some mocp questions

1) Copied my music collection off my ipod to /music a little while ago - rhythmbox has no problem with the files but moc can't see them. I THINK I have all the required libraries, but I'm not sure.

2) How do I make mocp boot up with the theme I want, and not the default?

3) Internet radio streams - do you punch in a url each time? Or keep a dir of m3u files or whatever?

Re: some mocp questions

1. What format are the songs? I have no problems accessing MP3s.

2. In ~/.moc/config, change this line:

Theme                 = example_theme

You can find an example config file at:

/usr/share/doc/moc/examples/config.example.gz

Trying to compile from source now. ./configure seems to go well but make gives me this error

EDIT: to be more clear, my reasoning/actions went something like this: 1) can't play mp3s, try to install the proper MAD libs the moc site says I need 2) that didn't work, try to compile from source 3) can't compile, try installing again from repo. Now when I install from repo I still can't play the files and the files I COULD play originally (mp3 files not from my ipod) crash mocp with an "unknown error."

Re: some mocp questions

Why compile from source?  I think you might just be missing moc-ffmpeg-plugin, as it isn't automatically pulled in as a dependency.

Just tried that. Stopped the crashing, which is good. Still can't see the ipod files.

Re: some mocp questions

Just had a thought: ipod may have pulled .mp3 off the file names. Attempting to check now.

EDIT: yeah, I'm pretty sure that's the problem. I remember Banshee having the same thing, which didn't concern me because I only wanted to use it for the Amazon mp3 store. Googling around for a fix.

EDIT EDIT: Yes, that in fact is the problem. Derp. Anyone know an easy way to slap .mp3 at the end of several hundred files?

Re: some mocp questions

Make this script:

#!/bin/bash
for f in * ; do mv "$f" "${f}.mp3" ; done

And then in the folder with all your extensionless mp3s just run "scriptname *".

Ah. Would I have to do so in every sub dir I have for each artist and album? Because that might be a deal breaker.

EDIT - Found a solution: use Banshee to copy my ipod library rather than Rhythmbox.

Also: does anyone actively use moc to play internet streams? I think I have curl installed properly but there seem to be some problems that are a little over my head.

Re: some mocp questions

This has a link to a patch that may solve my streaming problem, but I'm not Linux literate enough to know how to apply it. Can anyone give me a little instruction?

Same applies to This last.fm scrobbling script.

Re: some mocp questions

Are you even sure the problem is with curl? Debian Squeeze includes a newer 7.21 version of curl.

Re: some mocp questions

Nope, but it's the only fix I can find for the described problem. Maybe I'll just find a different cli program for streams.

Re: some mocp questions

Can someone help me out with how to apply the last.fm patch. I'm guessing I slap that code in a file, but I don't know which.

Re: some mocp questions

The last.fm thing you linked to is not a patch afaik, its just a script. Just paste the contents into an empty file, make it executable, and run it.

Re: some mocp questions

How do I make the file into an executable?

Sorry for the million question. #! has awakened me a lust for lo-fi and I'd like to do a bunch of stuff via cli if I can, But the knowledge needed to work cli programs is gonna take some work.
