rom's, made for Windows 95/98/98 SE and 2000, that I'm using by means of my daughter's old PC (Win 98 SE O.S.). However I noticed, also, that you can perfectly use them even with Windows Vista. What I'd like to know is if you can use them even with Suse/Novell and (why not?) OpenSuse Linux.
I was wondering what exactly happens when I do apt-get --download-only? I have early morning unlimited download hours and I used them today to download a huge number of packages with 'apt-get install foobar --download-only'. Once the packages were downloaded it ended with a message indicating that it has only downloaded the packages. Later I tried to install the same packages using 'apt-get install foobar' and was prompted to download 300MB all over again. I then tried 'apt-get install foobar -no-download', and got the same result.
This didn't yield any results: cd /var/ find . -iname"*foobar*" cd ~/ find . -iname"*foobar*"
What do I need to do to get it to work. I thought that I had understood how to use --download-only after reading the manpage (and pages on the net), but I'm clearly wrong.
Ive been wondering, if there is a audio player for Linux similiar to Foobar. The only thing Im searching for is the ability to sort media library by folder structure. If you know something that can do the job, let me know... Im also searching for easy, intuitive text editor, like Notepad++. I use it for working in school and i just love the way it handles "tab" spaces, and bullet lists.
Does any one know of a good claymation software that will allow me to take pictures and add them as one frame at a time, edit them, add in an audio track, and then export it?
I am elevating this thread up a level from [url] . Ubuntu 9.10 no longer streams without the screen pausing and going black every 2 minutes! Our product was just going into production and now we need to hopefully find a version of Ubuntu that streams video! We couldn't go with Unbuntu 10.04 because the video streaming was 30% slower than 9.10.

You may all know about Total Video Converter, Any Video Converter and such used in Windows, where you chose codecs, like i want to convert to mp4 for my phone.
But.. there's one specific thing I'm looking for that most don't seem to have. Cutting. I need for example, to cut from 24:00 to 30:00, that is the only part i want cut and converted to mp4 ready for my phone.
I have been trying to get Cinelerra, but keep getting errors like bash and stuff like that. Is there a good substitute video editor that is on par with Cinelerra? I had it before and like it, and would like something that is as straight forward to use as that.
i am in the videos business and have been for a while[url] and i need a good screen recorder for the task. fraps worked fine in windows, now i need something similar. i should also mention that i have tried using recordmyscreen and it just fails to render, sticking at 0%.
I am missing in my natty some good tool to operate on id3 tags of my mp3. - Could you recommend one that you are/were using ? I don't use Rhythmbox or Banshee and need other, an "external" tool. Alternatively, it could be plugin for Audacious (v2.5) but it needs to have at least elements of batch processing as I have large and messy and hairy and greasy music collection to be sorted out
Anyone know a good screen recorder than can record OpenGL games with little or no lag? All the ones I've come across are old and won't compile on newer versions of Ubuntu.
I am in need of some input as to what may be a good cd/dvd label printing program or utility.I have used nero and surething on windows. I already tried glabel, the only template it has is for doulble sheet cd/dvds.I am looking for a single template or instructions for making labels in gimp or inkscape.
I have a web cam made by a company called trust. This is the first time I am trying to install a web cam on Debian or Linux as a matter of fact. I am running Squeeze. After doing some google search it seems a lot people are using a program called "gspca". I downloaded it but I came here to see if someone has a better idea on how to have a web cam working.
