[ale] Fwd: LUG at GT Meeting - 2010.09.15 - Music Tagging

[Aaron Ruscetta]

This is apparently happening WEDNESDAY night,
though the body info says Sept. 14th and doesn't note
the day of the week. I know because I just wasted an
hour and a half finding that out. A little bit my bad since
I should have noticed the date in the subject line didn't
jive with the date in the notice.

The topic was actually of enough interest that it would
make me want to breach the anti-human Nazi gestapo
security nightmare that our publicly funded college
campuses have become.  It's not enough to make me
want to do it twice, though, so have fun if you breach
the walls tomorrow.

The real costs of allowing the gluttony of the wealthy
to create the cancer of poverty in human society are
beyond all calculation.

peace

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!
