is there any mp3 manager for linux?

[Deepak]

Hi,

I have around 40GB full of mp3s. Right now I am using
xmms in FC4. My problem is searching a particular mp3.

$ ls -R | grep "name".mp3 doesn't work because some
are ripped with filenames like "AudioTrack 01.mp3"
etc. but these files have ID3 tags already there when
it was used with windows media player before.

Is there a utility or addons for xmms (like those in
media player, winamp etc.) or separate program, which
can manage all those mp3 based on Album,Year, Gnere
etc.?

Thanks!

Thanks for suggestion but that is not what I exactly
want. Pressing "J" key only shows up my current
playlist and similarly search scope is only current
playlist.

What I need is to search the mp3 on my harddrive which
is not currently in my playlist, so that I can put
them in my list.

Windows media player has this feature like monitoring
the folder or adding to library, from where I can
search any song I want and create a list.

Well I am not looking for the same feature though, it
will be fine even if something like how updatedb and
locate works.

what I mean is something like this:
when I add the new songs in my drive I just need to do
some sort of update (like updatedb) and next program
can locate my songs based on ID3 tags (not based on
filenames).

Is there any utilities like that for linux?

Better solutions are welcomed!

That's not MP3 manager at all. It is MIDI composing application.

Read this on their page

"Rosegarden is a professional audio and MIDI sequencer, score editor,
and general-purpose music composition and editing environment."

is there any mp3 manager for linux? (SOLVED)

Thanks to everyone for giving suggestions.

I installed amaroK and all went well.

This may help also: easytag is in the extras repo, and will allow 
you to (more or less) automatically rename all of those files in 
whatever way you like using song name, album name band name, 
resleasedate, or whatever you like.

Put this into build-xmms-pl and run it from cron at night:

#! /bin/sh
  find /var/music/ -name "*.mp3"   -exec echo {} >> xmms.m3u.tmp ;
  find /var/music/ -name "*.wma"   -exec echo {} >> xmms.m3u.tmp ;
  cat xmms.m3u.tmp | sort > xmms.m3u
  rm xmms.m3u.tmp

I'm using Rhythmbox for that. If you have the "rhythmbox" package installed
it's under the sound&video menu option "music player". You need the
"gstreamer-plugins-mp3" package from the livna repository to make it play
mp3 files.

The trouble with rhythmbox is its GUI is incredibly clumsy and and ugly. 
It's a waste of screen space most of the time :(

JDL

[oleksandr korneta]

checkout these out
http://amarok.kde.org/
http://madman.sourceforge.net/

The first one needs the whole kde for installation, the second is pure
qt application.
I'm personaly using the second one, but i was not able to manage to
build it for fc4 (suspecting this is because of gcc4), but rpm for fc2
from dag repository works just fine. I'm just wondering why dag doesnt
to make an rpm for fc4 :(
Madman has very powerful search capabilities through internel regexps.
I'm loving it.
