Ogg vorbis and streaming

I have several questions, any help is greatly appriciated,
1) I have been looking recently into the Ogg vorbis audio encoder, and i wondered if anyone had come across a java based version of this encoder, there are no licencing problems as it is free, unlike mp3.
2) Does anyone have any examples of how to stream audio files via the internet, i have found some examples that stream midi files and this seems relativly straight forward, but i cant seem to find anything on streaming other file formats such as .wav or .aiff
any help on either of the above would be great!
Thanks alot
Pauly

Hello,
I am also looking for a java ogg encoder.
Did you find a java example???
Thanks.

  • Ogg Vorbis and PalmOS

    Just got a PalmOne Tungsten T5. It comes with realplayer to play some MP3s but... I want to play some Oggs.
    I can't find a free palmos app (brand new at this) to play ogg files. Any ideas? Also how to install them from Linux?
    Thanks. Sorry for the total newbie sounding post, but that's what I am.

    I found aeroplayer: http://www.aerodrome.us/ but I don't know how to install it (palm doesn't have pacman!!!!).
    The zip file includes some files named .prc. Can I just copy these to the palm, or are they installers? If just copy, how to install?
    I haven't got the sucker to sync yet; I'm using USB mass driver mode to copy files. This is good enough for me IF I can install software that way...
    Thanks!

  • How to listen to ogg vorbis streaming files (radio)?

    On iTunes, I can listen to ogg vorbis non-streaming files. Is it possible to listen to ogg vorbis streaming files (radio) on iTunes? And if it is, how can I do it?

    I'm a big fan of 8-bit (and game music in general), and love the stream at kohina.com. They only hag ogg streams as well, and I had the same predicament. I pressed my luck and tried opening the stream in QuickTime (I also have Perian installed).
    Lo! 8-bit glory!
    Not the best solution, but it works! As a side note, the stream initially appears to be only seconds long, but the player head will keep scrolling back as it nears the right side. Sometimes it actually does reach the end though, and this stops playback. A workaround for this is to set the movie to loop.
    Hope that helps!

  • Front Row not playing ogg vorbis

    Hi!
    I installed the OGG vorbis Quicktime components from www.xiph.org and iTunes plays these files perfectly. However, when I want to use Front Row to listen to them, I only get the message that the file cannot be played.
    Can anyone help me with that?
    Thanks in advance

    I have the same problem. I'm not sure if I had this same problem in 10.4.x, or if it came with Leopard ... (I just upgraded.)
    Too bad Apple doesn't include OGG/Vorbis and FLAC to the list of officially supported formats, what do they have to loose?

  • Encoding Shoutcast mp3 streams with ogg vorbis

    Hello friends,
    I am somehow newbie to java and javasound.
    Also i have intermediate English language skills, so please have some understanding.
    I would like to create a java based project which part of it would be functionality similar to streamripper (http://streamripper.sourceforge.net/)
    The biggest problem seems to be license fees for mp3 encoding.
    I wonder if its possible to use mp3spi for decoding shoutcast streams and some ogg vorbis based encoder to save the stream into hard disk, splitting the files according to id3 tags.
    Mp3 patents still apply?
    Can be implemented with existing java technology? vorbisspi + mp3spi + Tritonus Ogg Vorbis Encoder + other?
    Greetings

    You might want to take a look at jicyshout
    http://sourceforge.net/projects/jicyshout
    It's basically an dead project that helps jmf read a Shoutcast stream. From there It's up to you how you want to save the stream. You might want to use an Effect to capture the stream in mp3 format and use the meta data listener in jicyshout to split it by song. There are bugs in it but it should give you a start.

  • Are there any Java Ogg Vorbis API's or examples

    I'm currently involved in a project where in we need to record the audio from a mic encode with vorbis, then put it in Ogg container, and then make it as RTP packet and transmit over Darwin Streaming Server.
    Till now we were using JMF with available codec's, since JMF handles the RTP part life was pretty much easy using it. Now we want to use Ogg Vorbis because of its adv's.
    So in this process my first step would be to capture audio and compress it with vorbis. My search for the appropriate API was not successful as I could only find Decoder(Jorbis) in Java but not the encoders.
    I've downloaded the libvorbis and libogg but the code examples were in "C" language.
    Are there any resources in Java(API,examples) which would do help me in achieving this.

    Hello,
    I would like to know if you found the java ogg encoder example.
    I would be very gratefull if you coud share it with me.
    Thanks.

  • OGG Vorbis in iTunes 10?

    Use a conversion program and convert them to an iTunes-compatible format such as AAC.
    Even if you find a plug-in (similar to what Xiph does for FLAC) they will play in iTunes but will not sync to an iPod, which defeats the main purpose of iTunes.

  • Ogg Vorbis Support itunes & ipod

    Hi,
    With the potential problems round the corner that may appear with the Alcatel MP3 "patent" isn't it time Apple re-consider adding Ogg Vorbis support to iTunes and the iPod?
    As a totally free format which outperforms MP3 on both file size and quality I don't understand why Apple hasn't added this already. iTunes with Ogg and AAC support would be awesome.
    At the very least it would enable Apple to drop MP3 in future if need be.
    Does anyone else agree?

    Tim.

  • Ogg Vorbis Controller (MMF-plugin) for S60 v3/v3.1

    Hi.
    Can I expect Nokia to add the capability to decode Ogg Vorbis files in a later firmware update for my 6110 Navigator?
    Or, if this isn't the case, is at all possible for a 3rd party to write such a plugin which would be useable with the built-in music-player?
    Thanks,
    Dag B

    Morena,
    I've just bought a Nokia 6234 - my first music phone - and I'm surprised and disappointed it doesn't support ogg vorbis. Every other music appliance or replay software I've acquired in the last three years has, either natively or via a plugin.
    Given the growth in popularity of this format I would trust there'll be some way of introducing it in the future, either in a firmware update or via a third-party plugin.
    Pout.

  • OGG Vorbis

    Hello all,
    About six years ago I ripped my 250+ CD collection using Ogg Vorbis. I had various reasons for doing this, but the most important was that Vorbis was the only codec at the time that could reliably play my gapless mixes perfectly. Playing Sasha and John Digweed's Northern Exposure on pre-gapless iTunes or mp3 is a pretty horrible experience.
    Anyway, the upshot is that I now have an iPod touch, iTunes on Mac and Windows and hundreds of albums in Vorbis format that don't work (and holding me back from fully embracing iTunes and the iPod).
    I have a couple of questions:
    1. Is there a plugin for iTunes on the Mac that will let me add Vorbis files to my library and play them in iTunes and in front row?
    2. Is there a plugin for iTunes (or a nice third party app) that will intercept my Vorbis files and do a reasonable job of re-encoding them for iTunes/iPod playback?
    3. Does anyone know why doesn't Apple support Vorbis on modern iPods in the same manner mp3 files are supported?
    I know Apple used to claim that the processor power of an iPod wasn't enough for Vorbis, but that hasn't been the case for a long time. I really like Vorbis, not least of all from an idealogical standpoint, and I've kind of shunned Apple for not supporting it all of these years (the iPod touch was a gift). As a buyer of high-ish-end hi-fi and a person who gets asked for opinions on such matters by friends and family, that probably translates in to quite a few lost sales. It just seems strange to leave it out.
    Thanks for any help!
    Adrian

  • Ogg/vorbis support?

    I have traditionally been a linux user, but recently bought a mac. I also was given (another) ipod as a gift, so I am trying to actually use it. Unfortunately, my entire music collection is ripped as ogg/vorbis files. While I can rerip them or play them on my laptop with XiphQT (http://xiph.org/quicktime/), it is frustrating not to be able to play them on my ipod. Are there any plans to add ogg/vorbis support officially? If not, are there published SDKs that would allow outside developers to add additional formats to the ipods?

    if you search with google/whatever you will find plenty about linux/ov for the ipod, but afaik not for the 2nd/3rd generation nano
    people have asked for support for this, and other formats, since the very first ipod, it hasn't happened so far
    apple might do it one day, but personally i doubt it
    there's no generally available apple sdk that would allow you to do this

  • OGG Vorbis supp

    OGG Vorbis audio format support is a feature that lot of people are trying to find in a hard-disk based player (see www.hydrogenaudio.org).
    iPod have no OGG support, and I think iRi'ver, mPio and Neuros are the only brands that can fight with Apple because their players supports more audio formats than iPod (including OGG Vorbis).
    So, does Creative will add this feature in a future?.
    For the Creative guys: OGG Vorbis is a patent free audio codec much better than MP3 (I know you know it) so... why not implement this easy feature and make us happy?
    Alex.
    P.D: sorry for my english: I'm Spanish and here in Europe the Neuros is hard to find so, if Creative adds OGG support to the Muvo or Zen players, I (and lot of audiophile geeks) will buy a Creative.

    OK. I know my needs can differ from the others, but I find incredible that there're still people that don't buy a good player because it takes 0? seconds to boot.
    You can't wait 0 seconds? You're so hurry? Really? Hum...
    What computer do you have at home? How long it takes to boot?... This will be very annoying to you, isn't it's

  • Facebook and streaming audio issues

    I like using Facebook and stream audio from my favorite radio stations!  However, I am running into adobe flash upgrade issues!!!!  I can bring up Facebook but I can't run certain programs within it.  I can bring up my favorite radio stations but won't let me stream audio!!!!  Any solutions?

    What exactly are your issues?
    I had an issue where every image found on the blog template was showing up instead of the actual image that represented the blog post. My fix was to make sure of the following:
    1. Blog image needs to be small in file size. Many bloggers post images that came straight off their camera and I found that the share tools will grab the most accessbile and light-weight files first. If the image is too big then it won't grab it at all. The share tool grabs the smallest and fastest loading, top-most in the code image first, which means the images found on the template of the blog.
    This issue occurs at WordPress too, so it is not restricted to BC but rather the tools provided to share.
    2. Try to avoid putting the image inbetween <p></p>'s, when I pulled mine out of the the paragraph format, they were found quicker.
    3. Avoid having the image lead off the blog post list before the bodypreview, if you can at all just show the image on within post detail page if you can. I know that having an image in the list helps, but then just put the whole blog in the list, like WP does. Problem here is that most share tools on the list have a problem diciphering what to share, so it shares the whole page, giving everthing a share count. WP does this better. They isolate the independent listings and provide isolated share tools for each list.
    Wait a week and the technology will change again.
    Good news is that the element that Facebook offers to share a page on the web will be featuring the option to upload an image to accompanying the sharing of the post. You can see this happening at Facebook already when you drop in the link of the post into a news feed.
    I hope this helps.

  • Can I use airport express to extend my network AND stream iTunes???

    I have an airport extreme connected to the cable modem and sending a signal out to my home network. I also have a powerbook and an airport express connected to the home stereo.
    My question is, can i use the express to extend my extreme signal (to reach the back yard) and stream music from itunes at the same time? The set up utility seems to suggest that you do one or the other.
    Thanks!

    Are you sure you configured the Express to extend the Extreme's network? If you use the standard setup, the two base stations will be indistinguishable, i.e. you'll only see one entry for the wireless network.
    If you were connected to the Extreme when you configured the Express, try turning off Airport in the Airport menu and then turning it back on. The computer should pick up the stronger signal at that point.
