Re: [gentoo-user] Music Database Collection
Thanks All for the suggestions of Amarok and Tellico. Both appear excellent choices, though Tellico has caught my eye just a bit more only because it can do collections of other items as well, and I have in the back of my mind if this attempt is useful, to also try my movie collection. I did read that Tellico can automatically fetch CD info, so if a CD is in the player, Tellico will fetch the info automatically then? Thanks, Sean -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] Music Database Collection
Looking at the ebuild file it shows IUSE=calendar cddb yaz Something like emerge tellico calendar cddb yaz? Thanks Sean Would it be that just having the proper USE flags will include these extra abilities? I saw this on gentoo-portage.com USE Flags calendar Global: Adds support for calendars (not using mcal!) cddb Global: Access cddb servers to retrieve and submit information about compact disks yaz Global: Adds in optional support for the Z39.50 Protocol for Information Retrieval (YAZ) debug Global: Tells configure and the makefiles to build for debugging. Effects vary across packages, but generally it will at least add -g to CFLAGS. Remember to set FEATURES=nostrip too xinerama Global: Add support for the xinerama X11 extension, which allows you to stretch your display across multiple monitors elibc_FreeBSD Global: arts Global: Adds support for aRts: the KDE sound daemon -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] Music Database Collection (configuration)
Well I installed Tellico and have a question, or two. I see several data sources listed, however nothing in any way refers to CDDB, there are seven others listed, but I am guessing that I some how forgot an option? I checked out the Tellico site, so I figure there should be such an option? Is anyone able to advise? I am figure one this is in place I will be able to place a CD in the rack and pull the information. Please note:, I am not running KDE (or Gnome), just the installed KDE resources are in place for Tellico, if this has any effect on settings. Thanks Sean -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Is there another USE flag other then CDDB that needs to be included? Thanks again, Sean -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] Music Database Collection
I would like to create a database of some sort for my music collection. It is large so I thought that somehow I could use some application that could pull the info from a freebd server and if I wished I could alter any info. Try to entering it all by hand will be just to big of a project. I also hope to be able to export that info somehow. This attempted project will only be fully useful if I can get the database in some form into my Palm after it is created. Any such packages in portage that anyone can recommend for such a project? Any tips from anyone who has attempted such a project? Also, I am running Gentoo amd64, so the app(s) will need to run on that platform. Thanks in advance Sean -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Thanks in advance Sean I'm not sure if it's what you're after but Amarok can create a music collection database using either sqlite, mysql or postgresql. I believe it can use musicbrainz for automatic tagging, although I have no experience with it. -- Raymond Lewis Rebbeck -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Thanks in advance Sean As someone else on the list suggested, I recommend Tellico all the way. One of the things I like about Tellico (besides that it's visually pleasing) is that it allows you to record if you have loaned any of your collection to someone else. If you read Linux Journal and are aware of the Cooking with Linux column, this article was written about Tellico: http://www.marcelgagne.com/cwl042005.html And you can apparently export to your Palm, according to this article.

I love the ability to use a proper DB as my backend. I use postgresql and the DB is currently 7.0 gigs. It was much much larger until I enabled autovaccuum... By having your musicDB split off onto a postgres backend you can do whatever you like with it. -- Zac Slade [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ:1415282 YM:krakrjak AIM:ttyp99 -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
