Hello everyone, just making this thread to make my first post on ubuntu forums, to let you all know that im a total newb to ubuntu and semi newb to linux. but i love learning about it and trying to figure things out.

so anyways i love how simple 1by1 is a windows program which supposed to work under wine as found here

so basically i knew that the newest version of 1by1 1.64 doesnt work in wine and i couldnt find version 1.51 so after a ton of searching around for different programs i finally found v1.57 and installed it using wine and bingo 1by1 works. Currently i have zero issues with it i assume it plays all my music but i havent tested all versions of music format.

v1.51 here just found this link

Thanks for the locations for older 1by1 versions! Link for v 1.51 was down so I downloaded v 1.57. Seems to work fine.

Others coming across this thread:
Don't forget to put mpglib.dll in the 1by1 directory in order to play mp3s.

glad I found this thread; just love the simplicity of 1by1 but it didn't work with the latest version

thanks!

a linux program similar to 1by1 is Decibel Audio Player available at http://decibel.silent-blade.org/

[CharlieFoxtrot]

Good lead, genie! It's in the repositories. Trying Decibel now and it looks like a "keeper". Definitely would appeal to anyone who, like me, prefers a simple, straight forward mp3 player. Thanks!

[CharlieFoxtrot]

After messing with Decibel a bit, I found it a bit quirky. It scrambled the order of some tracks (without using the shuffle function) and although I could resort the tracks, reopening the folder redisplayed the tracks in the same scrambled order. That sort of defeats the purpose of a directory style player. Album icons would display only on some tracks within some folders.

I still prefer 1by1 via WINE. It has its own quirks under WINE, but I've grown to accept them.

The current Decibel version in the repo works very well! Great, I went searching for 1by1 on Wine, now I am enjoying Decibel: exactly what I like!

[CharlieFoxtrot]

You're right harmus. I tried Decibel again sometime after my last post and it works like a champ. I don't know what caused my problem with it at first but after I looked at it again, it worked beautifully. (It was most likely something stupid I was doing.) I should have posted an update but didn't (probably out of shame at being so stupid). I really should apologize to the author of this fine application.

Thanks for the "heads-up" on the new version. I will upgrade immediately.
