FORK CHANGES 2016-02-16 I made a few tweaks and fixes to libnetmd and netmdcli to be able to upload songs to a NetMD entirely from the linux CLI. The only closed part needed for this is an ACM-based tool to use the Sony codec for converting PCM WAV into ATRAC3, the compression used by NetMD. The tool can be found here: https://github.com/Treeki/atrac3tool The ACM codec can be found here: http://www.minidisc.org/atrac3.zip To use the tool, you must install the ACM codec into your system (Windows or Wine). Here's how to do it under Wine: https://www.winehq.org/docs/winedev-guide/mm-conf This script is an example how to batch upload MP3s and FLACs to a NetMD: https://gist.github.com/Lana-chan/5de2ee94ff47da256a73 PREREQUISITES qmake (you don't need the whole Qt stuff for the non-GUI parts, just qmake) glib (for the core library) mad (for MP3 transfer, can be disabled) libgcrypt (for PCM transfer, can be disabled) Qt (for the GUI) BUILDING This project uses the qmake build system to cooperate with the Qt Creator IDE. To compile in Qt Creator, just open md.pro. To compile at the command line, run qmake make Depending on the default configuration of your system, you will find the executables in the debug subdirectory, the release subdirectories or directly in the directories qhimdtransfer and himdtest. To disable the optional features, the following keywords are recognized in the CONFIG variable: without_mad -> disables MP3 support; you wont need mad without_gcrypt -> disables PCM support; you wont need gcrypt without_gui -> disables qhimdtransfer; you wont need Qt and sox So, the minimal configuration is built by using qmake CONFIG+=without_mad CONFIG+=without_gcrypt CONFIG+=without_gui
