(lossless) encoding into mp3.
With the cost of hard drive storage falling under $1 USD per GB,
storing audio in a lossless format is now inexpensive and practical.
The FLAC codec is an OpenSource and Free software of very high
quality. The FLAC format supports meta-info as ID3v1 tags or OGG
comments. FLAC even has plugins for popular audio players such as
XMMS and WinAMP. This script also helps with the generation of MP3
files from FLAC, whilst preserving the tags. This way you can easily
convert an album from FLAC to MP3 for playing on a mobile audio
device. You will need LAME installed and in your $PATH. Using the
script is simple:
* cd /path/to/directory/with/FLACS
* flac2mp3 *flac
After transcoding, you will have matching, tagged MP3 files in the
same directory. Note: Only use this script on flac files that you
trust to have non-malicous tags (ie, ones that you've created
yourself).
module directory has changed (eg. "darwin-2level" vs.
"darwin-thread-multi-2level").
binary packages of perl modules need to be distinguishable between
being built against threaded perl and unthreaded perl, so bump the
PKGREVISION of all perl module packages and introduce
BUILDLINK_RECOMMENDED for perl as perl>=5.8.5nb5 so the correct
dependencies are registered and the binary packages are distinct.

rewrite from scratch using musepack lib
Musepack is an audio compression format with a strong emphasis on
high quality. It's not lossless, but it is designed for transparency,
so that you won't be able to hear differences between the original
wave file and the much smaller MPC file.
It is based on the MPEG-1 Layer-2 / MP2 algorithms, but has rapidly
developed and vastly improved and is now at an advanced stage in
which it contains heavily optimized and patentless code.
1) install patches into separate directories to eliminate pkgsrc conflict
2) leave timidity configuration up to user, with instructions in MESSAGE
3) make timidity read configuration from PKG_SYSCONFDIR
4) bump PKGREVISION on eawpatches, guspatches, and timidity
2.3-mls (12 Aug 2004)
Updated winamp plugin, thanks to K`rai.
2.2-mls (1 May 2004)
Added README.cl-amp (taken from Eli's page).
Added a fflush to nosefart for the benifit of gnosefart.
2.1-mls (23 April 2004)
gnosefart updated to 1.0.
2.0-mls (16 April 2004)
Added gnosefart 0.9, a GTK frontend for nosefart.
Decided to be more confident about my version numbering.
Nosefart now returns 0 if nothing went wrong.
1.92k-mls (4 April 2004)
Fixed a bug in the UI that made it not refresh properly. Improved spec file.
1.92j-mls (21 March 2004)
A few small tweaks to nsfinfo and the interface. Added spec file
for building RPMs.
Csound is a software synthesis package in the tradition of so-called
music-N languages, among which the best-known is Music V. It consists
of an orchestra- and score-driven executable, written in C for
portability. Since Csound is a computational language, it is highly
flexible and efficient; complexity is gained only at the expense of
computation time. Basically Csound reads some files and creates the
result as a file on disk or, on faster machines, through a DAC in real
time.
Icecast 2.1 11/04/2004
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
****New features for 2.1 (in no particular order):****
-Listener Authentication-
Icecast now supports listener authentication. This provides a mechanism for
creating/maintaining users and passwords for listeners. Currently, we only
have implemented a simple, file-based storage for users and passwords. New
authenticators are on the horizon (such as URL-based or possibly MySQL based)
New admin pages were also added for the maintenance of users/passwords. Please
check the docs for a more detailed description of this new feature.
-Multi-Level Fallbacks-
Multi-level fallbacks allow for specifications of a series of fallback mounts
that you could use, for instance, to set up a series of progressively lower
bitrate streams that would be cascaded through. For instance, a modem user
would connect to the highest bitrate stream, and then could be cascaded
down to a progressively lower stream until they reach a value they can
handle.
-Burst-On-Connect-
This is an new, optional config setting which will send a initial burst of
data to connecting listeners. This has the effect of reducing
(significantly) the startup buffer latency from the end-user perspective.
This option is enabled by default.
****New Enhancements for 2.1****
-Update to admin interface-
This interface has been cleaned up quite a bit and made a bit nicer.
-Rewrite of the YP listing code-
The icecast yp code has received a complete overhaul by karl, and it's a much
more stable and failure-resistant implementation.
-Lots and lots of bugs fixed-
Check the ChangeLog for a complete list of these...
