Description: GUI Frontend for MP3 Encoder Gogo
Thanks To:

What is it?
GoGo Gadget is a GUI frontend to the mp3 encoder called GoGo.
Some Instructions:
1)Make sure that you have the gogo application in /boot/home/config/bin or the
path to it in your PATH environment variable otherwise it won't work. Also it has to be named "gogo"
2)You can use Marco Nelissen's CDDA-FS to mount your Audio CDs on your desktop. You can get it
from his web page at http://www.xs4all.nl/~marcone/be.html.
3)Drag the wav files onto the file list view.
4)Type in or Drag and drop the directory where you want to save the files into the "Save In" entry field.
5)Select the different options.
6)Click on the encode button and sit back.
How to apply tags:
After you have all your files added, you can change the mp3 ID3 tags for the files each one at a time or in groups.
Note you will need to switch to the "MP3 Tags" tab before reading on.
To change the tags for a SINGLE file, select the audio file you want to modify the mp3 tag for. Enter the relevant information into the
appropriate fields and then click on the "Apply Tags" button.
To change the tags for MULTPLE files at the same time. Select multiple files in the list by either using clicking and holding down
the SHIFT key to select multiple adjacent files, or hold down the "Windows" key or right "Control" key for non adjacent files.
Next enter the relevant info into the ID3 tag fields and check the boxes that you want to ONLY apply for those files. So if you want
to change the genre of all the files to be "Classical", select the files, select the genre, make sure only the "Genre" checkbox is
selected in the box to the right of the ID3 tag fields and click apply. This will set only the Genre ID3 tag for each of the selected file.
This is handy when you want to modify only the comment, genre, year, etc.. tags for specific files without overwriting the artist, song
title, etc...
Known problems or bugs:
- Give the user an option to hide/show certain columns.
- Make things more configurable.
- Add some error checking to see why gogo did not encode.
- Scripting.
- Email me at derhally@desertnights.com for any
features you would like to see.
- NOTE: If something doesn't work right, run GoGo Gadget from the terminal and look at the text it prints out. That might
be useful.
Fixed/implemented in version 0.6:
- Added MP3 ID3 tag support.
- Added MP3 ID3 tag attribute support.
- Added option to create directory with the same name as the album name in the output directory.
- Added option to search and get audio cd files from audio CDs using cdda-fs.
It will fill in the mp3 ID tag fields for Artist and Album automatically as long as the CD was already looked
up in cddb.
- Added button to select the output directory through an open dialog box.
Fixed/implemented in version 0.5:
