New music player - Exaile!

[Bogart]

Just installed 0.2b5 and it's looking sweet. It's great that you added this feature to control the volume with the scroll wheel over the trayicon

I still couldn't solve the Wikipedia proplem, though. I have gnome-python-extras package installed (that's why I can use the trayicon) but when I look at the information of a song the wikipedia tab doesn't show and I get this message:

gnome-extras not available. Not showing artist or album information

I use Arch Linux, which installs the original package with the original name (unlike Ubuntu that splits it into 4 packages and changes their name), so maybe that's the problem? I have all the libraries needed I think.

Thanks for your great work !

After trying all the usual suspects, I found that Exaile is the only one besides Amarok that properly indexes my collection, and it runs very well Great work!!

I get this error (and I'm using xubuntu dapper)
is this about the libgstreamer0.10-plugins-good? I think I couldn't find t in repositories. Instead tried to use debian packages but couldn't. anyone can help? I know libgstreamer0.10-plugins-good is in here:
http://packages.debian.org/unstable/...0-plugins-good
but cannot install from there :S

Try editing ~\.exaile/settings.ini and change ossink to alsa. Worked for me.
Hope this helps.

quick question...does anybody know if exaile does the fading out like when you would quit amarok it would fade out the song currently playing, it's not super important but it makes for a wonderful effect and i was wondering if we could expect to see that in exaile?

this music player is amazing man, props to you only thing that could be fixed a little is the lyrics function it only seems to work sometimes could maybe add a function like the cover art function to type in what u want to search for thanks for this program!

I think this will soon replace Quod Libet I have. Serves me great so far. Any idea of getting this into repository?
