Media is a Perl Script that creates .ram, .asx, and many other files. It uses kind of like a database to store the locations of your files. All you have to do is link to the script and the script does the rest. It also has a feature to block other people from linking to your media files.

The Jukebox allows you to manage a Realaudio music database content. With very little modification, it can be adapted to support any other type of media. It current features include: Database distributed on multiple files, Support for peering content sites and load balancing, and Database manager.

If you offer media files on your site, you will probably have noticed that you have to create .ram-files or something similar. These .ram-files are kind of a "wrapper" for the real file. They are downloaded by the browser and given over to the player who then starts downloading and playing the real file. With lots of different media files, such "wrapper files" can start to be a real nuisance. mediawrap spares you this additional work by transparently handling media files. After installing mediawrap, you just link your media files as your normally would and mediawrap will take care of them. mediawrap supports RealMedia (.ra, .rm) and MPEG-III (mp3) files at the moment, but can be easily adapted for a lot of purposes (even non-multimedia files).

This article is a complete tutorial showing how to create your own streaming web clients, that can be used to stream (play while downloading) multimedia files such as mp3.

MyNapster Webclient is a web interface to the MyNapster/Napster/Opennap Networks that allows you to download songs via Web.

RipIT allows you to create MPEG-1 Layer 3 (MP3) audio files from an Audio CD. It is a console based front-end, written in perl, for 3 programs: xmcd for CDDB lookup, cdparanoia for ripping the Audio CD tracks, and bladeenc or lame for encoding the MP3 files. Main features include: The program will do the following without user intervention: Gets the Audio CD Album/Artist/Tracks information from CDDB (using xmcd), Rips the Audio CD Tracks (using cdparanoia), Encodes the MP3s, id3 tags the MP3s, Creates an M3U file, and bladeenc or lame for encoding the MP3 files.

This is a random midi player written in Perl, it will play a random tune every time someone visits a page with the script on it. The program reads from a flat text database containing the midi URL and title. The script also supports a very customizable output. (Requires SSI)

Designed for RealAudio or RealVideo-based websites, this program lets your visitors create their own song lists which can be saved at your site or their hardiscs. By clicking the generated RAM files, visitors can listen to the selected songs anytime continuously. RAM filenames are automatically assigned but can be renamed by visitors. The files older than X days will be automatically deleted. Script can be easily modified for some other similar file-creation purposes.
