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
View 1 RepliesCan someone recommend a good program for editing MP3 files? I need to shorten/fade in/fade out some tracks. Cool Edit Pro does nothing via VirtualBox!
View 4 Replies View Relatedi've recently installed 11.04 and am giving banshee a shot. it seems pretty good although has crashed a few times. but when i import my music folders (about 900GB, 175,000 items .. and growing..) it takes days. that's not such a big problem because it only needs to be indexed once, i assume, ... but the UI is very slow now - so that clicking on an album can take several seconds to bring up the tracklist. also typing into the search box there is a large delay before the matches are shown. is this just to be expected for such a large db? i recall i had google desktop indexing and returning results almost immediately back on winblows.. other ones i have tried include rhythmbox , amarok, songbird .. but have not found any of them to be stable and simple enough to my liking.
can anyone recommend a good player , my essential requirement is a fast and efficient indexing - with tag support would be grand, but just based on filenames is ok too. drag and drop into a play queue like rhthmbox had would be nice.
Can anyone recommend a good and free UML program? I've been googling and the only thing that really caught my attention is Visual Paradigm.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have access to a video stream that is only available in certain areas. I would like to re-broadcast this stream to other users. What method would you suggest? I tried using WebCamStudio but that method basically records my desktop and the video quality degrades to the point of being unable to view it clearly. I've seen some pretty clear re-broadcast streams on justin.tv or ustream, but typically when I ask the operator they're using some type of Windows software. Does anyone have a suggestion for doing this on Ubuntu? Does anyone here do any live streams or re-broadcasts using Ubuntu, or any Linux-based distro?

Rhythmbox is now dead development wise I think aswell.
Exaile looks interesting, and I've heard good things about Clementine (although may be sluggish as its qt4)
Can anyone recommend an easily usable media transfer application? That is, I want to copy audio files from my CDs, compress them if possible, perhaps organize & store them on disk, and transfer the ones I want to listen to to a media player. (Currently a Zen Vision:M).
The basic problem (there seem to be lots of ramifications) I've had with Creative's software and the Windows media player is that there doesn't seem to be any obvious way to sensibly organize the audio: it's all based on "albums", "artists", and "songs", where I listen to audio performances. So what I'd like to do is to copy say the two disks of Macbeth (which I can do, but it goes into about a dozen Track xxx files in a directory for each disk), somehow organize that into a unit that I can simply copy to the player and play from beginning to end. This seems to me to be a very basic sort of function, but nothing I've found will do it, at least in a way that I can discover.
I installed audacity but it doesn't import mp3's. I even reinstalled the version from the packman repository but still no mp3 support. Tried to update it, can't figure out how to get it to play mp3's.
I am just looking for a media player I can open mp3's in, change the pitch and then export again.
I have a file with about 6 .flv files and I wish to batch convert them to libmp3lame. I have tried making a #!bin/bash script with all the files in e.g.
Code:
ffmpeg -i filename.flv -sameq -acodec libmp3lame -f asf filename.mp3
I have inserted all the filenames individually into the script but when I ran it I got too many errors and i was wondering if someone knew a quicker way to do it e.g. a script that would batch convert all .flv files in that folder to .mp3 format.
So I have a php script that is setup to stream flash video (.flv) and I absolutely love having it. The problem is that any files I want to stream have to be in .flv format for it to work properly as .avi and others obviously don't stream well. Up until now, I've used FFMpeg to change the format from .avi to .flv, however the process takes a lot of time if you have a lot of videos, added to that you have to do one file at a time definitely makes it a pain.Does anyone know of a bash script that can take all the files (i.e. avi, .wmv, .mkv, .mpeg4) in one folder and automatically convert it to .flv? Then possibly delete the old files? Low resolution is fine, so long as it at least viewable. Does anyone have a script or know of a program that can do this (I run Ubuntu 10.04). I think FFMpeg has the best chance of doing this, but I don't know the syntax to actually do so.
I've searched the internet, and while I have found a few scripts, they didn't work for me (still looking into two scripts I found.I am currently messing with them to see if I can get them to work).It would be immensely helpful if someone knew of a way to do this.I also forget to mention that I have used Winff, but I was looking more for a bash script to do this so that I can set a cron job to convert them every hour or so.
I have recently been tasked to extract the subtitles from a lot of mkv files. Hundreds of them, maybe even more than a thousand. To do this, I modified a script I found online:
#!/bin/bash
IFS="|"
if test -z $1; then
[Code].....
So in the above example the subtitle is actually in track number one and my script would be borked for that particular file. Is there a way to integrate mkvinfo into the script and parse it to see what track should be extracted? Like, read it line-by-line and change the value of some #TRACKNO variable everytime a string like "| + Track number:" appears, and stop when a string like "| + Track type: subtitles" appears? Maybe even skip doing anything if there aren't any subtitles.
PS: I actually prefer SRT subtitles to ***. If there was some command line tool I could use to convert the resulting *** file to SRT I would be much obliged.
a movie is encoded with AC3 in 6 channel audio, what I get out is all of the sounds except for voices, which in 5.1 would be sent to the center channel. What I usually do is fire up avidemux and convert the audio to mp3 stereo, as converting to a 5.1 format usually ends up with a very odd sound (like running everything through an echo chamber). What I'd like to do is run a script to batch-convert these files from AC3 to MP3. The video format may vary, but they are usually XVID. I am comfortable at the command line, but I am not well-versed in audio/video tool terms. I don't need anything extravagant, I just want something that works. Heck, even if it is done one at a time, having a shell script that I can use to simply type:
tool.sh inputfile.avi outputfile.avi
pacpl and audioKonverter appear to be missing from the Packman and OpenSuse repositories. Does anyone know of something similar that's available?

I have a large (~60GB) collection of music in various formats on my hard drive. It is organised in the form Artist/Album/*.ext
The formats include M4A, FLAC, MP3, and OGG. What I would like to do is convert the entire directory, keeping subfolders and ID3 information intact. I would preferably like to be able to do this with a single script.
I am running Ubuntu 10.10 x86_64. I am fairly adept with BASH and the command line, so I foresee no problems there. If I have to write my own script, these are the things I'm not sure about:
(a) maintaining the directory structure.
(b) how to tell the script which converter tool to use (LAME, FLAC, etc.
(c) keeping ID3 tags.
System - openSUSE 11.2 "Emerald" KDE (with gnome base)
Player - vlc
I'm hoping to find a batch of codecs for my newly installed openSUSE OS. I have a very troublesome collection of .mkv files that took several codec packs to make them work. For a brief explanation, I had tried haali and matroska both together and they still didn't work on certain mkvs. I ended up using CCCP, but that's win only as far as I can tell. It took the latest update of CCCP to work on all of my mkvs.

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.
