See https://quodlibet.readthedocs.org/en/latest for the latest documentation. Quod Libet is a GTK+-based audio player written in Python, using the Mutagen tagging library. It’s designed around the idea that you know how to organize your music better than we do. It lets you make playlists based on regular expressions (don’t worry, regular searches work too). It lets you display and edit any tags you want in the file, for all the file formats it supports. Unlike some, Quod Libet will scale to libraries with tens of thousands of songs. It also supports most of the features you’d expect from a modern media player: Unicode support, advanced tag editing, Replay Gain, podcasts & internet radio, album art support and all major audio formats - see the screenshots. Ex Falso is a program that uses the same tag editing back-end as Quod Libet, but isn’t connected to an audio player. If you’re perfectly happy with your favorite player and just want something that can handle tagging, Ex Falso is for you.

The following steps show roughly what is needed. • Get OS X running. It is possible to run it in VirtualBox. • If you’re using VBox install the sound driver. • Install XCode (check the OS X requirements.. you might need an older version) • Install git. • Get jhbuild running. • Add ~/.local/bin to PATH • jhbuild bootstrap • jhbuild build meta-gtk-osx-bootstrap • jhbuild build meta-gtk-osx-core • jhbuild build pygtk • Build/install mutagen. • There is currently no pygst available in jhbuild, but you can patch in the experimental NSSound backend. • Change QL config to macbe backend. • jhbuild shell • python quodlibet.py • The quartz theme is not really usable, so you might want to: * jhbuild build meta-gtk-osx-themes * copy clealooks gtkrc to .gtkrc-2.0 Note: There exists a newer version of this page and the content below may be outdated. See https://quodlibet.readthedocs.org/en/latest for the latest documentation. 8 Chapter 1. Table of Contents Ex Falso / Quod Libet, Release 2.6.3 1.3 Requirements 1.3.1 Core Dependencies Quod Libet depends on the Python runtime and associated libraries. • Python (>= 2.6): http://www.python.org • PyGTK (>= 2.16): http://www.pygtk.org • PyGSt (>= 0.10.1): http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/ or xine-lib (>= 1.1): http://www.xine-project.org/ • Mutagen (>= 1.14): https://mutagen.readthedocs.org/ Particular audio formats depend on various GStreamer decoding elements, as well as other Python modules. GStreamer splits their downlads into ‘’good’‘, ‘’bad’‘, ‘’ugly’‘, and ‘’ffmpeg’‘ packages, each of which contains elements; you probably want them all. 1.3.2 Additional Features Audio Feed support depends on HTTP support and Universal Feed Parser. Many parts of Quod Libet benefit from D-Bus and its Python bindings. iPod support depends on libgpod and its Python bindings. Device support depends on UDisks 1. 1.3.3 Plugins Part of Quod Libet’s strength is in its rich array of plugins to extend the base functionality and interface with other systems. Some of these depend on libraries of their own. If you don’t have these, the plugin manager will catch these errors and disable the plugin to avoid errors in QL itself, and present them in the plugins error section. Once you’ve installed the libraries, the plugins should work as expected. Some notable examples: • The auto library update plugin depends on pynotify • Zeitgeist plugin depends on the python zeitgeist bindings Note: There exists a newer version of this page and the content below may be outdated. See https://quodlibet.readthedocs.org/en/latest for the latest documentation. 1.4 Features 1.4.1 Audio Playback • Multiple audio back-ends (GStreamer, xine-lib) • Replay Gain support • Auto-selects between ‘track’ and ‘album’ mode based on current view and play order • Applies clipping prevention whenever available 1.3. Requirements 9 Ex Falso / Quod Libet, Release 2.6.3 • Configurable default (fallback) and pre-amp values to suit any audio setup • Multimedia key support • Real shuffle mode, that plays the whole playlist before repeating • Weighted (by rating) random playback • Proper ‘Previous’ support in shuffle mode • A play queue • Bookmarks within files (or playlists, with a plugin) 1.4.2 Editing Tags • Full Unicode support • Make changes to many files at once • Make changes across all supported file formats • Tag files based on their filenames with configurable formats • Rename files based on their tags • No ugly %a, %t patterns - more readable <artist>, <title> instead • Fast track renumbering • See full instructions at Editing Tags 1.4.3 Audio Library • Watch directories and automatically add/remove new music • Hide songs on removable devices that may not always be there • Save song ratings and play counts • Lyrics downloading and saving • Internet Radio (“Shoutcast”) support • Audio Feeds (“Podcast”) support 1.4.4 User Interface • Simple user interface to Just Play Music if you want • Useful as a small window or maximized, no feeling cramped or wasted space • Album cover display • Full player control from a tray icon • Recognize and display many uncommon tags, as well as any others you want.

ANTIQUITIES OF QUODLIBET—MICHAEL GRANT'S TANYARD DESTROYED BY THE CANAL—CONSEQUENCES OF THIS EVENT—TWO DISTINGUISHED INDIVIDUALS TAKE UP THEIR RESIDENCE IN THE BOROUGH—ESTABLISHMENT OF THE PATRIOTIC COPPERPLATE BANK— CIRCUMSTANCES WHICH LED TO AND FOLLOWED THAT MEASURE— MICHAEL GRANT'S OBJECTIONS TO IT. It was at the close of the year 1833, or rather, I should say, at the opening of the following spring, that our Borough of Quodlibet took that sudden leap to greatness which has, of late, caused it to be so much talked about. Our folks are accustomed to set this down to the Removal of the Deposits. Indeed, until that famous event, Quodlibet was, as one might say in common parlance, a place not worth talking about—it might hardly be remarked upon the maps. But since that date, verily, like Jeshurun, it has waxed fat. It has thus come to pass that "The Removal" is a great epoch in our annals—our Hegira—the A. U. C. of all Quodlibetarians. Michael Grant, a long time ago—that is to say, full twenty years—had a tanyard on Rumblebottom Creek, occupying the very ground which is now covered by the canal basin. Even as far back as that day he had laid up, out of the earnings of his trade, a snug sum of money, which sufficed to purchase the farm where he now lives at the foot of the Hogback. Quodlibet, or that which now is Quodlibet, was then as nothing. Michael's dwelling house and tanyard, Abel Brawn's blacksmith-shop, Christy M'Curdy's mill, and my school-house, made up the sum-total of the settlement.

Loudness Normalization In The Age Of Portable Media Players Martin Wolters1, Harald Mundt1, and Jeffrey Riedmiller2 1 Dolby Germany GmbH, Nuremberg, Germany [email protected], [email protected] 2 Dolby Laboratories Inc., San Francisco, CA, USA [email protected] ABSTRACT In recent years, the increasing popularity of portable media devices among consumers has created new and unique audio challenges for content creators, distributors as well as device manufacturers. Many of the latest devices are capable of supporting a broad range of content types and media formats including those often associated with high quality (wider dynamic-range) experiences such as HDTV, Blu-ray or DVD. However, portable media devices are generally challenged in terms of maintaining consistent loudness and intelligibility across varying media and content types on either their internal speaker(s) and/or headphone outputs.

  • “Copies Without Originals”: Manipulation, Mediation, and Mediatization in Performance and Recording Practices
    \Copies Without Originals": Manipulation, Mediation, and Mediatization in Performance and Recording Practices by Alyssa Michaud Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the M.A. degree in Musicology School of Music Faculty of Arts University of Ottawa c Alyssa Michaud, Ottawa, Canada, 2012 Abstract This thesis examines case studies and historical accounts taken from different periods of the history of recording technology, and addresses questions concerning the impact of mediatization, manipulation, and mediation on listeners' and performers' approaches to music. The project considers the development of the idea of \copies without orig- inals," and of the ideological frameworks that have been used to describe and classify recorded sound. The first case study covers the early days of the phonograph and its de- velopment in Victorian society, then contrasts the values and motivations of those early years with modern-day rock performance and its own value systems. Moving into the mid-twentieth-century, a chapter of this thesis is devoted to the work of Glenn Gould, and the possibilities for tape manipulation that the Canadian pianist explored during the period of his career that was focused on the recording studio. Lastly, this project examines the innovative, user-driven methods of music-making that are gaining momen- tum today, including Bj¨ork's Biophilia app album, and the emergence of a new genre of popular music in Asia that uses vocal synthesizers in place of live performers. By exploring these case studies alongside the works of scholars in musicology, media studies, sound theory, film and television, and popular music studies, this thesis demonstrates how cultural need, individual innovation, and social involvement interact to direct the development and application of emerging media technologies.

    Know-howWissen, wie’s für geht. Kreative. Leseprobe In dieser Leseprobe erhalten Sie einen Einstieg in die Linux-Welt und erfahren, wie Sie Audio und Video unter Linux nutzen. Dar- über hinaus lernen Sie die Kommandozentrale kennen: die Shell. Außerdem können Sie einen Blick in das vollständige Inhalts- und Stichwortverzeichnis des Buches werfen. »Was ist Linux?« »Installationsgrundlagen« »Audio und Video« »Die Shell« »Software- und Paketverwaltung« Inhaltsverzeichnis Index Der Autor Leseprobe weiterempfehlen Michael Kofler Linux – Das umfassende Handbuch 1.430 Seiten, gebunden, mit CD, 14. Auflage 2015 49,90 Euro, ISBN 978-3-8362-3775-8 www.rheinwerk-verlag.de/3855 “buch” — 2015/11/5 — 21:54 — page 25 — #19 1 Kapitel 1 Was ist Linux? Um die einleitende Frage zu beantworten, erkläre ich in diesem Kapitel zuerst einige wichtige Begriffe, die im gesamten Buch immer wieder verwendet werden: Betriebs- system, Unix, Distribution, Kernel etc. Ein knapper Überblick über die Merkmale von Linux und die verfügbaren Programme macht deutlich, wie weit die Anwendungs- möglichkeiten von Linux reichen. Es folgt ein kurzer Ausflug in die Geschichte von Linux: Sie erfahren, wie Linux entstanden ist und auf welchen Komponenten es basiert. Von zentraler Bedeutung ist dabei natürlich die General Public License (kurz GPL), die angibt, unter welchen Bedingungen Linux weitergegeben werden darf. Erst die GPL macht Linux zu einem freien System, wobei »frei« mehr heißt als einfach »kostenlos«. 1.1 Einführung Linux ist ein Unix-ähnliches Betriebssystem. Der wichtigste Unterschied gegenüber historischen Unix-Systemen besteht darin, dass Linux zusammen mit dem vollstän- digen Quellcode frei kopiert werden darf. Ein Betriebssystem ist ein Bündel von Programmen, mit denen die grundlegend- Betriebssystem sten Funktionen eines Rechners realisiert werden: die Schnittstelle zwischen Mensch und Maschine (also konkret: die Verwaltung von Tastatur, Bildschirm etc.) und die Verwaltung der Systemressourcen (CPU-Zeit, Speicher etc.).

Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Austin in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Texas at Austin May 2011 Acknowledgements I want to first acknowledge those people who had a direct influence on the creation of this document. My brother, Philip, introduced me mashups a few years ago, and spawned my interest in the subject. Dr. Eric Drott taught a seminar on analyzing popular music where I was first able to research and write about mashups. And of course, my advisor, Dr. Jim Buhler has given me immeasurable help and guidance as I worked to complete both my degree and my dissertation. Thank you all so much for your help with this project. Although I am the only author of this dissertation, it truly could not have been completed without the help of many more people. First I would like to thank all of my professors, colleagues, and students at the University of Texas for making my time here so productive. I feel incredibly prepared to enter the field as an educator and a scholar thanks to all of you. I also want to thank all of my friends here in Austin and in other cities.
