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. Now launch your rhythmbox and on the left pane you will see the Jamendo and Magnatune text appearing and the two music networks icons showing up. To start playing music in either in selected playlist by your or just play all the available music on Jamendo / Magnatune you should select either one or the other one. Enjoy the nice music ! :) 1 / 1 Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org).

    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.

    Title: Internet Peer-to-Peer File Sharing Policy Policy Number 2010-002 TopicalArea: Security Document Type Program Policy Pages: 3 Effective Date 8t20t2010 POC for Changes Director, Office of Computing and Information Services (OCIS) Synopsis Establishes a Dalton State College-wide policy regarding copyright infringement. Overview The popularity of Internet peer-to-peer file sharing is often the source of network resource allocation problems and copyright infringement. 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.
