marympd

This is the re-write of MPD WebAMP. This project is in early development and not yet functional.

webamp2

WebAMP2DescriptionWebAMP2 is a web based framework for controlling music playback on a remote PC. This project is still in early development and currently supports the Music Player Daemon (MPD) backend and a Mozilla XUL based client. The client is implemented as a Firefox extension. ... [More] DependenciesThe only dependencies are python 2.5 on the server, an MPD server to connect to, and Firefox >= 1.5 on the clients. The current release requires that the server be installed on the same PC as MPD, but this will change soon. InstallationTo install, just download a release and decompress it wherever you would to. To start the server, run WebAMP2.py. For example: wget http://webamp2.googlecode.com/files/webamp2_preview_0.1.tar.gz tar xvf webamp2_preview_0.1.tar.gz cd webamp2 python WebAMP2.pyOn the first run, it will take a few minutes to import the database before it is ready. To install the client, first start the server, open firefox, go to http://localhost:8081, and follow the instructions there. Replace localhost with the address of the server if not installing on the same machine. ConfigurationTo edit the configuration, edit global.conf in the webamp2 directory. The default values will most likely be appropriate. [Less]

orpheus

Orpheus is an Eclipse RCP based multi-platform media center software, designed and developed by Digital Alien Software Systems and published under the terms of the MIT/X11 License. HighlightsOrpheus is designed with 4 highlights in mind: usability, modularity, performance, portability. GoalThe ... [More] goal of Orpheus is to provide a multi-platform media center supporting the most well-spread media formats out there, as well as the most common and cutting-edge media management features, in a very versatile and customizable environment. An Innovative DesignIts approach is fairly innovative and mixes legacy and futuristic means of ordering and sorting your media library, as well as dynamic features for automated music generation and playlists' or ambiances' management. Its core is based on the Eclise RCP platform for portability and modularity, and its internal components rely on a Database-oriented and fully scriptable controller to ease the cross-referencing and labeling of your favorite pieces of art. The Tale of OrpheusThe codename of the project comes from the Greek hero Orpheus, mostly renowned for the tale of his failure at saving his beloved Eurydice from the depth of the Underworld, where he managed to charm Hades with his Lyra to earn the right of bringing her back to life. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orpheus [Less]

musiker

Musiker is a PHP/MySQL based AJAX program for displaying the content of an iTunes library. Musiker attempts to near duplicate the iTunes interface in a web browser, allowing for access to a users complete library from a remote location. If you would like to see Musiker in action on a deployed ... [More] server, contact me (Jarvis) via email at musiker@chipersoft.com, on AIM/YIM as ChiperSoft, or I can be found on FreeNode IRC in #wowace. Screenshots: Login ScreenLibrary BrowserNow Playing Library SearchPlaylistsDemonstration Mode Installation and SetupMusiker is still in its initial phases and is only setup for use on Mac OS X. Current deployment method: Install Musiker into its own folder under your Apache server directory. Create a sym-link in the Musiker folder that points to your iTunes Music library, ensuring that Apache has read permission for the music folder. Copy the local_config.default.php file to local_config.php Edit all the variables in the local_config.php file for your installation. MySQL IntegrationMusiker uses MySQL as a database back-end for performing searches and gathering song information. This feature is optional, as MySQL is not included in OSX by default. If you wish to remove this module from the sidebar, open the index.php file and comment out the line 'musiker_mod_search.js', from the $BulkScriptArray. If you do have MySQL installed, see the iTunesLib_Loader.php file comments for information on how to populate your MySQL database. Hard Playlists Module SetupThe Hard Playlists module adds exported playlist xml files from iTunes to the sidebar. The advantage to this is that you do not need a MySQL installation to provide playlists. Create a directory in the Musiker folder to hold your playlists. From iTunes, export (File Menu > Export) the playlists you wish Musiker to display as xml to the directory you made in step one. Open up a saved playlist and search for the "Music Folder" key/value pair. Copy the string into the $ITUNES_PATH_REPLACESTRING variable of your local_config.php. Musiker needs this string to update the location of your audio files. Also check that the $ITUNES_PLAYLIST_FOLDER variable is set to the location of the playlists directory. Musiker should now display your exported playlists in the sidebar. Demonstration Mode SetupDemonstration Mode allows lets you define one user account as a limited access account. This is useful if you wish to show the application without granting unlimited access to your iTunes collection. To activate demo mode, open the local_config.php file and delete the two marked lines at the beginning and end of the Demonstration Mode section, filling in the values for those settings. Make sure that the account you define in $DEMO_ACCOUNT is also listed in the $AUTHENTICATION_DATA array near the beginning of the file. [Less]

mjoo

Mjoo is server software enabling artists to collaborate in composition of music online or in a private network. Mjoo targets semiprofessional musicians with gear at home and aims at providing all necessary tools to aid with a musical production from start to finish. Artists can create, edit and ... [More] publish musical pieces within their internet browser. All parts which make up a single piece of music are stored on the Mjoo server and can be reused and mixed at will. To build musical pieces, artists have access to a variety of composition tools: a sequencer, a piano roll, a hard disk recorder, a sampler, a drum machine, an analogue synthesizer and various standard effect processors like chorus, reverb, echo, distortion. Artists may upload SoundFont patches and samples to enhance their tracks. Artists can publish mixdowns of their tracks on the server, automatically mixed down as either MP3, Ogg Vorbis or FLAC file. Artists can aggregate multiple tracks into Albums. Artists may also publish only parts of their work, such as a set of samples or patches. Multiple artists can work on a single piece of work simultaneously. Changes to the track will be saved back to the server, and published to collaborators within a few seconds. [Less]

xivo

is designed to make it easier to catch your favorite shows on the XM sattelite radio service. You have two options: you can listen to shows on your schedule, or you can press the Record button and tracks will be sorted based on the info tag. XiVo is an XM Direct and XM-PCR control program. It ... [More] sends control signals to your XM Direct or PCR radio to change channels and get information about the currently playing song. This kind of setup (using the XM Direct receiver) is also known as a "Direct PCR". Xivo is not intended for music piracy. All recordings should be conducted within the bounds of fair use, and users are prohibited from sharing recorded files with others. For technical support, CLICK HERE Don't e-mail or use the mailing list for support issues. Discussion GroupSign up for the mailing list at http://groups.google.com/group/xivo. I'd like to use this for technical support and for development discussion. Note: for diagramming, I found a great diagramming program named 'Dia'. I'll post more on that later. Important NoteYou must have the Microsoft .Net Framework 2.0 installed to use this product. Download Here As of Feb 06, 2007, XiVo uses Windows Media Encoder to record scheduled events. You need to download and install Windows Media Encoder from here prior to installing XiVo. Or, if you feel like building your own recording library, create a new class library using WMRecorder as a template. Submit the new library to me in patch form (either by e-mail or via the Issues page) and I'll include it in the next update. Feb 07, 2007: Some users are reporting problems installing their PCR's in Windows Vista. I've made a copy of the drivers here. Just unzip and plug in your PCR. When Windows asks for drivers, point it to where you unzipped your files. If you already have an 'unknown device' placeholder in Device Manager, right-click and choose 'update driver', then point to where you unzipped the drivers. XiVo2GoI am working on a new project: a program to read (and delete) bookmarks on the Samsung Nexus. If I get that working, I will expand it to manage your recording schedule, too. To handle monthly and weekly events, it will create individual one-shot items, up to 1 month in advance or up to the radio's limit of 99 items. This should also work with the Inno and Helix. If you want to help document the file format, please e-mail me and let me add you to the project. You should create a Google account, then e-mail me your Google account name. Source DownloadsI have a ZIPped version of the source available for download here: http://www.compiledreality.com/Download/XiVo_Source_07.03.16a.zip Don't count on t his being updated on a regular basis. The most current source will be in the SVN repository. To get that, click the 'Source' tab at the top of this page. Project StatusThe XiVo project is NOT dead, but development of the main application has halted for now. I've run in to some snags regarding power management and DX, and I am not sure how to resolve that right now. On the X2Go side, thanks to the kind donation of a partly functional Nexus by JHR1001 (the audio is dead, but the logic is good), I can start experimenting with editing the recording schedules. Look for updates soon on that front. Note to downloadersThis is not a "commercial" program; it was designed to fill a temporary need, and it's not in active development. If this product works for you, then I'm pleased. If it does not, I am not able to offer technical support due to restrictions at my current job. If you are a computer programmer and you would like to contribute, please e-mail me, and I can set you up with access. I'd love to see other people involved, and I'd much rather have the product improved and hosted here than to have forks all over the Internet. Thank you for viewing! -Tom [Less]
