mpdPup - Simplified MPD Music Server/Jukebox - v0.9.3

Looks alright to me Denis P, especially as it did the job!
Just wondering,
did you think that it was possible to add 16khz and 22khz or does the first zero switch mean that the lowest it would go was 44.1 khz?
I know it may be difficult to answer because you have returned the emu.

The reason is simple: "00" (two zeros) are intentionally WRONG - so that any sample rate that the E-MU "wakes up" with when it's turned on will show that the sample rates (of the currently playing song and the one written as "previous" in the E-MU sample rate file under /dev/shm) are always different, and the rest of the script (automatic adjustment) is always invoked... I think I had some problems without that solution...

So, it's just something I thought would take care of the situation when "/dev/shm/EMU-rate" file does not yet exist (when the computer is turned on), and the first song is e.g. in 24/192 (I think that the E-MU "wakes up" with sample rate 16/48 by default....).

As for other sample rates, the guy using it does not have any tracks with sample rates below 16/41, and in general does not listen to MP3 tracks (and those are usually in 320Kbps) - so there was no need to add any other sample rates.

The E-MU supports the following rates (with corresponding settings in alsamixer "Clock rate Selector"):

Code: Select all

Clock rate      Sample rate    "/dev/shm/EMU-rate" 
  setting                          shorthand code
    0               44100                44
    1               48000                48
    2               88200                88
    3               96000                96
    4              176400                17
    5              192000                19

For the record, I continue to enjoy this version of mpdpup.

I will likely need to move on to get to newer release, but as of this day, still enjoying it.

Thanks Ildose..

So do I. With my Alix 1, SOTM USB card and two linear power supplies I still think it is among the best quality music server out there. And I listened to many others including some that are sold for big bucks ...

Anyone out there who knows how to compile an upgraded version with latest alsa and mpd versions? I would be game to create that, but I am missing a bit of detailed knowledge on how to tackle something like that..

Here's another great fan and user of mpdpup! Sad to see there is no development anymore. I hope idolse is ok and in good health!? He has made a terrific piece of software. Together with the app mpad it's the best i know. It has given me many many hours of musical pleasure!

Hi Walter, good to 'hear' from you! This spring I stepped over to Raspberry Pi and Runeaudio. In my setup this bested atom-mpdpup.
Now i'm tinkering with Hummingboard-Volumio (but didn't yet succeed to mount the NAS).
I'm looking out to a real digital DIY kit like
http://hifimediy.com/amplifiers/ready-m ... -amplifier
It would be great to go from I2S to analogue in 1 step (no USB, no SPDIF, no DAC, just I2s to analogue in 1 chip!)
Have fun, all!

Hi all,
I am very sad that we have not seen Idolse in last months.
I have a problem but I think that it is very unlikely that I will find a solution.
There's anybody, please , that can guide me step by step in Brutefir installation and configuration with mpdpup?
I hope...

[multiblitz]

I have to say, I just tested volumio against mpdpuppy...Maybe it is the Software, maybe the different Hardware, but my Alix / USB-Card Combo has beaten the hell out of the raspberry / volumio Combo...all with the same High-End Dac and Amps.

[kocozze]

I know that this distro is dead far long time ago...bit is the best player i've heard!!!
I only Need to integrate brutefir in It!!! Can anyone help me with a step by step guide for newbye???

[kocozze]

Please...please....please...

Hi kocozze,

I've never used mpdPup and don't know anything about it. Perhaps others who might want to help are similarly ignorant. Noting that this is in the Derivatives Section, I looked at the first post hoping to find what Puppy it was based on. It didn't say. This thread is now on page 36. I'm not going to read 36 pages in the hope of finding that information. Perhaps, if you know, you could tell us. If you don't know, you could run PupSysInfo and then advise us regarding the kernel used, other information you think may be relevant to installing brutefir. If PupSysInfo isn't already installed, you can get it here: http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 411#579411. It's "No-Arch" so can be installed in any OS.

Does mpdPup use Wine? Just in case an XP version exists and is usable.
