DJAqua RPM

If you use Linux and the music jukebox Rhythmbox, here is DJ Aqua, a plugin that will announce the artist and title of a track before and after it plays. It uses Speech Dispatcher for speech, so a working installation of that will be necessary.

• » rhythmbox-djaqua-20090708-1.fc11.i586.rpm - Fedora 11 RPM
• » rhythmbox-djaqua-20090708.tar.gz - Source code

UPDATE:

If you have installed Speech Dispatcher and you don't hear anything from DJAqua or when running spd-say on the command-line, perhaps it is not able to output sound in your session.

If it connects to alsa at system startup, or if speech-dispatcher isn't setup to run by default (like on Fedora 11) you might want to do this

• Set 'AudioOutputMethod "pulse"' in /etc/speech-dispatcher/speechd.conf (the line should exist with alsa instead of pulse, and it might be commented out)
  
• Create a Startup Applications (System > Preferences) entry with the command speech-dispatcher -d -P /tmp/sd.pid for your session.

 Then, when you login, speech-dispatcher will start and try to connect to the running pulseaudio daemon, which will be the one for your session.  Try spd-say again, and if it works, then so should rhythmbox's DJ Aqua.
