Re: New music player - Exaile!
Thanks for this great application: I love it. I love the dynamic playlist feature, it's great :)
Somehow I have a problem with album art: I have my covers as nameofthealbum-front.jpg in the album folder, so in the preferences for album art I put *front.jpg but it doesn't find anything. Is this normal? Maybe I'm doing something wrong.
I just have some feature suggestions:
- Replaygain support
- Read APE tags from mpc files
- Advanced tagging like in quodlibet (ex-falso)
- Multiple artist handling (album_artist field)
- Album mode like quodlibet (with cover at the left)
- Dynamic playlist: Include the possibility to include songs outside of my collection (using last.fm suggestions) I'm thinking sort of including last-exit player features into exaile.
- Possibility of saving searches as smart playlists.
If some of this is already possible, I'll appretiate if someone could point me in the right direction.
Thanks.
Re: New music player - Exaile!
it's great but i wish there was equalizer support [-( that's why i prefer beep-media-player :-|
Re: New music player - Exaile!
I'm running Exaile 0.2.6 on Xubuntu 6.10 and for some reason the tray icon doesn't show up. I remember it showing up with older versions of Exaile on older versions of Xubuntu so I don't know where the error lies. I have the option checked in the preferences but it changes nothing. I ran out of things to try. Any suggestions?

Re: New music player - Exaile!
OK, first of all, you've done a great job - congrats.
However, I have one big problem.
Quite a sizable chunk of my files are encoded in VBR AAC (not DRMed or anything like that, and they still end in *.m4a). They show up in the library (in 0.26, the most recent), but with filename only and no tags; their times all display as "-1:59" and when clicked on, they show up as playing, but refuse to actually play.
Opening Exaile in the terminal doesn't give any clues. Nothing out of the ordinary comes up.

You might try the SVN version for the tags. As far as playback, do you have the gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg package installed?
Re: New music player - Exaile!
Sorry, I forgot to mention that these files play without problems in Rhythmbox, Totem, etc. And I do have gstreamer ffmpeg support. I'll give SVN a shot.
Re: New music player - Exaile!
the only thin i don't like, and if I'm wrong please correct me, is that you can't get a list of all you music files you have to go by the artist, that's thats only thing i don't like.
edit: never mind I just figured it out, sooryy great prgram tho, gonna replace rythmbox for me i think.

I'm trying to test out the lastest svn. I compiled and install a package then when I go to launch exaile I get this.
Code:
boston@boston:~/Desktop/exaile$ exaile
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/exaile", line 2284, in ?
main()
File "/usr/bin/exaile", line 2274, in main
exaile = ExaileWindow(options, fr)
File "/usr/bin/exaile", line 96, in __init__
self.database_connect()
File "/usr/bin/exaile", line 861, in database_connect
self.db.check_version("sql")
File "/usr/share/exaile/xl/db.py", line 133, in check_version
row = self.read_one("db_version", "version", "1=1", tuple())
File "/usr/share/exaile/xl/db.py", line 264, in read_one

You'll have to wipe out your database and rescan. The schema has changed a lot... there will be a converter, but not until I think the schema won't change anymore.
Re: New music player - Exaile!
It's great. I was looking for an amarok for gnome. I'm going to test it strongly. For the moment works fine. I have just imported my music colection
(about 200Gb ogg and m3 mucic files):D
