[gentoo-user] usb device mp3 playlist maker

[maxim wexler]

Hi group,

I have a generic mp3 usb 256M player. Does anybody
know of a program or script that will load it with
tunes, in a random arrangement from a dir full of
mp3s?

Maxim

Does it show up as a usb block device?  If so, you can copy files however 
you choose.  AmaroK should be able to generate a random playlist of X 
songs, and may be able to do one of X MiB.

If not, you'll have to figure out if there's a driver for it, and see what 
methods are available using that driver.

A number of IPod related tools exist. For example gtkpod. It can build 
playlists but I'm not sure if it will work with your player.

There's this thing which looks promising(awkward name,
though). 

http://osx.freshmeat.net/projects/cpshufflesature/

The URL says osx but the site says "OS Independant".

I ran it according to directions at the "Demo" link,
but:

heathen@localhost ~ $ ./cpShuffleSature_stable -t /usb
-f '\.mp(3|e?g)$' -s 'music/mp3' -m 256M
Can't locate Carp/Assert.pm in @INC (@INC contains:

My perl seems up-to-date and here's Carp.pm:

heathen@localhost ~ $ ls -l
/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/Carp.pm
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 8840 Jul  7  2006 

lines 57-59:

#Linux Debian: libcarp-assert-perl
#use Carp::Assert;
no Carp::Assert; # line commented out => debug mode

I swapped comments with the same result.

Oh, and here's where Assert.pm lives. I did a search
in the code for "Assert.pm" but it didn't show so I
don't know where the program expects to find it or how
to tell it where to look.

slocate Assert.pm
/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/Test/Harness/Assert.pm
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/Test/Harness/Assert.pm
heathen@localhost ~ $

Well, that went smoothly enough, but:

heathen@localhost ~ $ ls /usr/lib/perl5/*8/Carp
Heavy.pm

and now it wants something else:

heathen@localhost ~ $ ./cpShuffleSature_stable -t /usb
-f '\.mp(3|e?g)$' -s 'music/mp3' -m 256M

I did emerge -pv DiskFree, Filesys-DiskFree, and it
came back "no ebuilds to satisfy..."

And nothing like that under /usr/portage/dev-perl

There was however a Filesys-DiskSpace which I had to
unmask before emerging. Didn't help though, same
result. 

Here's l.80-81 from the code. 

#Linux Debian: libfilesys-diskfree-perl
use Filesys::DiskFree;

Maybe it's a Debian thing and won't work in gentoo?

I meant that after emerging Carp-Assert there is only
Heavy.pm under the Carp dir. You seem to imply that I
should also find Assert.pm.

So the first time it only made the ebuild and the
second time, installed it?

 
OK, I'm running the program NOW. The cursor dropped to
the next line and stopped there. It appears to be
copying tunes, but it's verrrrrrry slllloowwwwww.
Takes about a minute per tune. Looks like it stopped
at eleven out of ~70. No, it's up to 17 now -- after
20mins -- not good.

When I first tried emerging Filesys-DiskSpace the
error was "masked by ~x86 keyword". So I 

#echo "dev-perl/Filesys-DiskSpace ~x86" >>
/etc/portage/package.keywords
                                                      
                                  
and the file was emerged.
