[Ryan Curtin]

The Linux Users Group at Georgia Tech presents

"Music Tagging"
  by Ryan Curtin

Sep. 14th, 2010, 7:00 PM
Klaus Advanced Computing Building, room 2456

Overview:

  Tagging music is for many a tedious task filled with repetition
(especially for Windows users). However, all sorts of more powerful and
capable open source music taggers are available. This presentation will
discuss the different types of tags present in audio files (ID3, APE,
and others), standardization of tags, the usage of powerful batch
tagging software such as Ex Falso, Easytag, eyeD3, and Picard, as well
as automatic tagging software which uses audio fingerprinting in
conjunction with online resources such as MusicBrainz. Additionally, a
quick overview of music similarity measures (which are used in things
like playlist generation) and their applications in open-source software
will be given.

Upcoming presentations and events:

  2010.09.18:  Installfest 45
  2010.09.22:  Basic CLI Usage
  2010.09.29:  Neat Tricks Roundtable

Hope to see you there!
