URL Snooper.
Excerpt from main page: "Many links to streaming audio and video that you come across on the web are hidden behind javascript or activex scripts. Because of this, it is sometimes very difficult to figure out the actual urls that correspond to the streams being played. URL Snooper provides easy solution to finding the URLs for all streams by by watching network traffic and identifying potential urls, especially streaming media urls."

Pulseaudio. Many websites (and linux distros) shit on it and say you "just need alsa", but alsa itself can't play sound from two applications at a time. It also has problems with recording sound from USB soundcards (despite any asoundrc "hacks", I still couldn't manage it), but Pulse allows that easily. It also allows to set different volumes for each application. I wasted too much time listening to these sites that said "you just need alsa man, pulse is dead! Here's an asoundrc hack that totally doesn't work!" but I finally just got Pulse and I'm glad.

I didn't fuck up anything aside from trusting all these websites. I used whatever is the default and that couldn't play from multiple applications nor record from a USB soundcard (it recorded from the microphone instead). Then I "learned" that various "asoundrc hacks" will solve that but they didn't, so I jumped to the only available solution.
Great that it works for you, but it didn't for me. Try recording from an USB soundcard with ffmpeg and tell me if it works with plain alsa (no, really, I'm interested).

No, you fucked it up. Alsa has always been able to play more than one application at a time. What alsa does not allow is independant application channel mixing.

Just installed linux mint and can't seem to get music bee working right though. Tried playonlinux and virtualbox. Virtualbox is almost working but the sound stutters and I gave it plenty of ram, which it isn't even using. Also tried all of the audio options in virtualbox. Guess I'll have to try another VM client or something.

say you have like 2500 songs with different formats(mp3/wma...) with different bitrates( from 48kbps to flac), and in there many songs are repeated. Similarity will find those songs by comparing waveform and you can delete the low quality ones and keep the best only. Also works for duplicate images.
