Random Geekage » audio http://kevinisageek.org Randomness, geekery and whatever else I feel like Thu, 20 May 2010 10:29:06 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 MP3FS http://kevinisageek.org/2009/03/25/mp3fs/ http://kevinisageek.org/2009/03/25/mp3fs/#comments Wed, 25 Mar 2009 15:53:35 +0000 Kevin http://kevinisageek.org/?p=487

MP3FS is a read-only FUSE filesystem which transcodes audio formats (currently FLAC) to MP3 on the fly when opened and read. This was written to enable me to use my FLAC collection with software and/or hardware which only understands MP3. e.g. gmediaserver to a netgear MP101 mp3 player.

It is also a novel alternative to traditional mp3 encoder applications. Just use your favorite file browser to select the files you want encoded and copy them somewhere!

Epic win!

Might be useful for a text message alert on a mobile/cell phone.

First off, the R4nger5 have released their second Combat Short which goes over the details of V’s activist pack. Also, 1on3 R4nger5 episode 12 has been released (mirrored here).

Vrayes has released 2 episodes of his contribution to the Afternow world called The Storm (mirror) and Ru486 and Big Brother have released episode 3 of their contributions called The Wog Hunter Chronicles (mirror). Episodes 1 and 2 still have to be re-recorded it seems.

Avagdu has also released Storm The Wire 23 (mirror).

I have a ton of stuff to catch up on.

Not even close. But I feel like one. I have fixed my HDD audio player (again) after I managed to break it (again).

I found that the solder pad for the right audio channel had come off a circuit board. I don’t believe that is easy to fix. So I did the next best thing. A blatant hackjob. I found some thin wire (yay for random cruft), cut it up and after much fiddling and a little guesswork, soldered it between the left and right pins on the audio connector, thus providing sound to both ears. Yay!

Hope it doesn’t break again.
