Adding Support for Jamendo and Magnatune to Rhythmbox on Linux
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.

Development of Cloud-Based Media Player Using Microsoft Azure Services
eISSN:2600-7920 INTI JOURNAL Vol.1, 2018 (24) Development of Cloud-Based Media Player using Microsoft Azure Services Chong Fong Kim1, Chan Yong Kai 2 and Deshinta Arrova Dewi3 1,2,3 Faculty of Information Technology and Science, INTI International University, Nilai, Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia. Corresponding Author: [email protected] Abstract Playing songs offline consumes internal storage capacity of a device. Besides, playing songs, most of the time is an individual acting as a hobby and many song listeners do not have a common platform to share their hobby with others. By putting it on the cloud, the internal storage capacity can be reduced and the chance to share the common hobby with others is available. This paper aims to present the development of a Cloud-Based Media Player (CBMP) to ease the users in managing their song files and sharing with others. The CBMP utilizes a website as the main controller and connects to the Microsoft Azure Services to host the music database. Two separate sections are created for the user to upload and download their songs as private and share sections. Accordingly, users can choose the favored section they want to access. Not only features to upload and download songs are provided, but the CMBP also provides a search function that enables users to search songs in both different to make a search process faster. Due to latency in the cloud services, the suggested song format for CMBP is.MP3 files. The .MP3 files promote better compression rate than .MP4. Besides, .MP4 has higher latency that makes users waiting longer for processing the songs.

Linux Versions
Linux Versions The Linux "product" is provided in a large number of different versions, known as "distributions," each of which retains the core kernel and GNU tools. Additionally, a variety of common tools (such as KDE, Apache, and Samba) are backed with a collection of additions and service options that meet a particular market niche. Red Hat holds the largest Linux installed base in the US, Novell SUSE Linux in Europe, and TurboLinux (based in Japan) in Asia-Pacific. Mainstream distributions--i.e. commercial applications fully supported by their vendor—have typical license and maintenance fees, just as any other commercial software applications would, while community supported distributions tend to be free to users. Table below lists the best-known Linux distributors, as well as companies that support multiple versions of Linux versions developed by others.
