Try googling for mp32wav - I'm not sure if that is the correct name.  But 
you'd need a good reason for doing it!  The wav format can't put back what 
mp3 has taken out.

Do you mean package xmms-diskwriter? In Mandrake 10.1 it is in the main

Anders, if you have your sources setup then:

Heres a little script I use that was posted a long, long time ago here.  
Requires mpg123 installed to work:

mp3file=$*
mkdir wav


for file in $@  ; do
#echo $file
wavfile=`echo $file | sed s/\\.mp3/.wav/`
printf %-50s %-50s\n $file -- $wavfile

# to encode wav--mp3
#lame -h $file $mp3file

No prob, I thought about it some more and it should be as simple as 

normalize -m `find /top/directory/to/recurse -type f -iname '*.wav'`

You should just be able to point to all of your directories from the
command line, such as

normalize -m /path/to/dir1/*.wav /path/to/dir2/*.wav

You might even be able to put all of the directories in a text file and
do something like

normalize -m `cat directorylist`

You might even be able to automatically generate the directory list with
something like

find /path/to/start/looking -type d -mindepth 1 -maxdepth 2  directorylist

(then you'd have to add /*.wav to the end)

Or, just recurse a top level directory to find all the wav's with
something like

find /top/level -type f -iname '*.wav'

and use those results as input to normalize.

Hi David,
I'm replying in the list as you sent the reply only to me, probably by

I've been checking out other mp3 players for some time now (and scanners
and tweaks on wine) to reduce my reasons for having win on my box.  Any
thumbdrive style mp3 player that works as a USB mass storage device
should be OK with linux. Muzio, iops, iriver, are just a few I found
that will work AND have ogg support. This is a must feature for an OSS
geek :-)  I think iriver have the friendliest attitude towards linux,
but their prices have made me wait with getting one.
Next time make sure your posts remain in the list, who knows, someone

[newbie] sigmatel mp3 player

2004-05-27 Per discussione Bill Winegarden
Hi,
I was wondering if there has been progress on mounting these usb mp3 players. 
In that other os mine is identified as sigmatel mscn usb device. A google on 
that term reveals another player using the same systema Transcend 
JetFlash. In their literature they suggest a simple mount command 
from /dev/sda1 is all that's needed. Of course, this is not functional in 
LM10, to my knowledge. I have tried both kernels on the LM10 CE distro. Has 
this been addressed in 'Official'?
Has anyone been successful with this usb mass storage player?

Thanks and regards,
Bill W.

 But from the tenor of your email it would seem
 you're stuck on the mp3-wav conversion.
 
 Sir Robin
 

As usuall, there are always many way of doing the same thing.
I found something similar to this from a debian site i think

[EMAIL PROTECTED] Mail]$ cat /usr/bin/mp32wav
#!/bin/bash
# mp32wav
 BASENAME=${1%%.mp3}
 mpg123 -b 1 -s $BASENAME.mp3 | sox -t raw -r 44100 -s -w -c2 -
$BASENAME.wav

# And the use is:
#
# mp32wav file.mp3

It make a .wav from a .mp3, which would be easily burnt with k3b or whatever

I assume you're using Konqueror as your file manager. It's been in
3.1 AFAIK dunno about 3.0 - it's pretty recent. I'm not sure it was
in 9.0.

It is a cool feature but it's the browswer that gives you that 
ability - gnome had it first btw :). It sometimes gets in the way. And
if you move the mouse the playback may stop.

I noticed one glitch though - in the 3.1 beta releases of KDE one 
was able to hold the mouse over an AVI or other movie file and 
mplayer would pop up the movie. In 9.1 final, doing this only
plays the sound.

[newbie-it] Mp3 e masterizzazione

2000-12-05 Per discussione Alberto Zanoni

Un saluto a tutti,
sono da poco riuscito ad installare xcdroast per Linux, impresa
per me tutt'altro che banale, ma alla fine riuscita. Devo ancora provarlo, ma
sara' il prossimo passo. Vorrei chiedere invede se ci sia un tool per poter
creare un cd audio a partire da files mp3; piu' precisamente, vorrei

- mettere i files mp3 che vorrei registrare in una directory
- convertirli nel formato opportuno (so che se si registrano gli mp3 cosi' come
sono su disco non si possono sentire in un lettore di CD, pero' non so quale
sia questo formato "opportuno")
- registrarli sul CD

C'e' qualche strumento che mi consenta di far questo in ambiente grafico ?

Inoltre, xcdroast, nella versione 0.98, non ha la possibilita' della
multisessione. Che tool posso usare per registrare cd "a pezzi" ?

Un grazie anticipato a chi mi vorra' aiutare.

Re: [newbie] compressing mp3's

2000-10-24 Per discussione Sridhar Dhanapalan

MP3s are already highly compressed files. I think the only solutions are to 
either change to a different format or downgrade the sound quality to create 
a smaller file. The problem with the former is that you need a format that 
most browsers support. I can think of formats that compress better than MP3 
(e.g. ASF, VQF, Ogg Vorbis), but not too many browsers support them like they 
do with MP3.

Have you tried looking into streaming the audio?

Re: [newbie] compressing mp3's

2000-10-24 Per discussione Sridhar Dhanapalan

MP3 files can be streamed only (AFAIK) if the end-user has streaming MP3 
support. This is often done via a browser plugin like Plugger (Linux/Unix) or 
NetTOOB (WinDOS). I think if you need to create streaming RealAudio files you 
need to buy RealPlayer Plus or RealProducer (go to www.real.com). Ogg Vorbis 
(www.vorbis.com) looks really good for your needs. However, it is still under 
development (version 1 is due out soon). Read the site FAQ for details.

The problem with streaming audio is that if the site viewer's bandwidth is 
rather slow (e.g. a dial-up connection), they may just end up with choppy 
sound.

What kind of sound do you intend to send? If it is not too complex, perhaps 
you can put it in MIDI format. MIDI files are *extremely* small and support a 
large range of sounds (nothing like MP3, but you can still make some great 
effects). Look up MIDI composers on Freshmeat or Tucows Linux; I think there 
are quite a few of them around.

 Thanks for that suggestion Sridhar.
 Although I've done a couple of sites for friends etc.  this is the first
 one that needs some form of multimedia.
 How do I steam audio files?  Do I need to save with a speacial file
 extension or will MP3's do the trick with some speacial JavaScript code?
 I've also heard of .ram files for real audio which I think is streamed but
 I don't know how to save .ram files ( I don't use Windows, only Linux).

 Your help will be appreciated.

I don't know if I'm remotely right here but is an AMD4864-133 a pentium
class CPU?  I know MAndrake is compiled for pentium class machines and I
have read that 486 machines can have some difficulties running Mandrake.  If
your CPU isn't pentium class maybe that's causing, or contributing towards
the problem.

This impressed me as well, at first. I wanted to know if the CPU recieved
a heavy load while playing MP3s the song would skip, so I listened to some
MP3s while compiling the kernel at the same time. and you guessed it!
No skipping, the playback was uninterrupted. This is what I call a REAL
multitasking OS.

Re: [newbie] Need mp3 info

1999-03-29 Per discussione Ken

I use to have a Cyrix 5x86-120.  It's basically a suped up 486 running at
120mhz.  It plays MP3's fine in Win98 from a fresh boot.  But that's all it
can do.  If I play a song I can't do anything else or it'll start to skip.
Playing the songs in mono was okay but everything else is sllw.  and
you can only do one thing at time.  At 100mhz, it plays mono, but stereo it
skips like hell.  486-120 may be the minimum but I'd go with a Pentium-100
at least.  

This brings up another question regarding a comp in your car to use as a
MP3 player.  I was thinking about doing the same thing with my old
computers but how do you prevent the computer from just turning off while
it's running when you shut off your engine?  Turning off the computer when
it's doing something is not a good idea.  And you also have to wait till
the computer boots up before you can do anything.  Booting up takes
anywhere from 30secs to a couple of minutes.  So anytime you park the car,
and then start the engine again you have to go through the entire boot up
sequence.  Does linux let you do "suspend to harddrive/instant on"?  which
allows you to have the computer instantly turn on without booting.  It also
turns off with the computer with one button and saves where you left off?
Some modern desktops and laptops have this feature which is tied in with
the motherboard.

That's the only way I can see how this would be viable.  I know that if I
shut down Linux or Win98, while it's doing something, it scans the HD the
next time it boots up and reports lost chains and errors etc.  This also
adds to the amount of time it takes to boot up.  This isn't very good for
the HD either.
