Ubuntu Multimedia :: Audio File Conversion From Rhythmbox To Milestone (Droid)?
Mar 27, 2010
I'm using Rhythmbox to manage my music collection. I have ripped my CDs into FLAC files. I'm using the Motorola Milestone (The Droid) as my music player and syncing it using Rhythmbox.
Now, when I transfer my music files from Rhythmbox to the Milestone, it automatically convert the FLAC files to MP3. But the conversion is set to 128Kps.
How do I change this default conversion rate? Or even, how do I change to another conversion format altogether?

I'm having the issue that I cannot conenct to the wlan of my Motorola Milestone/Droid with Android 2.2 and the 3G Hotspot service started. When I want to connect, I have to type the WPA2 passhrase in, I do that correctly and then the system tries to conenct. This failed and then I have to type the passphrase again.It's a Samsung N130 Netbook with Ubuntu 11.04 installed.

I think that the biggest problem that I have had is that some of the music (and audio books) that I have gotten have not played on my walkman, or have not been able to be downloaded in to I-tunes.
First: I hate itunes... I only try to make it work because I love my wife. (and do not want her to hit me)
Second: I know that my Walkman has a very limited range of files that it can play, so I will need to convert some types of files.
But my basic questions:
* How can I figure out what format a file is in?
* Below that, how can I identify the singular characteristics of a file? (bit rate, and other formats...)
* Is there a best way to switch the formats or format options of these files. (I am currently using sox to do this, it seems to very complete)
Basically. I know nothing! The most that I do not know is that two files that as far as I can tell have the same formats, and should work the same never the less, one of them works, the other does not. I am looking to figure out a way to look at these files (maybe they are mislabeled) and figure out what their real format is (and a more complete format than just being MP3 or such) and then to be able to convert it in to a format that is able to be used by myself and/or my wife.

I am Ubuntu user, having only recently left the stinking, bloated corpse that is Windows ($225 for an upgrade to Win7 is just obscene). I have a huge library of Mp3's, which I have managed to enable support for on Ubuntu, and have installed Amarok, as I didn't think much of rythmbox.
So far so good, but I still need a program to rip/convert the rest of my CD's, and to convert lossless files. I'm looking for a CD ripper with similar functionality to EAC (Exact Audio Copy). One aspect I am looking for is the ability to manually change the Mp3 encoder used by the program. I am partial to the lame 3.98 encoder, and would like to keep using it. If the program already uses this encoder (or a close version), then that's fine and no need for the ability to manually change the encoder.

i am using ubuntu lucid now and using ubuntu for 2years now.except nokia pc-suite i do not miss other s/w for windows.i tried to convert audio and video for using in nokia 5800,but i am not very successful mainly due to my inexperience.i installed winff and ffmpeg and searched a bit in this forum.found a few guides but mostly the converted files shows 'unable to play video or audio' in nokia 5800.
Code:
-r 29.97 -vcodec libxvid -vtag XVID -s 400x240 -aspect 16:9 -maxrate 1200k -b 1200k -qmin 3 -qmax 5 -bufsize 4096 -mbd 2 -bf 2 -flags +4mv -trellis -aic -cmp 2 -subcmp 2 -g 300 -acodec libmp3lame -ar 44100 -ab 160k -ac 2 -async1
this is the example of wiff preset command for nokian810(but not working for me).apparently there is no need for -i or output file(and here i get confused from the command lines posted in the forum.

I've recently managed to get upgraded to 10.10, however I'm having a few issues playing audio from Rhythmbox. I've installed Amarok which is working fine, but with Rhythmbox, the track plays, but no audio comes out, however if I skip through the track, say to halfway, the audio suddenly comes back - however it does this for each and every track, or completely skips some tracks with an error symbol next to it - however if I skip back to that track and fast forward through it, it will play. I've also installed Banshee which has exactly the same problem.
I've been messing about reinstalling gstreamer and various other bits and have finally narrowed the problem down to the hardware settings within sound preferences - If I set to Analog Stereo everything works perfectly - but when set to 5.1 just Rhythmbox and Banshee fail - everything else is absolutely fine - system sounds play, flash videos play, Amarok plays - the sound test within sound preferences also works for each speaker. I've been googling around for this problem but can't seem to find a lot of info on this

I used Gpodder to manage my podcast downloads and it works well for my needs. Currently I have been using Rhythmbox to manage the handling of my podcasts in terms of storing and playing. Because I don't have access to radio (I'm in India) I only ever listen to podcasts and I play them randomly throughout the day. My needs are quite simple yet there are a couple of frustrations with Rhythmbox that I'm still looking to improve, so is there an alternative? I've tried Banshee, which isn't much of an improvement on Rhythmbox, and I use Quod Libet for music, so that one is out of the question as I want to keep that exclusively for music, not podcasts. Here are my problems:
- Rhythmbox does not remember whether a track has been played after turning the computer off (or maybe after library has been rescanned). As a consequence I end up hearing the same podcasts. Why does it do this? This is illogical.
- I can't stop Rhythmbox from playing a track that has already been played. This is available in Banshee ('Repeat Off' feature).
- When I remove a track from my library in Rhythmbox (right-hand mouseclick and select 'remove') it is only removed in that session. It comes back when I reboot the computer or rescan the library. Then...
- When I delete a track from my library, it deletes the actual file from my computer. In Foobar I was able to permanently delete the track from my library but not from my computer. Is there a compromise between this issue and the one above?
- In Banshee I cannot change the display of the Browser. It seems to be showing 'Artist' in one window and then 'Album Art', Album. Artist in the window underneath. This is a pointless display for me. Because of the way podcasts are generally labeled the most useful tag to view by is Album.
- In Rhythmbox my favourite display is where the browser displays Album (I can't change it from Artist and Album but I can live with that), and where the library displays Title | Album | Play Count | Date Added. However I can't drag columns like I can in Banshee.
To sum up - I want to permanently delete from the library tracks that have already been played; only play a track once; have the media player remember my preferences after reboot; give priority to Album in the browser; have flexibility in the library to display any column how/where I want. I have tried Banshee and Rhythmbox and need a mix of features that both offer. I'm hoping I've just over-looked some features in either player.

When I have an Audio CD inside my computer in the desktop there is an icon called "Sound disk". When I left click on it Nautilus opens. I would like Rhythmbox to open instead.
I've tried to change in /etc/gnome/defaults.list :
But the problem is still here.
NB: I only need to click once on the icons of the files to open them (I changed the preference of Nautilus).
NB2: I have no problem with "Open with" in the context menu when right clicking.
NB3: I have no problem when I insert an Audio CD: Rhythmbox opens automatically because I selected that option.

I've been enjoying using Rhythmbox to rip a stack of CDs. Initially I had problems getting it to recognise Lame but following uninstalling and reinstalling it, it seemed to be working well. That is, until I looked in my Music folder.
It turns out files have been placed in individual folders, named "number - title.udio" (e.g.: "11 - She Can Do What She Wants.udio". The mp3 file itself is named identically throughout - it's the string for the gstreamer settings, i.e. "x-raw-int,rate=44100,channels=2 ! lame name=enc preset=1002 ! xingmux ! id3v2muxmp3".
The settings within Rhythmbox's properties for folder and file naming are all set to the sensible default. This is a pain. In the short term I'm going to try EasyTAG to sort it out, but ultimately I need to sort this or find alternative software.

I changed the case of one letter ('N' to 'n') in a track name using Rhythmbox and the result is a file which is 7727 bytes smaller than the original (I saved a copy of the original file before editing the track name). The file is in ogg/vorbis format (160 Kb/s). I changed the track name back and the file size didn't change. However, the contents of the file are still drastically different (vastly more changed than merely the letter in the track name).I'm worried that Rhythmbox is doing something dreadful like decoding the file, changing the track name, and then completely re-encoding the file from scratch (meaning it runs the decoded audio through the lossy encoder to regenerate the file). Does anyone know whether or not Rhythmbox is doing this when the user edits the meta data (like the track name, artist, etc.)?

I have several albums in my Rhythmbox library that I originally ripped in 128kbps and have listened to many times. I'd quite like to reimport the songs in higher quality now but don't want to lose the playcounts associated with them.Is there any way to transfer the playcount over to the new file as it were, or to manually edit the playcount or file location?

So I use the following to rip audio from one .mp4 file and then generate one .mp3 file.
Code:
caleb@linux-vmp1:~> ffmpeg -i a -ab 128000 -ar 44100 01.mp3
Obviously, this takes a file named a and makes a file named 01 that is an mp3. It works great and I have used it many times. The problem is, I would like to rip the audio from several files all at once. I am sure there is a way to do it but I haven't stumbled upon the way to do it.

Whenever I plug my Zune in, Rhythmbox recognizes all the songs on it but when I doubleclick on a song to play it, the song doesn't play and Rhythmbox quits. Any suggestions on how to fix it? I'm running a Dell XPS 410 with 4GB RAM and a 1.75 GHz processor.Also, I imported a CD and it plays fine.

I have generated some .eps figure which I needed to show one by one. I converted them using convert file.eps file.jpg but the generated files were kind of blurred (not much, but they are not of the same quality as the .eps files) Is there anything to do to get a good conversion? Also, which is better, is/are there any image viewer package that would help show the .eps files as .jpg files? I have tried, gthumb, gqview, f-spot, image magic (display).

I'm looking for a program that will allow me to remove the vocal from an audio file, and also provide the ability to remove background noise (as much as possible). I have an audio recording for a presentation we did at work recently, but the quality of the recording is not the best and there is quite a bit of background noise. I would like a way to clean up the file and amplify the vocals. I tried to use Audacity for this, but couldn't get it to work. Has anyone used a software program that provides this ability?

I'm trying to extract the audio from an mp4 video file and convert it to mp3 using ffmpeg. The problem is that the resulting audio file is only 3m2s long, whereas the video file is 8m15s long. Anyone know why the audio file is being truncated? Am I doing something wrong? Apart from being truncated the mp3 file plays perfectly. Here's what ffmpeg has to say about the video file:
Code:
Seems stream 1 codec frame rate differs from container frame rate: 59.83 (59834/1000) -> 29.92 (359/12)
Input #0, mov,mp4,m4a,3gp,3g2,mj2, from 'Part1.mp4':
Duration: 00:08:15.60, start: 0.000000, bitrate: 541 kb/s
Stream #0.0(und): Audio: aac, 44100 Hz, stereo, s16
Stream #0.1(und): Video: h264, yuv420p, 1152x720, 29.92 tbr, 29.92 tbn, 59.83 tbc
And here's the command I'm using to extract and convert the audio:
Code:
ffmpeg -i Part1.mp4 -ab 128k Part1.mp3
