System Monitor Default Shortcuts (Ctrl+Alt+Del / Ctrl/Shift/Esc)   forum
Written by fluteflute the 28 Feb 08 at 16:55. Category: System. Related to: Nothing/Others. New
On Windows pressing either Ctrl+Alt+Del or Ctrl/Shift/Esc brings up the Task Manager. If apps crash in linux many users will try these key combinations with no reward. Mapping these key combinations, by default, to the the Gnome System Monitor will help a large number of new users.

MySong Alternative (Generate Chords based on Mic Input)  
Written by fluteflute the 13 Mar 08 at 15:46. Category: Multimedia. Related to: Nothing/Others. New
(NB: I appreciate this is more of a FOSS issue in general than specific to Ubuntu but I think it should be allowed here.)

"MySong: Automatic Accompaniment for Vocal Melodies" has recently been announced by Microsoft.

http://research.microsoft.com/~dan/mysong/

There are many uses for such a program - as demonstrated in the video on that page.

MySong is not yet available, but it is commercial.

A linux free open source version would attract much attention, especially if we could get it out before Microsoft.

Multiple CD Album ripping - continuous track numbers  
Written by fluteflute the 7 Oct 08 at 17:54. Category: Multimedia. Related to: Sound Juicer. New
Whilst media players such as Rhythmbox are able to cope with the disc number metadata (and play tracks in the correct order), other devices/programs such as MP3 players which use sorted filenames play all the track ones, then all the track twos, etc.

With albums with multiple CDs I would like the track number vaules for the subsequent CDs to not start again at '1' but continue. This functionality would only be enabled when the value in 'disc' is greater than one. Then the previous CD's ripped files could be looked at to find the track number needed to start on.
