I have a USB disk full of mp3's with the a file structure of Artist/Album Title/Artist - Track Title.mp3 Are there any mass taggers which can apply the folder title to the "Album" field of the individual mp3's?
View 1 RepliesMy music is stored on a NAS on my home network.
I am trying to get Banshee to see my MP3's on the NAS. It looks like Banshee only will support local folders.
So, is a sym link (symbolic link) in a local folder be the solution? If so, what's the syntax? I know the basic form is ln -s <dir 1> <dir 2>.
Ubuntu's file browser sees the folder as 'smb://192.168.1.200/volume_1/level1/level2/level3/MP3's'
I haven't had any success trying to create a sym link to the NAS folder.
Or, am I approaching this totally wrong and can Banshee support the NAS without a sym link?
I own a Creative Zen, and have already successfully used both Rhythmbox and Gnomad to transfer files to it. But the problem is that I can't manage my "files" (not my "songs"). Banshee didn't work, and Exaile is not recognising my Zen (probably I'm missing some libraries or plugins). I've heard Exaile let's me manage the files in my MTP device, is that so?Whenever I transfer any song to my Zen, it is transfered to my /music folder instead of being transfered into an /artist-album or an artist/album folder. It is kind of messy, I want to keep my files organized.
And if I try to move my files manually (from my HD to my device, or within my device) by letting Nautilus automatically mount my Zen as an external device, then it doesn't recognizes the files I've moved.So, is there any workaround for me to manage my files in Zen without making them unrecognizable to it, say, using Rhythmbox? Or is there any other software that allows me to manage my files in such manner?(From what I've googled, it seems that this is a general problem for most of MTP devices, hence the title of the thread.)
Is there a way to autoplay a DVD when a (valid) VIDEO_TS folder is opened? Mos media players play VIDEO_TS folders but you have to start the player first and then select the folder. I am looking for a way so the media player(vlc) starts automaticly to play when I try to open the video_ts folder. A other option could be a right click option: play movie ith vlc (or something) Is this possible?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to batch encode some old mpeg2 vids to x264. After much playing around, I've finally found some settings that work across the board in preserving quality. The good news is the converted vids are about half the size.
I'm using handbrake to do this and with over a thousand clips, converting via the gui would be way too time consuming. Naturally CLI is much faster for something like this. I've found all the flags and arguments to pass to handbrake
So, suppose my vids are in ~/MyVideos. I want to store my converted vids in ~/ConvertedVids. The problem is that there is a whole folder hierarchy after ~/MyVideos that goes several levels deep; I want to preserve this. In handbrake, the output file is a parameter like so:
Code:
handbrake_cli -i input_file -o output_file
I know stripping away the filepath upto ~/MyVideos/ should be trivial with awk. I don't know awk and was wondering if someone here could give me the command I need.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI dual-boot, and in Windows, I use an awesome program for music maintenance called MediaMonkey, which sadly, isn't Open Source, but still awesome nonetheless. Anyway, one of the things it lets you do is sort and import your libraries by practically any format you could find imaginable. I have that program setup to import and store my music in the following format:
G:Tunes<Genre><Album Artist><Album><Track Number> - <Track Artist> - <Track Title>.<Extension>
Is there a way to change the default setups in whatever music program I choose to use? It seems to be the same no matter what program I use if it's a GNOME-based program. I've used Banshee and Rhythmbox, but both only leave me with the following options:
Folder:
Album Artist/Album/
Album Artist/Album Artist - Album/
Album Artist/Album (Year)
Album
Album Artist

I have a folder called VIDEO-TS filled with .vob files and other things. I did it before, but don't remember what I used to make it a regular dvd video. I tried Devede, but when I drag the folder to the app, it says "folder contains non-vob files and can't continue" or something like that.
View 1 Replies View RelatedAnyone aware of a photo-organizer that sorts by folder like picasa does it? Like when you have all your different albums already neatly sorted into different folders Picasa just lists each folder as a separate album, regardless of date and other information. It didn't work in f-spot when I last tried (couple of month ago) and I haven't tried it shotwell and gthumb yet because it isn't mentioned anywhere under their respective features. Also I'm hesitating to download and install both these apps because I have a lot of pictures which take a while to import.
View 1 Replies View RelatedHey does anyone know of a Media Converter that can convert my Music folder to all .ogg
and if not that what about a program that normalizes at the music files?
This question can be found on the Internet and on this forum but either there is no response or the advice is to move the folder to exclude on another path (in case of using a subfolder for ripped/downloaded mp3).
But in my case my music is on a SAN and I access it through CIFS. So every time I delete a file or folder it goes to the Trash, in a folder called #recycle, which Rhythmbox indexes as well. So I have to delete this folder to avoid duplicates...
Is there any configuration in Rhythmbox to exclude a folder?
I only see a configuration for multiple folders in gconf-editor:
/apps/rhythmbox/library_locations

Attempting to leave the world of windows, but apparently I am not understanding some basic Linux concepts. I am thinking that I want to create a public profile to store music and video in, or are the music and video folders in each user already shared to all other users of my system? Not asking for networking this to other computers yet, just the best way to ensure all users can access the same info.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm relatively new to Ubuntu and am just trying to get basic functionality without having to punt back to Windows applications on Wine (such as Irfanview).All I want to do is step through photos (by pressing a key, such as the space bar) to view & then press a keyclick to move the good ones to a separate folder.
This is so fundamental that I must assume there must be software in Ubuntu which can accomplish those two simple tasks (step through a folder and move a file to another folder). Yet, I have The Gimp, GNU Paint, Krita, KSnapshot, XFig, XPaint, etc., and none of them appear to have this basic functionality (which Irfanview has, but on Windows).
What program can view and easily MOVE the photo to a stated directory in a single keystroke? Note: All the programs can "open a file" and "save as" but this is NOT the desired fundamental operation. The fundamental operation is:
- Press a key (spacebar would be nice) to scroll to the next photo in a folder.
- Press another key combination ("control + m" would be nice) to move the photo to a stated folder
- The "index" should NOT be reset (that is, the next spacebar should show the next photograph in the folder, not jump back, perhaps hundreds of photos, to the first photo as The Gimp does, for example, after a save).
- It's ok to set the move-to folder the first time, but it should not ask each and every time which folder as it should be the default for the move command after the first move.
Note: I also tried making the icons in the Nautilus browser huge and then control-click selecting the good ones, but that makes ALL icons at all times huge, and the scroll in Nautilus is atrocious, so, in effect, that was a failure. I need a graphic program that performs this simple task. This is so fundamental of a need (to scroll through and move just the good photos to a stated folder) that I find it hard to believe I can't (yet) find a graphics display program capable of scrolling and moving photos.
In the Windows world where I came from, Irfanview freeware easily renamed a large folder of JPEG photos by EXIF time & date stamps, appending a unique number if the time and date stamps were the same. Is there an equivalent rename-by-EXIF information batch command in Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid? For example, change (based solely on EXIF information): FROM:DSC_0001.JPG TO:20110224_09:34:56am.JPG
View 9 Replies View RelatedThere is a folder in my home titled 'gtk-3.0,' which continues to reappear even after I have deleted it. The reappearance of the folder seems to occur after using lxappearance to change the themes. I will not be participating in the headaches of the switch from gtk2 to gtk3, just as I did not participate in the headaches of the switch from KDE 3 to 4. So the following are my questions;1. Is it possible to permanently delete the gtk-3.0 folder so that it can not ever reappear in my home? (And why is it appearing there anyway? Shouldn't it be hidden with a dot?)2. If I can not prevent this folder from appearing in my home, is there a setting I can use in Wheezy to block gtk3 libs and apps from installation? Presently, the only gtk3 lib or app shown by aptitude search is libcanberra-gtk3-0, but I can't remove it due to notification-daemon dependencies.3. If I switch from all gtk2 apps to all KDE apps will that solve the problem of gtk3 placing a completely unnecessary folder in my home?

View 7 Replies View RelatedI'm using ubuntu server 9.10 for a home build NAS. Everything is working great just have one more thing to figure out. I have Samba set up to access my files and I set up a recycle feature so anything deleted will get moved to a Recycled folder. (I learned this the hard way after hitting delete key by accident while browsing the shares in windows. Lost 100 GB of data)
Now it is for the most part working but the permissions on folders isn't getting set right. If I delete a file in a share I can go to Recycle bin folder and delete the file for good. But if I delete a folder I can not access that folder to delete or restore from the Recycle bin folder. I have to chmod the folder before I can do anything with it. Anything I can change to get folders deleted via windows to have the right permissions when it is moved to the Recycle bin folder?
