Bery's AudioTron Page

Welcome to my very own AudioTron web page. I've put this page up to show off my wares, of course, so check this out:

Setup
- Mac OS X / AudioTron Setup Instructions
  This page tries to cover just about every step in the process (short of connecting the cables) to get your AudioTron working with your Mac.
AppleScript / Applications
- iTOC - The AudioTron TOC generator for Mac OS X
  This AppleScript Studio application outputs a TOC file (atrontc.vtc) based on the iTunes database.
- AppleScript to Export an iTunes Playlist to M3U format
  This script outputs a m3u format playlist capable of being read by the AudioTron (or any other PC-compatible MP3 player such as the Archos jukebox). It converts the Mac path names to PC-style UNCs such as \\SERVER\SHARE\ or C:\PATH replacing the Mac-style colon (:) separator character with the PC-style backslash (\).
- AppleScript to Cleanup Tags and Filenames of tracks in iTunes
  This script replaces special characters in tags and filenames with a close equivalent so that the files will be recognized by the AudioTron.
MP3 Tools
- MacMP3Gain
  This application is used to normalize the volume of MP3 files in a single folder. It is an AppleScript Studio application which wraps the command line program mp3gain (see below) for the less techincal Mac users.
- mp3gain (command line)
  - mp3gain133mac.tar.gz - mp3gain 1.3.3 source & compiled Mach-O executable. This tool is used to normalize MP3 files. This was built under Mac OS X version 10.2 (Jaguar). I normally used this in album mode with the command line looking like this:
```
mp3gain -a -c -q *.mp3
```
    For more information on mp3gain, check out the mp3gain web page.
  - mp3gain131mac.tar.gz - mp3gain 1.3.1 source & compiled Mach-O executable. (Previous version built under 10.2)
  - mp3gain104.tar.gz - mp3gain 1.0.4 source & compiled Mach-O executable. This was built under Mac OS X version 10.1.5 and is here for compatibilty reasons.
Server Tools
- Samba File Extension Mapping VFS Module which allows for a Samba server to map file extensions on the server to different ones to be seen by the client (such as an AT) and to run a server-side conversion command when the client reads the file. This is an addition to Samba 2.2.7 which allows other file formats to be decoded on the server and played on the AT. This is not something I will be using a lot, but it was a fun project for me.
Perl Scripts
- at_weather.pl - Perl script to display weather forecast on the AT's display
- at_play_radio.pl - Perl script to play a web radio station
- at_play_random_jazz.pl - Perl script to play random songs from Jazz genre
- at_stop.pl - Perl script to stop the AT and clear the playlist

Also, you should visit the Mac OS X / AudioTron Page for more details on using your Mac and AudioTron together. For a lot more information and links to just about everything for the AudioTron, check out the AudioTron Links page.
