| VortexBox是基于Fedora的Linux发行，它将一台没在使用的计算机转变为一台易于使用的音乐服务器或电唱机。一旦VortexBox加载
好，它能自动从CD唱片转换出FLAC和MP3文件、对文件进行ID3标记、下载封面图样。VortexBox之后便能使这些文件服务于网络媒体播放软
件。音乐文件也能以流媒体形式运送到Windows或Mac OS X操作系统。 Andrew Gillis has announced the release of VortexBox 1.5, a Fedora-based Linux distribution that can turn an unused computer into an easy-to-use music server or jukebox: "We are pleased to announce the release of VortexBox 1.5. As always our goal it to make VortexBox work with any media player. The recent release of iTunes 10 does not work with the old VortexBox DAAP server. We took this opportunity to replace the DAAP server in VortexBox with a better one. The new DAAP server not only works with iTuens 10 but it can server FLAC files to iTunes by encoding them as WAV files inline. This reduces the need to keep a mirror of your music files in MP3 format. We also updated the latest Squeezebox server and added a control panel to control the services on VortexBox. Thanks to everybody who helped with features and bug fixes for this release." Here is the brief release announcement. Download (MD5) the installation CD image from here: vortexbox-1.5.iso (595MB). |
