Hi all, Just looking at migrating from win7 to Ubuntu. I have Ubuntu 11.04 on a test machine at the moment and am trying out software to see what suits my needs before taking the plunge. So, I'd like you your expert advice on suitable apps please. I have what, for me, is a pretty clean and seamless system running on my Win 7 machine at the moment but I am rather fed up with windows. Hence the plan to migrate if I can get a similar set up that suits my needs. My main use apart from email, web browsing etc.. are Music management, flac, wma and mp3 files, and playing and a bit of web design, development and maintenance.
My current packages and reasons for using them are: Web Design - Dreamweaver CS4 - Really powerful wysisyg, php and ajax. Web Testing - xampp - Local testing of web sites with php and MySql. I know these two are really off topic but I include them in case anyone has a comment to make on them. The rest are relevant to this forum, honest.... Music Streaming - Squeezebox Server - Need I say more Local Music - MusicBee - Clean and powerful and it syncs playlists to my HTC HD2 converting on the fly CD Ripping to flac - Eazy CD-DA Extractor or EAC - Both do the basic ripping job well. I'm not worried about the tagging at this stage as I use... Tag Editor - Mp3Tag - It's simply brilliant at tagging all my files, making sure all tags are ID3V2.3, cleaning out any others and embedding album art. Album Art Finder - Album Art Downloader - One stop search of all repositories, never fails to find it. If anyone has used these in windows and found an alternative in Linux or has any suggestions for apps that will do the job as well as these I'd love to hear from you. Many thanks. -- cliver SBS Version: 7.5.3 - r31792 SB Touch 7.5.3 - r9283 Squeezeplay 7.5.3 - r0 Win 7 Ultimate (64 Bit) SP1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cliver's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=43289 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=88912 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
