FreeAmp becomes Zinf!
Hey! Since EMusic is getting wrapped into mp3.com, the machine that FreeAmp is being hosted on will be going away soon. Furthermore, the lovely folks at Play Media have been excercising their trademark of the word AMP, and forcing EMusic to make FreeAmp go away or change its name. Lame. Given these two events, I've moved the FreeAmp source code into a new project over at SourceForge called Zinf. Why Zinf? Zinf: Zinf is not FreeA*p! Plus Google spit out next to nothing for a search on Zinf, and the domain was available. So, the new home of the old FreeAmp codebase will now live on: http://www.zinf.org I have applied a few patches, fixed a couple of bugs, changed the name, removed the Bitzi/MusicBrainz/Relatable stuff that wasn't really working anyway, and slimmed down the codebase a bit. I've made a new release of the player, version 2.2.0: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/zinf/zinf-2.2.0.exe http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/zinf/zinf-2.2.0.tar.gz I think Zinf should be a no-frills, but solid and useful audio player for Windows and Linux. However, I spend so much of my time working on MusicBrainz, that I have little to no time to work on Zinf. I think it would be a shame to see Zinf just fade away, so I'd like to encourage people to help out and become part of the project. For anyone that who would be interested in taking the lead on Zinf, getting CVS write access, or otherwise help keep the project going, go to SourceForge, get a login and drop me a line -- I'll give you access to the codebase. -- --ruaok Freezerburn!

re: FreeAmp plugin.
If you download the freeamp source, the lcd plugin code is in ui/lcd
There doesn't seem to be any VC project files, so I guess that means it
won't get built under windows.
I can't really say how difficult it would be to build it on windows, but I
don't see it being too difficult.

Does the latest Win32 port of freeamp have the lcdproc plugin built in? I
does not get listed. Do I have to get that from somewhere? I have found a
NT port of the lcdproc, which looks suitable, I just need freeamp to talk to
the lcdproc server.
Thanks.

Anyone know where I can get this? Is it still compatible with freeamp? I'll also be looking for some kind of method to control FreeAmp remotly also ( not sure on this one yet, as there is only 1 serial port on the board). You may want to look at: http://lcdproc.omnipotent.net/ AFAIK the freeamp plugin uses lcdproc to control a display. Some of the displays that lcdproc can talk to include buttons. I've never used either the freeamp plugin or a display with buttons, so I can't comment beyond that.

There was a message on either the dxr3 or
xine mailing list about a problem like this.
I'll see if I can find the message.
Are you using the [default?] soundcard output plugin?
Maybe the message audio device is busy means that the audio device is
busy. If you have esd running (i.e if you are using gnome) then you should
select the esound output plugin. esd allows several programs to use the
soundcard at once.
The alternative is to stop whatever is using /dev/dsp before playing.
(if it's esd use esdctl off and esdctl on to temporarily disable it)
If you use kde, then artsd is the equivalent of esd. I don't know much
about it.

Important project update
Hi everyone, I apologize for spamming across so many mailing lists... I have the sad announcement to make that I was just laid off from EMusic. As you know EMusic has been kind enough to sponsor the development of FreeAmp, Obsequiuem and MusicBrainz. Unfortunately in the current climate that exists for tech companies such as EMusic, the company can't afford to sponsor these projects anylonger. I thank Brett Thomas and Gene Hoffman of EMusic for their kind support of these projects over the past two years. EMusic has agreed to continue hosting these projects on the current server, so there are no immediate worries that these projects will vanish. Personally, I am still very much dedicated to each of these projects and I will work to find new sponsors so that these projects can continue on. This brings me to the most important point of this e-mail: I am looking for a new employer and I hope to find a company that is interested in taking me in to allow me to continue working on these projects. If you think that FreeAmp or MusicBrainz might be of value to you or your company, please contact me. I've got a resume ready for anyone who'd like to download a copy. In the future, please contact me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Just for reference, the projects in question are: http://www.freeamp.org http://www.musicbrainz.org http://obs.freeamp.org Thank you for your time. --ruaok Freezerburn!

Re: control freeamp through http
I have been thinking along similar lines for some time, and I'm sure a number of people have made suggestions about how to do it on the list before. I recently wrote a screensaver that displays the current track name and artist if freeamp is running. It does this by peeking at the window title - it's a bit of a hack, but it works, I would of course love to extend this concept further. I would be wary therefore, of putting code into freeamp itself to generate HTML, and to act as a web server. My suggestion would be to write a UI plugin, that listens on a port, or named pipe or something (preferably something that can be done both on UNIX and that other operating system) - in other words create freeampd. Personally I was thinking of starting with the linux command line UI, and modifying it. But then I'm all talk and not much action Then write a CGI script that acts as a go between, doing things like handling multiple users, etc. Also, write a standalone app, that can load standard freeamp .UI, and talk to the freeampd (over a LAN perhaps - so everyone in a house/office/cafe etc. can have an input on the choice of music). I think the modular structure of freeamp should make this really easy to do. On a perhaps slightly unrelated issue, it would be great to have a jukebox mode, where when a track is played, it is removed from the currentplaylist, and if the current playlist is empty, freeamp plays randomly from my music.

Patch to get Tracknumber from filename.
Hi,
Many CD rippers (well certainly the one I use) provide the option to
include the track number in a filename. Now, I've been using this for ages,
putting the number at the beginning of the filename, so that when the directory
is shown the files are in album order.
Anyway, the following patch allows the extraction of tracknumbers from
filenames, if no number currently exists. Now, I realise that there is great
potential for numbers in filenames not being tracknumbers, but I figured that a
wrong track number is no worse than a '?' which is what appears at the moment.
Well, there is currently one bug with this patch in that any tracks
without numbers in the filename get given the number 3 from the .mp3 extension.
I plan to fix this shortly, but I thought I would try to get some feedback on
the patch first. In particular, should I do some range checking on the numbers I
get back. (For example what would happen if a file called "30,000 miles.mp3" was
given the tracknumber 3? Would this cause problems elsewhere?
Robert
p.s. This is my first ever patch to anything - so if I've messed up be
gentle.

The elegance of the source code is making me want to mangle my box, especially when my source code sits there and misbehaves.

I'm not very knowledgable about developing for windows, and know little of its limitations as far as dll's go. Someone else wrote the dll interface, so I'm not terribly familiar with it. So if there's a solution which allows us to use the C++ interface for all platforms, I'm all for it. There isn't such a solution -- anytime that a program communicates to a library via the C++ interface (vtable) both programs need to be compiled with the same compiler. The C++ standard never standardized how the names should be mangled and therefore two different C++ compilers cannot talk to each other. It sucks balls, but anytime you're creating a library that multiple applications from different compiler architectures need to use, you should use the standard C interface. My next major goal for id3lib, however, is a full-fledged C interface. If using the C++ interface for both platforms isn't tenable, I will speed up that part of the project and get it out to you ASAP, possibly by next Monday. Let me know what you would like. The dll wrapper C interface is not terrible -- it will work ok. If you could expose that interface in linux as well, I would be very happy.

Good catch -- I just fixed it in cvs.
Sorry for not using bugzilla. Keep up the good work! I'll be back a bit
later, maybe bearing some code :) Actually I want to implement "knob"
control (so one could convert some of those immensely cool kjofol skins to
freeamp). Maybe you can explain me about the state table (TransitionsInfo)
- I can't seem to figure it out.
Each control is a finite state machine. A finite state machine is a
piece of code that has a clearly defined set of states, and when
certain actions happen, the finite state machine transitions from one
state to another state. When the machine transitions state, it usually
means that there is some action that gets triggered.
static TransitionInfo pTransitions[] =
{
// Curr. state Transition Next state
{ CS_Normal, CT_MouseEnter, CS_MouseOver },
. . .
{ CS_MouseOver, CT_MouseLeave, CS_Normal },
. . .
};
In the table above are two example transitions taken from the button
control state table. CS_Normal (For ControlState Normal) means the
button is is the normal state (no mouse over, not disabled, etc). When
the control gets a CT_MouseEnter (ControlTransition MouseEnter)
transition (sent by the freeamp theme when the mouse enters the
boundary of the control) the state changes to CS_MouseOver. When the
mouse leaves the control the theme sends the CT_MouseLeave transition
and the state goes back to normal. There obviously are many more states
to this control, but these two are the most basic as an example. Look
at the /ui/freeamp/src/ButtonControl.cpp:Transition function to check
out the case statement that carries out the various BltFunctions as the
control accepts transitions from one state to another.
So, by adding and removing states from the table you can change the
behaviour of the control without having to write many complicated
if-then statements.
Can you tell I like FSMs? Very powerful stuff!

Re: General Question
On 25 Feb, Duc Tang wrote: I fully support the freeamp program, but why does Freeamp take so long to load up, I am starting to use Winamp because of it. Winamp loads up much quiker, is this situation similiar on everyone's computer. You should just leave FreeAmp running. :-) But seriously, FreeAmp is built on a plugin architecture where each plugin is in a DLL. When Windows loads a DLL from disk, it loads the given DLL at a certain base address that the DLL specifies. If another DLL is already residing at that address, the DLL needs to be re-based. All of the address references in the loading DLL that assumed one base address now need to be told that the DLL has been rebased. This process is time-consuming, especially for FreeAmp since we have a lot of DLLs. This can be minimized by giving base addresses to each one of our DLLs so that when FreeAmp loads we can prevent the conflicts which will make FreeAmp load a lot faster. Why haven't we done this? We've been to busy writing code? Naaah.

Cool! +feature suggestion: in the preferences file there's a value: ThemePath: ./themes/freeamp.fat it should not be the default theme, but the path, so the theme browser will search for the themes there.

FreeAmp 1.5 Update
Hi folks! I'd like to take a moment to update the FreeAmp mailing list with some details on the 1.5 release of FreeAmp. Then, in my next e-mail I'll address some issues regarding the Theme ui and what I can get done with respect to the FreeAmp schedule. In August EMusic laid out a set of reasonable goals for the FreeAmp team to accomplish by November 15th. These goals include: -- A new easier to use user interface -- A more intelligent playlist manager and a music browser to make it easier for someone to download and use music from the net -- A download manager to assist and automate downloading MP3s from the net. -- A few other minor features to make freeamp easier to use all around We have a specification and a schedule for this entire project, and I would really like to share both of those with the FreeAmp community. However, some people at EMusic do not feel comfortable sharing some of the information that is covered in the specification due to some confidentiality agreements that we must honor with our partners. I hope that during the next revision of FreeAmp we will not have that limitation. So, the above features will need to get into beta by october 18th and a final release on November 15th. I intend to do my best to keep this schedule, which unfortunately will mean that I will have to say no to some of the feature requests that are coming in. --ruaok Freezerburn!

Latest Theme stuff
I just checked in the latest and greatest theme stuff: -- TransIndex now works properly, and is not mandatory -- a new Font tag has been added to define font typefaces -- a new Style tag bas been added as part of TextControl to give Theme writers greater control over a font. Color, alignment, bold, italic and underline can now all be specified. (the last three don't actually work yet, that's for tomorrow) -- A new Info tag has been added for all controls. The attribute "Desc" will allow the theme writer to give a short description to a control that can be displayed in the "Info" field when the mouse moves over the control. Also it has a "Tip" attribute for displaying a tool-tip. However, the actual implementation of the tooltips is left as an excercise for Valters. :-) I added the Font tag, to give us more control over fonts. In the face field, the theme writer can specifiy a number of font type faces seperated by commas. The system will (once its completely implemented) search this list until it finds a matching font. So, saying Font Name="San Serif" Face="Arial,Helvetica" should hopefully get a san serif font on both Linux and Windows. For the next release I would like to add a "Link" attribute that allows a theme writer to enter a URL where the particular font can be downloaded from. If the system finds that the specified font is not available, the font can be downloaded from the net. Once the download is complete, the Theme ui would then refresh and use the downloaded font. However, I don't have the time to implenment that right now. But, that's why we have the Font tag now. Valters: I've attached the theme.xml file for your theme. I've updated it to match my latest set of changes. The bitmaps have not changed at all. --ruaok Freezerburn!

RE: pthreads ??
Jim Carlson sez:
Are calls to suspend and resume ref counted? iow, if i do this in
pseudo-code:
No. It just does a SIGSTOP and SIGCONT for suspend and resume. The
first resume after N=1 suspends will cause the task to restart.
is that the way it works for pthreads?
Pthreads doesn't really have suspend/resume. Just SIGSTOP and
SIGCONT.
I agree with you, but it even gets worse than that. Let me elaborate.
The signal handling under LinuxThreads is different from the signal
handling under POSIX threads for one. And, as far as I can tell, the
signal handling is cooperative, and the current thread implementation
does not cooperative signal handling. The code for suspend and resume
is show here:
void
linuxThread::
Suspend()
{
m_suspendMutex-Acquire(WAIT_FOREVER);
if (!m_suspended) {
pthread_kill(m_threadHandle, SIGSTOP);
m_suspended = true;
}
m_suspendMutex-Release();
}
void
linuxThread::
Resume()
{
m_suspendMutex-Acquire(WAIT_FOREVER);
if (m_suspended) {
pthread_kill(m_threadHandle, SIGCONT);
m_suspended = false;
}
m_suspendMutex-Release();
}
So, I wrote this little test program, to see how well the
internals of Suspend and Resume work:
#include stdio.h
#include pthread.h
#include sys/types.h
#include signal.h
#include time.h
void tprint(char *string)
{
time_t t;
time(t);
printf("%s%s\n", ctime(t), string);
}
void *worker_thread(void *pArg)
{
tprint("Worker thread start, sleeping 5 secs\n");
sleep(5);
tprint("Back from sleep, worker thread exiting...\n");
return NULL;
}
int main(int argc, char *pargv[])
{
pthread_t t;
t = pthread_create(t, NULL, worker_thread, NULL);
tprint("Main thread starting\n");
sleep(1);
tprint("Suspending thread...\n");
pthread_kill(t, SIGSTOP);
sleep(10);
tprint("Exit...\n");
return 0;
}
The output of this program is:
Mon Sep 20 11:15:45 1999
Main thread starting
Mon Sep 20 11:15:45 1999
Worker thread start, sleeping 5 secs
Mon Sep 20 11:15:46 1999
Suspending thread...
Mon Sep 20 11:15:50 1999
Back from sleep, worker thread exiting...
Mon Sep 20 11:15:56 1999
Exit...
As you can see, the worker thread never gets interrupted or slowed
down. This is exactly what would happend with the current Thread.cpp
class for linux.
Conclusion: We should not use Suspend() and Resume(). As a matter of
fact it would be best for us to remove these calls from the classes
altogether.

Re: MP1 and MP2 disabled ?

Are you sure you're looking at an unmodified version of xinglmc.cpp version 1.97? (m_sMpegHead.option == 1) it seems that MP1 (m_sMpegHead.option == 3) and MP2 (m_sMpegHead.option == 2) are disabled. xinglmc.cpp version 1.97 of freeamp 1.3.0, line 232: (m_sMpegHead.option == 1 || m_sMpegHead.option == 2) Given this, MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 layers 2 and layers 3 are enabled and layer 1 is not. There aren't too many layer 1 files out in the world, since they are almost identical algorithms (as far as difficulty to implement is concerned), with layer 2 yielding better compression. Most people never bothered with layer 1. Quite frankly I am suprised that people still want to deal with layer 2. The MPEG audio streaming synching is a mess, and our friends over at SHOUTcast made a couple of screw-ups when they created SHOUTcast. Here is the scoop: An audio frame in MPEG begins with the bits 0xFFF*, after that you will find the all the juicy details for the frame like the bit rate, sample rate and all that happy stuff. The MPEG group decided to not impose the restriction that the audio frame synch marker could not ever appear in the body of an MPEG frame. SHOUTcast does not require each packet that it sends (unlike a properly designed streaming protocol like RTP) contains an integral number of MPEG frames. This means that a SHOUTcast client needs to search for the next synch marker and start playing that stream. Well, most of the bits in the MPEG frame header are used, which means that if you jump into the middle of a SHOUTcast stream, find the next sync marker you may not actually have found a correct stream marker. And you cannot tell from the header itself if you've found a valid sync marker, since most of the bits in the audio header are used. This means that you can jump into the middle of a 128k layer 3 stream and think that you're actually getting a 256k layer 1 stream. So, I thought I'd be clever and given the current header go to the next header and compare the headers to make sure that this was a valid stream. Well, that is also not foolproof since there are some MP3 files that have nothing but FFs as the contents of the first dozen audio frames. So, its hard to distinguish if you're jumping from trash to trash header or from an actual to an actual header. So, finally I can make my point to answer your question. If I remove a rarely used layer and I toss out frames layer types '00' and '11' then I've removed half of the possible bad frames that my sync scheme might get tripped up on. Besides, most of the time when the sync scheme got confused, it thought it was decoding a layer 1 file. Well, you asked. :-) --ruaok Freezerburn!

Also, there's a way to specify the UI using -ui, but how do I specify the IO plugin? I had to rename alsa.pmo to soundcard.pmo to use it. But I'm still getting an error about device busy. Any ideas before I dig into the code? The pmo is specified in the ~/.freeamp-prefs file. --ruaok Freezerburn!

Re: And now...
On 6 Aug, Bruce Oblander wrote: Got it...but one (well maybe two) more question: I send "x-audiocast-streamurl: myurl" to FreeAmp *once* when it connects to my server. I'm then sending "x-audiocast-streamtitle: trackTitle" to FreeAmp as the titles change. is this correct or did I mis-read the code? No, the url and title are each sent when a new stream starts, and in the case of Obsequeuim every 10 seconds as well. However, the code may be confusing, since it uses two seperate packets and not one large packet to the send the url and title. --ruaok Freezerburn!
