Thanks for that, r__hughes. It didn't occur to me that Lame might also do the ID3s. Duh. The version pre-installed here in Xenial Puppy 64 is "LAME 64bits version 3.99.5" I already use lame to cook my WAVs into mp3, from a Python script, so I should be able to integrate the tagging directl...

@Bushbuck Try this version of easytag on xenialpup64-7.5, it works wonderfully for me: easytag-2.2.6-x86_64.pet 248 kb MD5: a383d5e0a862ff2d2f0d59be1badf096 The deps are: id3lib, taglib, wavpack available from ppm if necessary, but they are already in xenial64-7.5, so were not needed. That looks li...

I'm trying to install EasyTag, to adjust ID3 tags. ( --> http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=1002094#1002094 ) Configuration is Distro: xenialpup64 7.5 Window Manager: JWM v2.3.7 Desktop Start: xwin jwm Development: Bash: 4.3.42 Geany: 1.27 Gtkdialog: 0.8.4 Perl: 5.22.1 Python: 2.7.12 Yad: ...

Attempting to install MP3 tag editors recently, I've had a "No space on device, exiting" type of error. Being an ex-programmer (and guess what of, dear readers... but one has to eat), I tried changing the place it downloaded to from root (where there was lavish space anyway) to /mnt/sdb1 T...

Neither of them installed successfully. I seem to have a PPM problem (It says "No space on device, exiting") so maybe I had better start a new thread. This ID3 thing is only mildly irritating, because in future I can tag all the day's capture with DeaDBeeF now I know what I need to do. Spe...

Thanks, disciple. I'll try Easytag, then.

Time stamps are one of those things I took for granted, until they were messed up.

This one is a bit of a "first world problem", but I'd be interested in your suggestions. I got a new MP3 player (more space), and unlike my old one, which would happily list tracks by alphanumeric raw filename, it really needs everything to be tagged up to the hilt, with ID3 V2. Fair enoug...

Thanks, cthisbear and mike.

Maybe it's not such a bargain after all.

A local shop is selling Archos 140 Cesium at a good price, so I'm tempted.

It's got Windows 10 on by default, though. I'd rather use Puppy most of the time, preferably a recent 64 bit one.

Has anyone tried this model with Puppy? Ideally, I'd like to boot it off a Puppy USB stick.

Thanks, Mike, that's exactly what I needed. It's better (more flexible) than the old method. Will mark the thread as solved.

I only use a small range of the special characters, so will also be making a list.

Back in Tahr Puppy 64 6.0.5, you could get an acute-accented e, by typing "Alt Gr ;" (which generated nothing on screen), and then "e", which generated the accented e glyph. Various other keys near the semicolon switched on other accents and ornaments, in the same way. If I remem...

Thank you, woodenshoe-wi!

An old 32-bit edition had the ability to move the header columns, and I didn't like the way it disappeared in the 64-bit ones.

Now I have Xenial Puppy64 plus a sorted-out ROX filer, perfect.

That's interesting.

I'll have a play with that, tomorrow. Off to bed for me (UK) though.

I think that's probably the thing, Oscar. I'll try that, thanks.

[Edit] Success! Thanks again.

I've got a script written in Javascript, first line is
#!/usr/bin/env node

Does anyone know the name of what I need to install, to make this run? When I type "javascript" into PPM, I get a long list of things.

Just noticed that re-booting zeroed the byte counts for both the session and the month. Thanks for the help. The script gets the usage numbers for the etho connection. BitMeterOS installed, but didn't seem to do anything when I ran it. The BT "usage" page says it is unlimited, but doesn't ...

Interesting stuff from jafadmin and Mike. I will try them.

I've just got a wired broadband connection (replacing a 3G dongle). I ought to be able to use Xenial Puppy now ( ...or the latest Slacko - decisions eh?)

The old dongle didn't work with either of them.

Ah, I wondered what netmon_wce was, OscarTalks.

I will try vnstat, drunkjedi.

Thanks.

Thanks, OscarTalks.

I edited those, but it didn't update the UI. Maybe it's cached somewhere. Do you know what the display program in the status bar is called?

Does anyone know which file these figures are stored in?

After I log out (from a fixed connection in Tahr64 6.0.5), and log back in again, I see a cumulative number.

It's useful for the per-month number to be cumulative, but I'd like the per-session to start from zero.
