Firefox flash plugin: no sound

August 4, 2008 by sandajian in Fedora, Firefox, Multimedia

If you can not hear any sound when playing flash video in Firefox, It’s probably because that you hasn’t installed the package ‘libflashsupport’. To solve it, just install that package and restart Firefox.

For Fedora, you may use the command

# yum install libflashsupport

A shell script to convert APE/FLAC to mp3

December 6, 2007 by sandajian in Multimedia

There is a shell script that can convert a big APE/FLAC file to mp3 files easily. The author of the script is not clear, the script just says: Brian’s Archive CUE/FLAC Splitter v0.1, No sanity checking in place. Be careful.

Download the script ‘ape2mp3′. The original script has been slightly modified to be used with newer versions of the related software.

Use of the script is very simple (of course you need both the CUE file and the APE/FLAC file):

# ape2mp3 album.cue album.ape

It requires several packages installed on your system. For Fedora, some packages can be found at freshrpms.net. You may first install freshrpms-release, then use ‘yum’ to install them.
