EasyH10

EasyH10 is an open source project for the development of a software suite for iRiver H10 digital audio players. It creates the database layout for an H10 player, without the need for iRiver Plus or Windows Media Player 10, based on music and playlist files transferred manually (e.g., drag-and-drop ... [More] operation, copy command, rsync utility, etc). EasyH10 is compatible with iriver H10 5GB, 6GB, and 20GB models shipped worldwide as well as various platforms such as Windows 98SE/ME/2000/XP, Linux, MacOS X, and other POSIX-like operating systems.

psynco

PsyncoThe problemIf you, like me, have several mp3 players you might be having issues deciding what music to keep on what player. The mp3 players having different capacity doesn't help. Myself, I got a pmp (a Zen with 16GB of storage), a phone (with 4GB of storage) and a GPS with a leftover 1GB ... [More] SD card. The solutionspsynco helps you. You create dot-files in each folder you want synchronized. You might create a .pmpsync in each folder you want to exist on your pmp and a .gpssync in the folders you want on your GPS. Then you run psynco and it traverses your folders looking for the dotfiles. Each time it finds a dotfile it hardlinks the file into the target directory. Afterward you can synchronize to your device using whatever tool you've got. Use rsync for my usb-storage-based mp3-players and mtpsync for my Zen-thingie. RestrictionsYour target directory needs to be on the filsystem as your sources. If theres a need I might be able to create symbolic links instead - but so far I haven't. There won't be any directory structure in the target directory. Everything will be put into the same directory. As just about every mp3 players uses id3/id3v2 tags to sort out its content I guess this isn't a problem. On linux I found that Easytag is a really brilliant program to sort out your tags. "Screenshots"This command looks through several folder trees and creates a lot of hardlinks in /misc/mm/sync/zen - based on what folders have a file named .pmpsync present. $ psynco --syncfile .pmpsync --src /misc/mm/music --src /misc/mm/podcasts \ --src /misc/mm/audiobooks --target /misc/mm/sync/zen --deleteRoad mapPlease see the RoadMap Is this usefull?Please leave a comment on the relevant blog post. I've got no idea if it is of general value to anyone else. [Less]
