This code allows you to play a song with information of the file.

Of course it would be ridiculous to play music one by one file so we have to create playlists:

Open the Terminal (Applications → Accessories → Terminal) and type the following command:

(Find the location of your mp3 files by the command dir, cd, and cd...)
dir : Shows a list of all the files available in that directory
cd folder: Goes to folder directory (Replace folder with the name of a folder that you want to access)
cd.. Goes to previous directory

Example: Your music is located in /home/yourusername/Music so you should type cd /home/yourusername/Music

Then, create a playlist of all songs in this folder:

or create a playlist based on artist(Example abz)

*Tips: Replace abz with the artist name

To play the playlist:

Play it randomly:
*Little shuffle mode (Plays every file once in a random order)

*Big shuffle mode (Plays a random file and then plays another random file. mpg321 will go on until you stop it.)

Ja genau.

Neben all den Konzerten, Veranstaltungen, Clubs, Cafes, Sehenswürdigkeiten,
Attraktionen und Cockfights versuche Ich mich auch noch auf das Studieren zu
konzentrieren; recht intensiv sogar für einen Erasmusstudenten ,
sagt bzw. schimpft man mir nach. Neben dem obligatorischem Hauptprojekt,
welches dem Basisinstitut der HBK ähnelt, habe Ich noch vier andere Kurse;
Video, Animation, architektonisches Zeichnen und Illustration. Obwohl das
Hauptprojekt um Einiges angenehmer als das Basisinstitut der HBK ist, geht
man dort am Ungernsten hin; zwei Professoren auf knapp 20 Studenten aus
allen Studienrichtungen verteilt mit Aufgaben, die nicht einmal die Professoren
so richtig formulieren können. Nach der ersten Aufgabe – einen knapp DinA2
großen Plan des zugeteilten Partners gestalten – befassen wir uns momentan
damit, wie man in zwei 3×3x6m große, lebensechte Kontainer
einen Lebensraum für vier Personen lebenswürdig gestaltet; selbst der
langweiligste Architekturstudent würde wohl nicht mehr als ein Gähnen hervor-
bringen. Aber so mühsam diese obligatorische Veranstaltung auch ist, so erfreu-
licher sind die restlichen Kurse. Der Zeichenkurs findet jede Woche an einem
meist interessanten Ort unter freiem Himmel statt, der Illustrationskurs wird von
einem höchst dynamischen, unterhaltsamen, homosexuellen Katalanen geleitet,
im Animationskurs pendeln wir zwischen eigener Projektarbeit und kontem-
porären Animationsfilmvorführungen und im Videokurs fühle Ich mich wie zu
Hause, da es jetzt der Vierte ist, den Ich in meinem Studium besuche.
Da muss man dann halt hartnäckig sein.

By now, you may have noticed the nifty mp3 player at the top of my blog’s homepage, and perhaps you’re wondering how I managed to embed that into WordPress.

Firstly, that mp3 player is already provided by WordPress! Simply use the following code to embed it into your WordPress posts:

[audio enter-file-url-here]

Replace “enter-file-url-here” with the URL of your MP3 file.

Perhaps now you might be asking, “But I don’t have a site to host my MP3 files!” Well, there are several sites out there that will let you host files and allow hot-linking, such as Hotlink Files, FileDen and many more. But I didn’t want to waste time maintaining another separate file hosting account. So I’ve turned to WordPress itself.

“Wait a minute, my free WordPress account doesn’t allow me to upload MP3 files!”

Here’s where my nifty little “hack” comes in. WordPress blocks file uploading by extension, so you won’t be able to upload any files that end in .mp3. However, the audio player doesn’t check for this! So we can trick WordPress into accepting our MP3 file, and still play it back using the built-in audio player.

Here’s how to do it:

1. Change the extension of your MP3 file. For example, I have a file called “MyMusic.MP3“. I can rename this to “MyMusic.JPG“
2. Now we can upload this file onto WordPress! Since the extension is now .JPG, it passes the checks, and we’re allowed to upload this into our account.
3. Use the audio tag provided above, and replace the file URL with the one that you got after uploading your fake JPG file. It should look something like this: http://yourusername.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/MyMusic.JPG
4. Save your post and test it out! Voila, we’ve managed to use the WordPress audio player to play our own MP3, and it’s stored in our WordPress account as well!

Feel free to share this nifty hack with all your friends that have WordPress accounts!

One of the a lot of aboriginal articles in the agreeable apple is the Sony Walkman. Walkman fabricated its admission in 1979 in Japan. It aswell came to be termed as the Soundabout, Freestyle and Stowaway. The Walkman was the abstraction of Nobutoshi Kihara of Sony.

For accidental assemblage it was a abstruse accident after any accessible announcements. To added advance the artefact a part of the humans the associates of the publicity aggregation went about buses and trains during aiguille hours antic a Walkman. Sony fabricated a concerted accomplishment to abate the adverse impressions of headphones.

Celebrities were presented with sets and magazines glossed over it. Within a ages of the barrage, amtrak promotion code, alone 3,000 units had been awash but thereafter sales best up and Sony had to attempt to accumulate clip with demand.

Initially it was those in mid 20`s that showed absorption but anon the fan abject widened to cover a cantankerous area of society.

Anon a accessory bazaar developed annular the Walkman – headphones and added accessories like the charge to install speakers on the board at home. Special biking accoutrements came into faddy with speakers central it. Trendy vests sported speakers on the shoulders.

The Walkman era drew to a abutting in 1986 with Sony introducing the Discman ushering in the agenda age.

Today there are disposable claimed stereo cassette players priced at $20 address little affinity to their ancestors.

Tulisan ke-1 dari 2 tulisan:

Setelah berkutat sedemikian lama dengan berbagai macam Audio Player maupun Media Player.

Disertai percobaan “padu padan” dan trik menggaet berbagai macam DSP Plugin. Maka sudah waktunya bagi saya memunculkan:

The Best Portable Audio Player in This Planet, XMPlayer+iZotope Ozone MP

1. XMPlayer

XMPlayer dapat didownload di: XMPlay

Jangan kaget jika Audio Player ini bersifat PORTABLE. Tidak masuk ke sistem program di OS PC seperti software lainnya.

Beberapa tahun yang lalu, sejak versi awal XMPlay diluncurkan oleh developernya model begini ini sempat membikin bingung para penggemar Audio termasuk saya.

Tetapi untuk saat kiwari kini program portable malah semakin banyak  para user software yang favorit mempergunakannya.

Oleh karena itu folder player ekstraknya yang bernama “xmp342″ bisa bebas ditempatkan di mana saja..

Dapat di-rename jadi “XMPlay Gue” or “XMPlay [Namamu]” atawa “Miyabi’s XMPlay” terserah selera kegilaan Anda hehehe..

Karena bersifat portable maka “XMPlay-mu” bisa di-clone; maksudnya dicopy ke komputer or lapie lain sesuka Anda.

Arsitektur basis XMPlay ringan banget. Ukurannya hanya 342 kb dalam format zip. Coba bandingkan dengan program lain yang bermega-mega byte..

Sudah ringan tapi fondasi bangunannya kuat, jenius dan multiguna maka hasilnya ya..powerful.

Saran:

- Buatlah pula subfolder kosong “Skins” dan “Plugins”

Karena Skins XMPlay sangat menarik dan silakan dipilih untuk didownload dan lalu ekstrakkan ke folder Skins itu.

Sedang folder “Plugins” dipersiapkan hanya untuk diisi file-file Winamp DSP Plugins termasuk pula file dsp_iZOzone.dll beserta folder Ozone nantinya.

- Buatlah shortcut dari file aplikasi XMPlay dengan cara men-drag atau Send To Desktop atau Object Dock Anda.

- Downloadlah pula file-file penting dari:

Native Input Plugins, Output Plugins, Winamp Input Plugins

Dan file-file plugin lain sesuai keinginan dan kebiasaan Anda. Lalu ekstrakkan ke folder umum “XMPlay” (jangan ke folder Plugins)

- Jika Anda mempunyai program Minilyrics, lakukanlah reinstal dan sesuaikan nama folder XMPlay yang tepat buat program ini tertuju.

Kode Aktivasi MiniLyrics
Name : Kaskus CCPB
Registration Code : T65BM6DL2CA264DT4E

How to get MiniLyrics running with XMPlay:

- Install MiniLyrics and enable the checkbox “Support XMPlay”, then put your XMPlay directory in the text box.
- After installing ML, start up XMPlay
- Go to the Options & Stuff dialog -> DSP
- Add “MiniLyrics for XMPlay” to the DSP list.
- Done!

2. iZotope Ozone MP

Syarat sebelum memakai iZotope Ozone MP adalah Anda harus mempunyai program Winamp dulu yang sudah berjalan baik di komputer Anda.

Kalau sudah punya Winamp yang terpasang maka silakan download iZotope Ozone MP di:

uploading, atau depositfiles, bisa juga dari hotfile

iZotope Ozone MP sebenarnya oleh pabrikan developernya dibuat sebagai DSP Plugin untuk Winamp dan QMP.

Maka di saat setup jangan heran bila program ini tertuju ke Winamp Anda.

3. Setting XMPlayer+iZotope Ozone MP

Langkah 1:

Dengan logika XMPlayer adalah Audio Player Portable maka untuk menggandengnya file plugin tersebut harus dicopy.

Buka folder :\Program Files…\Winamp\Plugins lalu copy file: dsp_iZOzone.dll dan folder Ozone, paste-kan ke folder Plugins XMPlay Anda.

Langkah 2:

Klik kanan skins player XMPlay pilih dan klik “Options and stuff” klik tree “DSP”

Di bawah tulisan Plugins cari box “Winamp DSP wrapper” klik box “Add” maka muncul “Winamp DSP wrapper – no plugin”

Klik box “Config” maka muncul pop up box Winamp DSP wrapper, cari nama “iZotope Ozone” terus bisa Anda “Config” seperti cara setting di bawah.

Sesuaikan Resolution 16, 24 atau 32 bit..apabila ketinggian bitnya, audio tidak akan keluar atau hanya bersuara beg-beg-beg..

Cara setting iZotope Ozone MP:

1. Pastikan semua lagu yang diinginkan sudah masuk daftar playlist.

2. Klik/tekan tombol PRESETS, pilih preset kesukaan Anda>Update>Assign…to>All>OK>Close

Note: karena bersifat copy-an kadang lagu-lagu di playlist tidak masuk assignment list-nya tetapi hal itu sepertinya tidak mengganggu.

Kedua program ini tetap berjalan baik dan semua lagunya tetap terplugin dengan sempurna.

Hello boys and girls. Ieri (1.10.2009) am avut o zi ,,infloritoare”. Am aflat cum se editeaza in CSS. Si ma bucur ca nu e asa de greu. Bineinteles ca invat..si o sa tot invat, pentru ca vor aparea multe alte noutati despre CSS, in viitor. Inca imi storc creierii sa le pricep pe astea vechi. Site-ul se numeste www.w3schools.com si te invata de la A la Z cum sa-ti customizezi singur pagina de web sau blogul personal. Incercati-l ca nu musca. Pentru bloggerii conectati la WordPress e bine de stiut ca interfata se poate schimba dupa ce ti-ai achizitionat cu 15$ CSS Custom Upgrade. Apoi te poti duce frumusel oriunde gasesti teme de blog moca, le dai jos de pe net. Copy /paste CSS in pagina ta la sectiunea edit CSS si poti sa incepi sa modifici coduri.

Pe partea de flash si animatie, am gasit o ,,jucarie” super interesanta intitulata ,,Widgets and Video Live Studio”. Cu acest software iti poti crea singur, playere pentru site-ul sau blogul tau. Iti poti crea widgeturi de tot felul: audio playere, video playere, animatii, galerii 3D si slide-show-uri. Trebuie doar sa intri pe www.kickapps.com si sa-ti creezi un user. Apoi daca iti convine sa dai 29$ pe acest soft, bun, daca nu, il ai moca pe 30 zile. Ceea ce mi se pare incantator. Incercati si va minunati. Iti faci widgetul mult visat, salvezi, copy embed code, paste la tine pe site si gata distractia:).

Si, habéis leído bien. Los usuarios de WordPress ya podemos mostrar el reproductor de Soundcloud en nuestros blogs, algo que hasta ahora no se podía hacer y que nos dejaba en desventaja frente a usuarios de Blogger, por poner un ejemplo.
WordPress ha corregido por fin esta gran “injusticia” y ha llegado a un acuerdo con esa gran plataforma de alojamiento de audio que es Soundcloud.
El proceso para que aparezca el reproductor en el blog es tan sencillo como ir a el track de audio de Souncloud que quieres mostrar y pinchar en la pestaña “share”. A continuación se abre una pequeña ventana en la que aparecerán las diversas platafomas en las que podemos mostrar el reproductor. Elegimos WordPress, y nos saldrá un código que deberemos copiar y luego pegar como texto en el post de nuestro blog. Al publicar dicho post, veremos por fin el tan esperado y deseado audio player de Soundcloud.
Aquí os dejo un ejemplo, gentileza de WordPress, donde se ve perfectamente lo que acabo de explicar:

Una gran noticia que personalmente llevaba esperando mucho tiempo.
Muchas gracias a Soundcloud y WordPress!!!

Foobar2000 0.9.6.8

License : Freeware
Developer : Peter Pawlowski (visit Page)
Download : http://www.foobar2000.org/

Akhir akhir ini Foobar2000 menjadi aplikasi pemutar audio favorit saya, berukuran kecil, membutuhkan rescourse yang rendah, dan yang terpenting suaranya cukup bagus untuk kuping penggemar musik2 underground seperti saya , fitur fiturnya bisa jadi tidak akan ditemukan di aplikasi sejenis seperti scan gain, multitab playlist, converter dll. Aplikasi ini dibawah bendera GPL, jadi anda akan menemukan banyak plug ins dari programmer lain untuk membuat player ini semakin powerfull. penasaran? Check it out

Audio player ini mungkin sedikit susah untuk dikostumisasi, tapi jika anda sudah terbiasa menggunakannya, anda akan mememukan bahwa Foobar2000 adalah salah satu yang terbaik di dunia.

Step By Step
Step 1 (add libary)
Untuk mempermudah mengorganisir dan menemukan file audio sebaiknya, membuat libary dulu caranya klick “libary” – “configure” – “add,” masukkan folder dimana file file audio anda diletakkan, jika suatu saat anda ingin memainkan lagu favorit anda dengan cepat maka klick “libary” – “search” – ketikkan kata kunci anda misalnya saya ingin memainkan Lostprophets – 4-Am Forever maka cukup ketikkan kata kuncinya “forever” atau “4-Am” atau “lostprophets” dan tekan enter untuk memainkannya, hemat waktu kan

Step 2 (Playing)
Button control sangat mudah digunakan, anda bisa mengatur sendiri letak layoutnya di menu “view layout”. Pengaturan equalizer, visualisations-pun cukup mudah di mengerti , ehm jangan lupa mengatur equalizernya untuk mendapatkan hasil yang maksimal.

Step 3 (MultiTab Playlist)
Anda terbiasa menggunakan multitab saat browsing?, Foobar2000 bisa juga seperti itu. Jendela playlist bisa anda tambahkan sebanyak yang anda suka.

Untuk menambahkan playlist baru, klick kanan space playlist yang kosong pilih “add new”, beri nama playlist anda dengan memilih “rename”, jika ingin cepat memainkan lagu tanpa harus memelototi daftar @_@ tekan “ctrl” + “F” dan ketikkan kata kunci lagunya.

Step 4 (Converting Audio)
Jangan salah, Foobar2000 bisa juga lo mengkonversi file audio, pilihan konversi-pun cukup banyak, mulai dari FLAC, MP3, OggVorbis, WAV dan masih banyak lagi, jika dirasa masih kurang bisa ditambahkan plug in tambahan kog ?, untuk melakukan konversi, klick kanan file yang diinginkan dan pilih “convert”,

Ada tiga tab disini
Tab “output”
Pilih button (…) di samping kanan “output format” untuk pengaturan lebih lanjut seperti pengaturan kbps, vbr dan yang lainnya., tentukan tempat penyimpanan di Button (…) Specify Folder. Terakhir klick “ok” dan “save” saya kaget juga dengan kecepatan konversinya,, gile juga hahay.
Anda bisa juga hlo menggabungkan track track yang ingin anda konversi menjadi satu file dengan memilih “merge all track into one file” .
Tab “Processing”
Ehm anda bisa menambahkan replay gain dsini, jadi atur volume-nya sesuai kemauan anda atau tambahkan efek dsp dengan pilihan yang lumayan banyak, ingin menambahkan crossfader atau limitter? Bisaa,,, :p
Tab “other”
Tab ini lumayan advance yaitu pengaturan dither, bit dll.
Bingung? Jika anda bingung cukup klick tab output saja, yang processing sama other g usah lah

Step 5 (Tagging)
Foobar2000, tagging pun jadi lebih mudah,cukup klick kanan file di playlist atau block file2 yang diinginkan jika ingin melakukan multiple tagging dan klick “properties”, edit taggingnya terakhir klick OK.

Step 6 (Skinning)
Bosen dengan skin seperti itu? Ganti saja layoutnya di menu “view” – “layout” – “quick setup”
Atau download skin disini ehm sebelum menginstal skin sebaiknya anda membaca readme yang biasanya sudah diisertakan dalam bundel agar anda tidak bingung

Eh iya ada yang ketinggalan, Foobar2000 bisa digunakan secara portable hlo, pada awal instalasi anda bisa memilih Portable Installation

Windows Media player(WMP) by far the most famous audio video player among common man, thanks to Microsoft for bundling it along with Microsoft Windows. As most of you must already know that WMP is not the idea player for people who like watching wide range of video’s in various formats, also for people who have huge collections of Auido. Below you can find free alternatives to WMP, they are divided into two categories Audio and Video for convenience.

Audio Players:

Media Monkey: The best media player cum organizer that one can get for free, although paid version exists, the free version is more than enough to manage huge libraries of Music. It also features a in built tag editor so edit the Mp3 tags and better organize the music. Sync feature with Ipod’s or in fact any other portable media player is a plus point. The only drawback is it is not open source hence not many customizing options apart from changing of skins and plugins that are available.For any one looking to manage a huge music collection look no further than this. Latest version of Media Monkey can be downloaded here.

J. River Media Jukebox: One more worthy alternative, and almost identical in features to Media Monkey, the only diffrerence is that the Mp3 Tag editor is not as fully featured as media monkey, it also has similar drawbacks as media monkey that is it is not open source. It syncs with most portable audio devices like ipod’s, mobile phones etc. Download J. River Media Jukebox here.

Foobar2000 : By default one of the most dumb players to look at. But dont be fooled by its looks, its the most customizable media player available for free. It plays almost all the audio formats including FLAC. It has various advanced features like replaygain, gapless playback. The drawback is that this audio player is not for common users, its a geek’s favorite audio player. Give it a try, and get it here.

Winamp: Everyone’s favorite audio player after windows media player and probable the most widely known free audio player. Sync’s with alost all the portable devices, wide range of presets and format supports. Also there is very active community support for winamp so expect a galore of plugins. Get winamp here.

Amarok: Last but not the least, and also happens to be my favorite audio player among all the above, with excellent sound reproduction. Wide range of audio format support. The only drawback being its windwos version is still in alpha stage. But for those using linux amarok is the best. Have look at amarok here.

Next post will be five better video players.

The Media Player Classic HomeCinema is an audio and video player with a lot of additional features. The project is based on the original “Media Player Classic” and was created after Gabest, the original author, stopped working on it. Several new features have been integrated in this player, such as:

- An option to remove Tearing
- Translations available in several different languages
- Additional video decoders and in particular H.264 and VC-1 with DXVA support
- Better support for Windows Vista, including a separate release for 64 bits platform
- Support for Vista’s new EVR renderer
- A lot of bug and vulnerability fixes

Modern graphics card offer the possibility to decode partially or completely a video stream using DirectX Video Acceleration (DXVA), in order to reduce CPU usage dramatically. MPC-HC includes an embedded video decoder that uses this technology, to decode H.264 and VC-1 with hardly any CPU time required. Unfortunately the MPC-HC decoder only supports the “bitstream mode” at this stage, which means that only the most recent graphic cards are supported: nVidia series 8(9)xxx for H.264 only and ATI Radeon HD series for H.264 and VC-1 decoding. The latest version includes fixes for some DXVA issues in previous builds…

Baru mencoba nih Foobar2000, langsung jatuh hati deh, soalnya suara yang dihasilkan oleh audio player ini ternyata sangat bagus, jernih, dan murni (jadi kaya air ya ) daripada audio player lainnya yang pernah saya install. Sebelumnya saya pernah menggunakan JetAudio, eh setelah mencoba Foobar200, jadi pindah haluan, he he he.

Mungkin dari segi tampilan, memang masih sederhana, tidak seperti audio/music player lainnya, tapi yang lebih diutamakan dari audio/music player adalah kualitas suaranya kan .

Minilyric juga mendukung Foobar2000 lho. Kalau anda tertarik dan ingin mencoba/mengunduh Foobar2000, silahkan menuju situs aslinya di sini.
