Need advice on music management software
Hi all, I have a music collection that's being merged from several computers/devices onto a single one (which doubles as a media center/HTPC). Problem is, I'd like to merge the duplicate files (and there are plenty) but still need to be able to sync between this central system and the other computers (all running Fedora, btw). User 1 has a laptop with Amarok and syncs her music to an iPod (listens on both laptop and iPod) User 2 also uses Amarok, but no external devices User 3 uses a car mp3 player only (wirelessly synced to her laptop using special software...) Everyone wants all the music on the HTPC, though everyone will keep a copy of their own subsection of the collection on their own devices. Nobody expects to sync to the HTPC from anything other than laptops, though iPod integration would be a bonus. Would be nice to listen to music from HTPC, and upon hearing a song I like to quickly mark it to send it to my laptop at the next sync :) Crazy setup, I know Any suggestions? -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

And is there anything that can be done about it? Because it crashes right after the applet loads, and this happens often. Also, sometimes the applet that should be embedded in the page incorrectly opens in a separate small window, then it crashes and takes down all opened Firefox windows with it. I don't know what can be done about this, but the version of Firefox that was provided in the F10 DVD did not crash so often. This began to happen after a few updates, though I can't remember exactly which one. Indeed, I can't even be sure the problem is in Firefox, it might be in some other package it depends on. The fact is that the current version crashes are very frequent, and not only with java applets.

The multiplexed file provides information about when to playback each frame of video in relation to the audio in the file.

In digital audio, the most basic file type is waveform (.wav), where each momentary value of audio is stored, on a 1 for 1 basis. Experiments and calculations can show us that for something we store as quality musical recording we need to sample that momentary value at 44kHz (times per second) or higher so as not to disrupt our digital recording with audio aliases. Since we also seem to enjoy the spatial enhancement produced by stereo or more channels, the file needs to store both left and right information. Finally, we found that if we only store the digital value using a small no of bits per sample, when played back we hear a harsh, chunky sound, rather than the CD like quality of using 16 (or more) bits per sample. The catch with all that is it takes up a lot space. To solve space

Did you tell the vncserver to use a specific width x height ? {make it

Even if it doesn't fit, can't you just scroll the vnc window down and

Re: I'm a newcomer to Fedora 10 Live CD
Pedro, That was a bit harsh for a response, to somebody trying to help - whether or not it resolved your issue. That said, see http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=205360 - it seems to be a common issue with some nVidia cards and the live cd. That was the first result in Google. My laptop, for instance (Intel Graphics) does not require any xorg.conf - and I believe this is an intended goal. Stuff like this should just work without configuration necessary. I checked the Fedora/RH bug tracker, and the first result was: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=473301 . Different hardware (although using 'nv' as well) and sounds like the same issue. I'd suggest searching the bug reports for your exact issue, and if you find it to not be a duplicate, submit a new bug report (attach X logs as well) so that it can be (hopefully) resolved in future releases. I'm glad you found a temporary work-around, there were some others posted in that first link if you'd like to try.

The setting you are seeing lets you decide whether to control the physical driver volume levels or the software generated pulseaudio volume controls. If you mute or turn the alsa master way down, it wont matter how high you turn the pulseaudio mixer, since the alsamixer comes after the pulseaudio one in the audio chain. (also true for the reverse). If you play back a loud audio file, and turn both the pulseaudio source and master up full. Then change to the alsa setting. You can then use the also setting to set up an absolute maximum level that you would want to hear, by adjusting the master. Then you could go back to the pulseaudio setting to adjust the playback to a comfortable setting, and from then on only use the pulseaudio setting. ... * How is sound related to video ? Sound is the sound, video is the picture... The question is too vague to be answerable. In digital format, sound and vision are both represented with digital 1's and 0's. With all video and audio file types, there is a packing together of the audio and video information into the one file. The multiplexed file provides information about when to playback each frame of video in relation to the audio in the file. For example, an mpeg2 (dvd) file might have two frames of video, then 2 of audio, then 1 of video, two audio in an order to achieve a consistent throughput of audio and video data. * Why are there so many files associated with producing sound? In digital audio, the most basic file type is waveform (.wav), where each momentary value of audio is stored, on a 1 for 1 basis. Experiments and calculations can show us that for something we store as quality musical recording we need to sample that momentary value at 44kHz (times per second) or higher so as not to disrupt our digital recording with audio aliases. Since we also seem to enjoy the spatial enhancement produced by stereo or more channels, the file needs to store both left and right information. Finally, we found that if we only store the digital value using a small no of bits per sample, when played back we hear a harsh, chunky

Yes, I tried that. The problem seems to be that the right-scrollbar

You have given me enough information to do some proper research of my own particular questions and do a small write up for my own use. Unfortunately the background digital audio theory comes straight from my electronics and communication engineering degree course (15 years ago), but I guess became common knowledge to me due to interest and continued usage, both for at home and work (where we use audio DSP black boxes to save on needing to supply separate audio mixers, equalizers, volume controls, and audio routing boxes to client jobs). If you are into guitar, you might like to try a program like rakarrack. This provides audio processing functionality similar to what those DSP boxes can do, without the expense; but it does require a pretty decent CPU, and an understanding of the jack audio connection kit.
