- Details
Noiseclock is designed to summarize the amount of time, in any combination of days, minutes, hours, and/or seconds, needed to play a given file or directory of files. It supports any of the sound formats supported by TagLib (http://developer.kde.org/~wheeler/taglib.html), which are currently MP3, OGG, and FLAC compressed files.
Initial work on noiseclock took place during April and May of 2004, and the current release (version 1.1) was made on June 4, 2004. There is every possibility that noiseclock will compile correctly onwhatever unix veriant you choose. However, it relies on glibc filesystem calls and it is not known whether it will compile under Cygwin or other Windows environments.
- Installation
For most systems, issuing 'make' and then 'make install' as root in the source directory should install the program perfectly. If your environment uses /opt for local packages rather than /usr/local, change the LOCAL variable in the Makefile accordingly. An i386 RPM are available for environments using the RPM Package Manager at http://www.postreal.org/noiseclock . Compiling on MacOS X has proven somewhat difficult, but some sample compiler options are given in the Makefile and may work for your system.
