I can't get this thing to work with windows. I think it's because
I can't get service pack 2 on my pirated copy. My Gentoo box
gets usb errors when I connect it. I don't want to fiddle with
it too much. I thought I might try one of the new desktop type
distros. My workmate like ubuntu. It seems to handle the ipod
well as installed.
What are suggestions as to how to use my ipod with Linux?
Which distro, and which applications?
Thanks,
Toby
Hello everyone,
Maybe not entirely related to music, so forgive me for that. I have been
busy with the following problem for sometime now and I can't seem to
figure it out.
I want to batch create symlinks in the main directory, of all the files
in subdirectories. E.g.
$ls
dir1
dir2
dir3
file1.mp3 -> .dir1/file1.mp3
file2.mp3 -> .dir1/file2.mp3
file3.mp3 -> .dir2/file3.mp3
file4.mp3 -> .dir2/file4.mp3
file5.mp3 -> .dir3/file5.mp3
file6.mp3 -> .dir3/file6.mp3
I tried various shell thingies like:
for i in *.mp3; do ln -s --target-directory=../ $i $i; done
in the subdir, or
for i in ./dir1/*.mp3; do ln -s $i $i;done
with various variations, but it seems impossible to do it this way. What
is the right way to go about this? I know very little Python and some
bash scripting. I want to figure the solution out myself, so any
suggestions/hints related to Python/bash are more than welcome.
Cheers,
Hans

You might find this useful. (cp -s rocks!)
cd $TARGETDIR
(any loop stuff)
cp -s $FROMDIR *.mp3 ./

Yes, a cute little utility. Obviously the horn solo would be looser and the
drums tight.
Note that the best "humanizer" around is the Ntonyx Style Enhancer. Two
disadvanates is that one must buy it (heaven forfend!) and it runs in Windows
(satan himself!). Actually, I have got it going using WINE which does not
handle the multi-threading well but if one does not try tweaking while
playing, it will work. I've been with this since they first came out with it.
Results range from, well, better than flat MIDI to I can't believe it's MIDI.
(For example, one does not randomly shift timings through a piece--one marks
the phrazes and such shifts are applied accordingly.)
I've added the support for 4 independent channels (if you need more you
can edit the MAX_MIDI_CHANNELS value in the source file).
With multiple channels you can now send, for instance, each group of
instruments of a drum kit to a different channel with its own settings
to make some instruments play more precisely and others with a more
relaxed timing.

Maybe I should make the gaussian distribution the default setting?
Obviously, if this utility will keep growing I'll add presets loading
and saving.

Because wget got trapped to such a wiki recently I have true
figures:
-Document is about 20 MB (with duplicate files I'm sure)
-docu/index.php/ directory with Special:Recentchangeslinked/ etc subdirs
is 63 MB
-The whole wiki at docu/ is 13.5 GB with 1,600,000 files
20 MB vs 13.5 GB makes me think the wiki is not of the best technology.
The download software could be better as well. I will mail my
suggestions to wget list.

Hi all,
I recently aquired an used edirol UA 25.
While the audio part is working (recognized as I plug it), I can't see
any MIDI ports...
Anyone here has the same problem? It's a known issue or I have to pass
some parameter to snd-usb-audio to get it working?
Thank you in advance

I'm trying out some css ideas on a new web page and would appreciate
any comments. Most of the links should work OK, but it's really the

It seems OK to me on firefox 1.5 and Opera 9.

Increasing and decreasing tempo is especially convenient in Radium, where
there is an editable tempo-graph available all the time made
for making music more "human".

Also, adding a bit of accelerando or ritardando at the end of each
bar, or right before a new theme starts sometime helps as well.
