MP3 Encoder |
On this page you will find instructions on how to build your own mp3 encoder for BeOS.

Audio CD Filesystem (CDDA-FS) |
This filesystem add-on will allow you (if your CD drive supports it) to treat a regular audio CD as if it were a bunch of WAV files. You can copy the files, encode them to mp3, play them slower, faster, even backwards. Supports CDDB name lookups.
NOTE: in R4.5.2 mounting a CD from the tracker (using the mount menu from the right-button popup)
no longer works. I know about it. Be knows about it. There is currently no fix. You need to mount
from the commandline in a Terminal or use DriveSetup.
NOTE: do NOT install cdda-fs on R5! You can use the enclosed cddblinkd, but
no NOT install the filesystem add-ons!

PrefServer 0.5 |
The easiest-to-use, easiest-to-install system to manage the saving of settings/preferences.
Programmers simply use a small C++ class, which will communicate
with the server for them, and can then easily store and retrieve data.
The user has the power to decide how that data is physically stored.
These archives contains the server, sourcecode for the client side, and a
small demo app with sourcecode that shows how to use it.
This version of the server can be configured via a GUI, and has several methods of storing preferences,
write- and read-protection, and transaction logging.

mkhybrid 0.48a |
Command line utility to master hybrid ISO9660/Rock Ridge/Joliet/HFS
cdroms, allowing support for long file names on BeOS, unix, Windows and
MacOS, all with the same cdrom.
This is not a cd-burning program, it only produces a disc-image.

There is a newer
version, but this is somewhat Linux-centric, and didn't compile cleanly on BeOS. The newer version is
not substantially different from 0.48a, it is merely based on mkisofs 1.12,
which supports Joliet natively.

mtools 3.8 |
Use MSDOS disks without mounting and unmounting them. mtools 3.8 is a set of command-line tools that can be
used to replace the mtools 2.0.7 that are provided with PR2 and R3.
mtools 3.8 supports the FAT, VFAT and FAT32 filesystems
(meaning it does both tradional 8.3 filenames as well as long W95/WNT
filenames), and works with floppies, harddisks, Zip and Jaz
drives.
The sample mtools.conf configuration file didn't make it into the archive, but for
a Zip- or a Jaz-drive you can simply use:
drive Z: file="/dev/disk/scsi/050/raw" partition=4This is for preformatted disks. If you formatted the disks yourself, you'll most likely have to use "partition=1".
drive Z: file="/dev/disk/scsi/060/raw" partition=4
