Well folks, here’s another quick tech tip that I use once in a while. How do you rip only the audio from an .FLV file? .FLV files, or Flash Video files are the format used in browser-embedded videos, common on video-sharing sites such as YouTube or Vimeo (and Eadrax!) For whatever reason if you have an .FLV file of your favourite music video, now you can get the music rocking solo.

This HOWTO will explain how to install the Amazon MP3 Downloader application under openSUSE 11 (both 11.0 and 11.1).

This installation will cover how to install the Gnump3d mp3/ogg server in both Ubuntu and Open Suse.
Sharing something with friends or anyone through network (LAN or WAN) is really a great thing. And one of the best thing to share is music. Yeah, if you have a great collection of digital music stored in your hard disk, it’s time to share it with another people. Never say that you don’t have any idea how to share your music no.. no.. no.., wake up! Remember that we live in the world of free and open source software, we have many choices and the most important it’s free. What? You’re still using that fool proprietary thing, oh.. come on.
mpg123 is a command line mp3 player for unix-based systems. It’s relatively simple to use. To install:
mpg123 /home/username/song.mp3
or
mpg123 -C /home/username/music_folder/
Ta da.
By using the -C switch, keyboard controls are enabled and by default you can use ’s’ to stop, ‘p’ to pause, ‘f’ to jump forward to the next song, ‘b’ to jump back to the beginning of the song, ‘,’ to rewind, ‘.’ to fast forward, and ‘q’ to quit. Type ‘h’ for a full list of available controls.
