Simple audio CD player for Gnome

Is there a simple audio CD player for gnome which can get the disk information from any CDDB server like in many other linux distributions?

Ridiculously simple audio editing question for Garage Band

Ok, so this is really a fundamental
question. It concerns editing technique.
In analog mixing, the editor put
the sounds to be saved in the right
places on each of several tracks --
narration, sound effects, lip sync,
music, etc. The tracks were then
all locked together and the mixer
adjusted the volumes to either save
or reject audio information.
A blank master received the information
and that was your final product,
in sync, sprocket by sprocket, with
the video.
My question, then, is, how do you
do it in digital multitrack such as
Garage Band? Are you aiming to have
4 or 5 tracks all level controlled
or do you simple erase unwanted
sound, or what exactly do you do,
in post production? If you are going
to do a voice over, then you have to
do a mix at some point, not just a
cut and paste. What's the philosophy,
if you don't mind my asking?
Thanks,
Ed

Wow... you gave me flashbacks to a movie soundtrack I scored, with separate reels of tape all synced up and whirling away for final mixdown!
To answer your question as best I can in a paragraph or two, digital mixing is unlimited compared to analog. Whereas tape has a physical limit, you can always add another digital track (there are limitations to digital, but they are becoming harder to reach as systems become increasingly powerful). So no need to erase. Editing is also a breeze. Digital tracks are endlessly malleable, with virtually every parameter available for automation.
Sometimes you might mix down to stems or mix everything down to a stereo master (or alternative mixes) for post production. Similarly, in post, they can deal with huge numbers of digital tracks from different sources.
In terms of a professional workflow, Logic is the more typical choice over Garageband, and includes a number of features designed for scoring to picture: variable sample rates, frame rates, etc.
Gain staging in digital recording is different than in analog, and it requires a different approach to achieve excellent sounding results. But the digital workflow is so much more flexible, forgiving, and economical, that it has been the death-knell for the analog workflow. Infinite bussing, routing, mixing, comping, storing, stemming... infinite possibilities, really!

XM to "any playable audio format" converter for Mac - where to find one?

I have one .XM file, it is audio. I want to play it, but I have to convert it to something playable first. Any of you know a converter that works on a Mac?

Chris CA wrote:
How can it be named "sound converter" when it doesn't convert anything?
You mean it doesn't convert your .xm file.
It works and converts many other files.
What is this .xm file? Where did you get it?
See this -> http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/12607/cocomodx

Looking for a simple audio reciever for my Airport Express!

Im looking for a very simple audio receiver.
I dont need a ton of bells and whistles. I just need a small receiver I can plug my Airport Express into, and then some speakers from it.
I dont need multi things like DVD, AUX, TAPE, CD, TV and all of that. I just need one... Dont need AM/FM... just a box to plug to airport express, to some speakers, on/off switch, audio up/down....
I am basically going to put airport expresses all over my house, then find this audio receiver I am describing, hook speakers to it and call it a day.
Does anyone have ideas for this? I have checked the major electronics stores and I am not able to find anything that is this small and subtle.
Any ideas would be great! THANK YOU

I have these for my office

Sound is very good and they look kewl but expensive.

Error while updating default media player for audio files??

Ever since I received a replacement iPod Nano for my original through the AppleCare program, I frequently get the following message while syncing podcasts:
"An error occurred while updating the default player for audio file types. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation."
How can I correct this problem?

In need of a flash/html5/quicktime audio/video media player for a website

Hello everybody,
I'm looking to get some kind of audio/video media player for a website. I would like it to be customizable, and also most likely read a play list from some kind of text file or xml file.
Normally, I would look for some kind of flash media player, but recently the site might be read from Apple mobile devices also, which of course not flash which might be a problem, so I'm also looking into other options such as some kind of QuickTime media player web application or even html5 player.
I do not personally know how to code in flash or HTML 5, so I would be willing to hire someone to help out.
Is HTML 5 for long enough that it would play on most current browsers? I would imagine that HTML 5 might not work on older browsers–is this correct?
I don't know of any QuickTime media players - any links to get me started?
Does anyone know some solutions to this flash / apple issue?

Looks like you are getting a very good lesson in why Flash is the best choice for a Web media player.... plentilful, easily customizable, and is a "right now" solution. Good luck on getting your viewers to download and install the codex need to play an Ogg video!
To add the extra accessabilty for the iPhone etc, use swfobject to provide an alternative video file type... the .mov
Here is an example of a Flash video that plays on the iPhone (well sort of..):
http://www.cidigitalmedia.com/tutorials/qt/play_qt.html
Using swfobject for Flash detection, if the Web browser has the Flash plugin, the Flash .flv video is displayed, if not, the QT, .mov version is displayed.
View the source code for more exact details.
If the Web browser does not have the Flash plugin, alternate content is displayed, which in this case happens to be a QT player, which displays a .mov video. In this case it's just a single video. Now maybe you have a QT player with playlist... but let me tell you.. they are a lot rarer than Flash media players with playlists, xml playlist, etc.... Strong case for Flash here..
But your alt content could just as easily hold a QT media player (with playlist) if such an animal exists.

Vista - how do you make iTunes the default player for audio files?

Having started using iTunes on a new Vista PC, I've found that it defaults back to Windows Media as the default audio file player every time the machine is rebooted.
But worse than that, I cannot find any option to make iTunes the default player for MP3 files - under the Vista settings, the ONLY option offered is Windows Media: there is not even a box to tick for iTunes.
Have others found this? Is there any way around this?
(I thought that Microsoft was legally precluded from making these kind of enforced settings now???)

Although I now seem to have successfully made iTunes the default player for audio files, iTunes has started putting up this message:
"The iTunes Music Library file cannot be saved. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation."
A quick scan of the forum shows this problem has come up quite a few times, but I'm far from clear if there is a definitive answer/solution. I am the administrator for the computer. It sounds worrying that the Library file is not being saved - should I be worried?

ITunes doesn't recognise iPod as the default player for audio files.

A few weeks ago my husband completely re-installed our laptop, without properly looking at how to backup my iPod touch. Everything was lost and I have had to start again, however the system still comes up with this message each time I plug the iPod in:
iTunes has detected this is not the default player for audio files. Would you like to go to the Default Program Control Panel to fix this.
I go to the Control Panel, but have no idea what to do.
Can anyone please help me?
I have not upgraded to version (4.0)
Thanks in advance.

Hello Geordie81,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
Are you sure it wasn't referring to making iTunes the default application for audio files as described in this Apple support document? Worth a shot anyways.

I copied several MOV files to a CD. When I play them from the CD the video is fine but the audio works fine for the first few seconds then stops (using Qicktime Player 7.7.1. Everything works fine if I use VLC Media Player. Does anyone have any idea why?

My purpose for copying to a CD or DVD is so that I can make copies and send to friends and relatives. What is the best way to get these files on a CD/DVD with the right codecs?
The easiest thing to do is to simply tell your friends and relatives to copy the files to their local hard drive before playing them. Your basic problem is that data discs have a limited real time transfer rate. Since you say VLC plays the files fine, I might suspect its player is likely buffering the data while the QT 7 Player is not.
Data discs made for playback directly from the CD or DVD are normally encoded using MPEG-4/AVC (H.264) video with AAC audio. This is a modern codec which has specific settings to re-package the data (i.e., must be encoded using the multipass option and then select the "optimize for CD/DVD" option).

"An error occurred while updating the default player for audio file types"

Getting ready for a deployment of version 9.2 of iTunes for 1400+ users.
Getting this error when a 'normal' user goes into Edit/Preferences of iTunes and makes no changes.
"An error occurred while updating the default player for audio file types. you do not have enough access privileges for this operation."
I've elevated privileges of the C:\program files\itunes directory for this user to Full Control however problem remains.
Tried to modify the folder to remove 'read-only', as found this suggestion on here, but read-only keeps applying itself.
User has full rights to the location of the media as specified under Advanced Tab. If I tick 'Set as default media player' and remove tick and then click OK I do not get the error. From what I've read it's affected older versions of iTunes also.
Doe anyone have any other suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

I had a similar issue. Turned out that - somehow - one of the directories or files in my iTunes music folder had gotten set to read only. Fixing it was easy.
Go to Edit/Preferences.
Choose the Advanced tab
in the General subtab select the contents of the box labeled "iTunes Music folder location"
Click Start, choose Run
Paste the location
Press the button to move up one level
Right-click the music folder, choose Properties
If this is your problem, the read-only box will be a solid color or checked. Set it to empty and choose the default "apply to folder and all subfolders and files." This will set everything in there readable, which after I did so I stopped getting the error.

Upgraded to 10.3.1.55, now can't set iT as default player,"An error occurred when updating the default player for audio files types. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation." How to fix?

After I upgraded iTunes, iTunes doesn't recognize CD in the drive, apparently isn't the default player. It won't let me set iTunes as the default player, I get the error message "An error occurred when updating the default player for audio files types." I tried Whitesides' remedy (changing Read Only status in folder in Windows) but it didn't solve the problem. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Oddly enough. I think I just solved it. It looks like, for some reason, my computer has about 8 different "iTunes music" folders, and I've been saving my music to the wrong one. Neat. Music now imports and plays as it should. Copying things over is going to be so fun tonight!

Unable to locate a default player for iTunes audio files in Windows Vista

I previously owned a Compaq and saved my music in an external storage and worked perfectly. I then purchased a HP with Windows Vista and now am having problems with iTunes. The new computer indicates that iTunes has detected that is not the default player for audio files. It gives me a selection of file extensions, "iTunes music database files", "iTunes music store URL", "M3U Audio Playlist", "MPED4 Audio Files", and others in Windows Media Player. Which one should I select? Thanks
Joe

I created a config file (which is very handy in deployment and debuggin) that contains the class name and other additional parameters that is available in the optionsMap inside the LoginModule.
My Config file looks like :
DatabaseAuthenticate {
com.mahesh.research.jaas.auth.CLoginModule required debug=true database.userid="matest" database.password="matest" database.driver="oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver" database.url="jdbc:oracle:thin:@den-dev-2:1521:trexdev" ;
and i have an entry in the policy file
grant{
permission java.util.PropertyPermission "*" , "read, write" ;
when running the application i specify the following VM Parameter.
-Djava.security.auth.login.config ="file:/D:/Research/Jb6/JaasResearch/config/login.config"
offcourse, the jar files in the classpath.
When i Create a LoginContext and call its login() method, Everything works fine.
you might wanna try this way and very important you need to specify all permission.
if you are running under Security manager , try switcing on the debug option as -Djava.security.debug=access.failure that should give a hint on where the problem is.
hope this helps

No audio (line-out) for some QT and all Real Player

This is strange.
This link, which uses Quicktime, will only play SOUND via my internal speakers: http://www.umeportal.com/player.aspx?fid=393&ftyp=3&pgid=7&hid=13728&fp=qt
While this link will play SOUND via external speakers: http://www.apple.com/getamac/
Same with all the HD trailers: http://www.apple.com/trailers/ The the SOUND plays externally ok.
Here's another one that will ONLY play from internal speakers: http://www6.islandrecords.com/site/promo/quicktime/killersbonesquicktime.html
Real player, will play SOME mov files externally, but most others mp3, mpg, mov, will ONLY play via internal speakers.
Ok, what gives?

Ugh....nevermind.
I removed USB Overdrive and external audio started working for everything.
This is strange becaues I have been using USB overdrive for about a week w/out any issues.
At the time I noticed the problem...I had been using QT to convert mov files to h.264, mpeg4, Sorensen 3 files and for some reason, using the QT export features -- with USB Overdrive installed -- mucked up audio play back. Go figure.

Hey linuxuser,
If you're comfortable enough with the terminal, you may want to check out this sourceforge project. I'm not sure if this what you're looking for or even close to helpful but I couldn't find anything else either. Good Luck!

Looking for an mp3 player for a webpage

because of apple I'm staying away from flash players for now...
I 'm lloking for a simple to use mp3 player that's customizable - for example :
read & display xml playlists
make the list of viewable songs what we choose - like 10 songs or 20 songs - without scroll bars...
I'm lookimg at:
http://www.longtailvideo.com/support/jw-player/jw-player-for-flash-v5
http://www.wimpyplayer.com/products/wimpy_mp3.html
http://playlist.software.informer.com/download-playlist-embedded-website-media-player/
Any opinions are welcome

Here's what I'm doing:
HTML5.
Here is the code and it is really simple:
<audio controls="controls">
<source src="../path/filename.ogg" type="audio/ogg" />
<source src="../path/filename.mp3" type="audio/mpeg" />
Your browser does not support the audio element. <a href="../path/filename.mp3">Right-Click here</a> and choose Save file as… to download the .MP3 file</audio>
Works in all browsers. Works in all media players that support mpeg audio. But here's a word of warning:
Some browsers may not know that the ogg audio is there, so you may need to edit your .htacess file (on Apache) or your filetypes (on Microsoft IIS servers) to include it.
Here's the change to put into .htaccess. I don't use IIS:
AddType audio/ogg .oga
AddType video/ogg .ogv
AddType application/ogg .ogg
AddHandler application-ogg .ogg .ogv .oga
That will enable both ogg video and audio. Without these lines, Firefox may not play your file.
To make your audio files, please see this link.
