    Walking in Light with Christ - Faith, Computing, Diary Articles & tips and tricks on GNU/Linux, FreeBSD, Windows, mobile phone articles, religious related texts http://www.pc-freak.net/blog Adding support for Jamendo and Magnatune to Rhythmbox on Linux Author : admin I'm using rhythmbox to play music on my Debian Linux. Rhythmbox is a good substitute for both audacious and xmms. XMMS is already very obsolete and it often crashes because of some of it's plugins. On the other hand audacious is sometimes having problems on my notebook working with it's alsa plugin or pulseaudio especially if I play something in youtube. With audacious my songs sometimes got stucked for some weird reason. With rhythmbox I have never experienced this kind of issues. Considering the fact that I'm a GNOME user rhythmbox is even more attractive for me. During about 2 years ago I've heard about the Jamendo - community of free, legal and unlimited music published under the Creative Commons licenses. Just about 10 months ago I've also discovered magnatune which is also a radio which allows free listening online of it's whole online catalogue. That's why it was really interesting for me to have this two nice music streaming services directly into my rhythmbox. I was very happy to discover that already a plugin that embeds the Jamendo and Magnatune Support to the Rhytmbox program. To enable Rhythmbox to support Magnatune and Jamendo type in your root terminal: debian:~# apt-get install gmpc-plugins gmpc-plugins-dbg debian:~# apt-get rhythmbox-plugins It's very likely that the rhythmbox-plugins might be already installed on your Linux, anyways I put the command above just in case if for some reason it's not installed.

We are committed to fostering an environment of respect for and responsible use of the intellectual property of others. ACC/WCU are committed to helping members of the community comply with copyright laws by providing resources to help individuals make informed, careful, and situation- sensitive decisions about the lawful and fair use of work created by others. When considering the copying of any original work, determine whether: 1. the work is protected by copyright, 2. the work is available under a license agreement, or 3. whether the intended use qualifies as a fair use, as defined in 17 USC §107. If the intended use is not a fair use, then seek permission from the copyright owner. II. Application This policy applies to all associates, faculty, and students of ACC/WCU. A. Compliance with Copyright Laws ACC/WCU expects all associates, faculty, and students to make a reasonable effort in good faith to comply with copyright laws in their use of copyrighted materials. B. Fair Use of Copyrighted Works ACC/WCU encourage associates, faculty, and students to assess whether the “fair use” exception to the exclusive rights of copyright owners may apply. Before relying on the fair use exception, associates, faculty, and students should educate themselves regarding the limits of fair use and should, in each instance, perform a careful, good faith fair use analysis based on the four factors identified in Section 107 of the federal Copyright Act.

Purpose This policy will define Internet peer-to-peer file sharing and state the policy of Dalton State College (DSC) on this issue. Scope The scope of this policy includes all DSC computing resources. Policy Internet peer-to-peer file sharing applications are frequently used to distribute copyrighted materials such as music, motion pictures, and computer software. Such exchanges are illegal and are not permifted on Dalton State Gollege computers or network. See the standards outlined in the Appropriate Use Policy. DSG Procedures and Sanctions Failure to comply with the appropriate use of these resources threatens the atmosphere for the sharing of information, the free exchange of ideas, and the secure environment for creating and maintaining information property, and subjects one to discipline. Any user of any DSC system found using lT resources for unethical and/or inappropriate practices has violated this policy and is subject to disciplinary proceedings including suspension of DSC privileges, expulsion from school, termination of employment and/or legal action as may be appropriate. Although all users of DSC's lT resources have an expectation of privacy, their right to privacy may be superseded by DSC's requirement to protect the integrity of its lT resources, the rights of all users and the property of DSC and the State.

Many other people helped me during the development and writing process of this thesis with their expert knowledge, support and feedback. I would like to thank all of them. During the development of this extension, I used some libraries of others to simplify my work. I'd specially like to thank the developers of the following openly licensed libraries: (i) Google Gson, a simple and fast JSON serializer and deserializer. 2 (ii) SAX, the Simple API for XML, and its Java version provide an interface for very fast and efficient event based XML parsing. 3 (iii) MySQL Connector/J, an uncomplicated MySQL driver that handles JDBC (Java Database Connectivity) calls to access a MySQL database. 4 1http://www.jukefox.org/ 2http://code.google.com/p/google-gson/ 3http://www.saxproject.org/ 4http://dev.mysql.com/usingmysql/java/ i Abstract Today, people listen to music on their mobile phone or other playback devices. Jukefox is a special music player running on Google's smart phone operating system Android. It's capable of recognizing similarities between multiple songs, albums and artists using data based on a huge music similarity map [1] which classifies songs into a high-dimensional space.
