It's particularly useful for building CDs for car players.

Mp3fs transcoding FUSE filesystem: MP3FS is a read-only FUSE filesystem that transcodes FLAC audio files to MP3 on the fly when opened and read. It is useful to enable the use of your FLAC collection with software and/or hardware that only understands MP3s. It is also a novel alternative to traditional MP3 encoder applications. Just use your favorite file browser to select the files you want encoded, and copy them somewhere.

Mp3mover.pl: mp3mover.pl is a Perl script which attempts to rename MP3 files so that they conform to a consistent user-defined naming scheme. It inspects every MP3 in a directory and attempts to work out which part of the MP3 is the artist's name, album name, etc. It then renames each MP3 to follow the user's naming scheme, optionally creating a directory structure and writing an id3v1 or id3v2 tag to the MP3 based on the information it obtains. mp3mover.pl was designed to be very flexible and can be highly customized through the use of a large number of command line options and a per user configuration file.

Mp3riot: 'mp3riot' is a command line utility that searches recursively through directories, builds a file list (with additional file information), sorts this filelist alphabetically by the filenames, not by the name of the directory they are stored in, and generates html files. The output can be controlled, links can be corrected, and more.

It also lets you compare the effect (at least on bitrates) of using different decoders or codecs on the same file as well as seeing how different arguments on the same encoder affect bitrate. The batch file mode lets users compile data about their entire collection.

Mp3station: MP3 STATION is a LIRC-aware, plain-text tool set for managing MP3 playback in a car or home with as little user interaction as possible. It can restart the last playlist at the last played track/frame, transparently load directories and recompile playlists, and keep a repository of all playlists. It has two simple clients for communicating with cm3s (a curses console client and a very basic one on a parallel port). All programs run under a non-privileged user account.

Mp3tools: mp3tools is a set of utilities (mp3id3, mp3info, mp3index, and mp3gui) for managing collections of MPEG audio files. It can get information such as bitrate and play length about a file, view and alter ID3 tags, and generate completely customized listings. mp3info shows the play length, bitrate, MPEG version and layer of an MPEG audio file. mp3id3 shows the ID3 tags from an MPEG audio file and let you change them. mp3index generates customized listings of your MPEG audio files. It comes with a sample "format file", which is how mp3index determines what to make the output look like. The final part of mp3tools is mp3gui, a graphical user interface with all the power of mp3info, and mp3id3 in addition to being a frontend to mp3index. With mp3gui, you don't need to use command-line arguments.

Mp3wrap: 'mp3wrap' wraps two or more mp3 files in one single large playable mp3, without losing filenames and ID3 informations (and without need of decoding/encoding). Also, other non mp3 files (PlayLists, info files, non mp3 files, cover images) may be included inside the mp3. This means you get a large mp3 that you can split in any moment just using mp3splt and in few seconds you have all original files again! It's useful because files created with Mp3Wrap are easy to download. Infact who downloads has not to know each single song name and easy to play and even if you don't have mp3splt to split file, you can listen to it anyway. Mp3Wrap files do not need ID3 to work. It is faster because you have not to select each file one at a time. It can also include path info and other non mp3 files such as playlists.

Mpd: Music Player Daemon (MPD) is a server that allows remote access for playing music (MP3, Ogg Vorbis, and Flac) and managing playlists. The design focus is on integrating a computer into a stereo system that provides control for music playback over a local network. Currently, it includes a Web interface (phpMp), a GTK frontend (gtk2mp), a command line tool (mpc), and a dock app(WMmp). Its goals are ease of installation and use, minimal resource requirements, and stability and flexibility.

Mpd-monitor: `mpd-monitor` is a bash script which displays the properties of an audio stream as played by Music Player Daemon (mpd). Besides the common mpd meta values of the current stream, like title, artist and source (url), it displays the detailed audio properties of the source stream or file, the way mpd interprets it, and the way the stream is handled by alsa (and thereforehanded over to the DAC). It can be used as a real life bit-perfectness monitor.

Mpv

mpv is a general-purpose audio and video player. It is a fork of mplayer2 and MPlayer. It shares some features with the former projects while introducing many more. Changes from mplayer2 to mpv include:

Removal of lots of unneeded code to encourage developer activity
Better OSD rendering
Cleaned up terminal output * Improved OpenGL output
Encoding functionality (replacement for mencoder)
Wayland support
Support for playing URLs of popular streaming sites
Screenshot improvements...

MrVoice: Mr. Voice is a Perl/Tk front-end for an MP3 database. It was written specifically to provide an easy-to-use MP3 solution for the production booth of an improv comedy troupe, and as such is tailored to providing quick searches and playback of MP3s that are split up into categories. While not intended to be a standalone desktop MP3 player, others in a similar situation may find it useful. It is/has been in use at more than a dozen comedy clubs around the US.

MuSE Streamer: MuSE provides the free software community with a user friendly but powerful tool for network audio streaming, making life easier for independent free speech online radios. It has both a graphical interfaces and a documented commandline interface in traditional *nix style MuSE is an application for the mixing, encoding, and network streaming of sound. It can mix up to 6 encoded audio bitstreams (from files or network, mp3 or ogg) plus a souncard input signal. The resulting stream can be played locally on the sound card and/or encoded at different bitrates, recorded to harddisk and/or streamed to the net. When sent to a server, the resulting audio can be listened thru the net by various players available on different operating systems.

Muine: Muine is a new music player using some new UI ideas. The idea is that it will be much easier and comfortable to use than the iTunes model, which is used by both Rhythmbox and Jamboree. It is written in C and C#, using GStreamer for music playback.

Multi-Threaded DAAP Daemon: Multi-Threaded DAAP Daemon is used for sharing MP3 files with clients using daap. It includes support for static playlists (.m3u files), dynamic playlists using a script-like language, Web-based administration, and built-in mDNS (rendezvous) advertising using Apple's ASPL mDNS responder.

Music player command: 'mpc' (Music Player Command) is a command-line tool for interfacing Music Player Daemon (MPD). It uses bash tab completion and can use the output of other programs as input via piping. See also: GNU MPC

Mussort: Mussort is a simple music sorting program. It sorts your music (OGG Vorbis/MP3) collection into directories by artist and album, and renames the files themselves.

Mybashburn: MyBashBurn can burn data Cd's, music Cd's, multisession Cd's. It can burn and create ISO files. It can burn bin/cue files, create mp3s, oggs and flac files. Supports burning DVD-images and data DVDs, and other funny options. Also makes use of advanced and extensive regular expressions for the control of the capabilities of backend applications to burn and create audio files. MyBashBurn depends on cdrecord and other backend applications, so basically if your writing device works with it, MyBashBurn will work flawlessly. mybashburn basically, it is no more than a Terminal User Interface (TUI) frontend based of the CD burning shell script called BashBurn for GNU/Linux; this originally does not have the best eye-candy CD-burning UI, nevertheless, MyBashBurn uses dialog boxes/functions which draws (using ncurses) windows onto the screen. MyBashBurn dialog boxes offer good functionality, and has very good capabilities of automatically finding dependencies and auto detecting devices CD/DVD RW. In short, do not reinvent the wheel - just let MyBashBurn do what you want it to do.

MythTV

MythTV is a GPL licensed suite of programs that allow you to build the mythical home media convergence box on your own using free software and operating systems. MythTV has a number of capabilities. The television portion allows you to do the following:

You may pause, fast-forward and rewind live Television.
You may install multiple video capture cards to record more than one program at a time.
You can have multiple servers, each with multiple capture cards in them. All servers are centrally managed and all programs are scheduled by the Master backend.
You can have multiple clients (called "frontends" in MythTV parlance), each with a common view of all available programs. Any client can watch any program that was recorded by any of the servers. Clients can be diskless and controlled entirely by a remote control.
You may use any combination of standard analog capture card, MPEG-2, MJPEG, DVB or HDTV capture devices. With appropriate hardware, MythTV can control set top boxes, often found in digital cable and satellite TV systems.
Program Guide Data in North America is downloaded from Zap2It.com, a subsidiary of Tribune Media Services. This free service is called DataDirect, and provides MythTV almost two weeks of scheduling information. Program Guide Data in other countries is obtained using XMLTV. MythTV uses this information to create a schedule that maximizes the number of programs that can be recorded if you don't have enough tuners.

Other modules in MythTV include:

MythArchive - create and burn DVD's from MythTV - binary file
MythBrowser - A web browser for MythTV
MythGallery - Image gallery/slideshow add-on module for MythTV
Mythgame - Emulator & PC Game frontend module for MythTV
