Ubuntu Multimedia :: Creative Zen 16GB - Transferring Album Art?
Jul 20, 2010
I've tried for some time now to get my Zen 16GB working properly with Ubuntu 10.04. I've tried Rhythmbox and this works for mp3s but album art is not transferring. I have latest 0.13 Rhythmbox and now at leat the mp3's go in directories under Music, but the .alb file is put a root and not ar is displayed.
I have tried gnomad2 and the latest (2.9.4?) crashes with 10.04 when reading the Zen. I can't drag and drop in nautilus and the it is connected as gphoto and the tags are not copied over. So, for all you Zen users.. how are you trandfering mp3's (with album art!) over to your Zen's?

I would like Rhythmbox to fetch the album art. I checked the 'cover art' option in the plugin section but it doesn't seem to work.

Is there any way that Banshee would show just one album in album view instead of all of the artist on the same album, Like "Billboarrd top 50" is shown multiple times instead of just once.

I use EasyTAG to edit the tags of my music. I believed I could also use EasyTAG to remove embedded album art, but this is not entirely the case.EasyTAG appears able to remove references to an embedded image so that the image will not appear in audio players and tag editors. However, the image must still exist within the audio file because the file size remains exactly the same. Contrast this with Mp3tag where removing album art also decreases the audio file's size.My question: is this a bug on EasyTAG's part? If so, what Linux program could I use instead?

I use my ubuntu machine as a media player, and I'm using Rhythmbox for music. I still rip my cd's in Windows so when I get them to Linux I delete the cover art in the CD's map since I don't really care about the "coolness" factor .
Anyway, on some of the cd's there is still an album cover,(most of them downloaded from Jamendo) but searching ".jpg" in the music folder doesn't show the cover art. Is there any place where Rhythmbox stores the Album art so I can delete it? I'm using Ubuntu 10.04.

I'm trying to reorganize my files and organize my music on Rhythmbox, but I've run into a really annoying problem. The cover art for one song on a particular album isn't right. All the other songs in the album are displaying properly.
I have the album cover in the same folder that the music is in with the name "Cover.jpg".
I've tried about everything I can think of. I've tried renaming the image file, tried dragging it to the album art area in the player, and I've tried moving it to the Rhythmbox folder under the name "~/.gnome2/rhythmbox/covers/Artist Name - Album Name.jpg" (Of course inserting the correct album name and artist name exactly the way it is shown in Rhythmbox). It will change if I drag and drop it, but once I go back and play the song again, it will revert to the wrong cover art.

I 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!

I've been searching all over google for a way to extract album artwork embedded in id3 tags.
In an ideal world I could do this recursively in my music folder and have it save the artwork as say "cover.jpg" within the album's folder.
Anyone know of a script or program that can do this in either Linux or OSX?

I just migrated to Ubuntu 10.04 from windows and I could not be more satisfied, except for one minor, nitpicky detail. In iTunes I was able to sort my music by "album by year". That is, my music was sorted primarily by artist, then by album year. So each artist had their albums listed in chronological order. My library is meticulously tagged, so every track on every album is tagged with the same YEAR value. Is this possible in Rhythmbox? Is there a plugin or will i have to edit a .conf file (or similar) somewhere? I'm new to Ubuntu, but not afraid of getting my hands a bit dirty, so to speak.

I'm trying to figure out how to change information on audio files. On Rhythmbox, for example, the genre or artist information might be incorrect, or unknown. Thus far i can't find a way to change this info.

The latest version of banshee 2.0.0 which was updated today on my computer has a bug where if you double click on song in your library it will show the wrong album art and the wrong wikipedia article. If you double click a second time it retrieves the correct album art and the correct wikipedia article. If this is the new banshee for Ubuntu 11.04 it's not going to make many people happy.

I knew it is easy to change / add , album art in any mp3 songs by dragging appropriate image file on rythmbox, it is working fine with Rythmbox but when I am playing the same song from another application like VLC,totem the album art is not showing. If I quit rythmbox ,and the song is open again in rythmbox, it sosometime showing the album art but sometime not.It is also not showing in my mobile phone.
After a little bit searching about this I came to know that EasyTag can do this,I have installed EasyTag from software centre but it remains dim with the mp3 files. how to change the album art permanently,so that the album art can see from any software and device like mobile , ipod etc.

I installed gnomad2 on my ubuntu 10.10 system but it won't mount my Creative Zen X-Fi. Ubuntu itself recognizes it but Gnomad2 doesn't. The error message is this...

I installed ubuntu 9.10 last week and it is my ambition to completely switch to this platform at some point. However, I am experiencing some difficulties with the different music players at hand. I currently try to use exaile as my main player. But I can't make it connect to my mp3 player. My player is a Creative Zen X-fi 8GB. Can anyone guide me through the process of making exaile compatible with my zen? As far as I can read from different posts, it should be possible... Another question of mine is the following. Is it possible to edit the artist names in the music library. My problem is that exaile has one entry with the artist name Band of Horses and another with the artist name Band Of Horses. I would like to have these entries as only one entry, but I don't know how to edit the one or the other. Right-clicking doesn't lead to anything...

I have a Creative Xi-Fi sound card. There is a driver installed currently, but unless my sound is at 100%, everything sounds distorted. My first inclination, as a Windows user, would be to update the driver. So, I downloaded the driver from their site in the form of a .tar.gz. I followed the guide here: [URL] But, as soon as I get to the step where I actually compile it (make), I get errors.
Code:
user@user-XFX-Nforce-680i-LT:~/Desktop/XFiDrv_Linux_Public_US_1.00$ sudo make
make -C /lib/modules/2.6.35-22-generic/build M=/home/user/Desktop/XFiDrv_Linux_Public_US_1.00
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.35-22-generic'

I have a creative zen mozaic that I'm trying to get working on ubuntu 10.10. I didn't get it to work on 10.04 but I didn't really try that hard. I conenct the player. It shows up as a disk and I copy over files but they wont be recognized by the player. It say's it's nothing there. If you open it in windows they will show and if you just remve them and copy them back in in windows the player will recognize them. How do I get this to work with ubuntu? This is the only reason to keep windows for me atm.

I'm new to Ubuntu, but have some experience with *NIX (specifically Red Hat and AIX.) I'm not getting any bass out of my 4.1 Logitech THX setup. The surround speakers are operating fine. I know that the bass unit itself is working because I was using it with windows on this computer before I made the switch to Ubuntu. If I run a speaker test from either the sound preferences or the terminal, the speakers work but the bass does not. I ran this command from a terminal to help with the diagnostic effort, but I'm not entirely sure what I'm looking at:
Code:
wget [URL] -O alsa-info.sh && bash alsa-info.sh
Here is the output of the above command: [URL]
I have been searching for an answer to this question for some time now and can't see to find the relevant information anywhere.

Just a quick how-to, to get mic working with Creative Labs SB X-Fi on Ubuntu 10.10 64bit. This is a result of my conversation with a 'friend' I met on #ubuntu on irc.freenode.net, To begin, this is the card we are talking about:
Code:
$lspci | grep audio
05:01.0 Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs SB X-Fi
This card uses "snd-ctxfi" module for the audio output.
And this is how he got the mic to work using alsamixer. I have seen many thread/posts on the internet about this issue.

I own a creative zen and have used it quite well with banshee over the last few years,
I recently upgraded to ubuntu netbook remix 10.10 with banshee 1.8.1 and everytime I connect the player to banshee the Zen freezes (and yes I mean EVERY time)
Thought it might be a Zen problem so ran recovery tool and reinstalled the latest firmware
tried getting Gnomad2 from older versions and tried to get it to work with no success
Read quite a few forums and tried the 1) Plug in Zen 2) Unmount 3) Open Banshee 4) Sync method however during the syncing stage it still freezes..

I own an external usb soundcard: Creative Blaster X-Fi Surround 5.1. After some tweaking around Multimedia Settings, (K)Ubuntu 9.10 successfully detected the card. I can now use it.
However, setting the sound level in KMixer does not work at all - KMixer now only contains a Microphone channel. Using hotkeys, I can still turn volume from 0 to 100%, but that has no effect on the volume produced by the soundcard. The sound card comes with a sound joggle, but turning it left or right has no effect whatsoever on the volume level.
Is there a way to solve either of these issues? p.s. Also, the card came with a Windows app and driver cd.

I just bought a Creative Soundblaster X-fi Surround 5.1 Pro, and I'm having trouble getting it to work with flash or vlc. I hear audio from Amarok (audio player) and DragonPlayer (video player), but when I use vlc or flash it just comes out of my onboard speakers.
Here are two images of my audio setup:

Additional info: Also, when I click the 'test' button for soundblaster on video, i hear sound.
