Guayadeque Music Player

[nothingspecial]

This is your chance........ Take it! YOU can influence the development of this software!

There`s an awesome new music player out there.

Feature include -

- Supports mp3, ogg, flac, wma, aac, etc
- Label support. You can add as many labels as you want to any artist, album or track
- Cover fetching from google, amazon, last.fm
- Tag editor with Musicbrainz support
- Gapless play support
- Replaygain support
- Automatic Lyrics fetch and save to tracks
- Shoutcast or User defined radios support
- Podcasts support with automatic download with filters
- Dynamic/Static playlists
- Show Last.fm information
- Smart play mode that suggest music based on the actual track
- Customizable layout
- VU Meters
- Crossfading


and much more.

It`s under heavy active development and the developer is seeking feedback, feature requests, reports of bugs etc.

I`ve been using it as my default music player for a while now and I must say it`s the best music player I`ve come across yet.

Please bear in mind that this is a thread for discussing Guayadeque, please, please post any feature requests, bug reports etc to this thread (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1380811) so the developer does not have to check multiple threads.

Just wanted to add that to update to the current svn version you just need to do


cd guayadeque
svn update
make
sudo make install


Thanks VastOne

Done that twice already this morning. You are busy! :D

[Uncle Spellbinder]

Updated here as well.

Guayadeque is by far the best player I've seen on Ubuntu for LARGE libraries. Really like this player an awful lot!

Thanks for your help

looks good. but i think i'll stick to songbird.

Just for curiosity can you tell me the memory usage with this collection?

btw the same can be done in last.fm panel. You can hide the different sections by double clicling over the section title.

[Uncle Spellbinder]

Just for curiosity can you tell me the memory usage with this collection?

CPU usage hovers between 2% and 7%. Toipping out at 10% every now and then.

This is a very good player just need to support devices, rip CDs, and write to my MP5 player, and of course link songs to youtube and it will be as good as Atunes with less resources.

[Elfy]

I like the look of it - but how do you import a playlist :)

Can't find how to do that anywhere ...

Installled from svn not the deb a short while ago.

This looks very interesting, nice clean interface. (I wonder if it's in the Arch repos??? I'm posting from work so will check later...)

Where do you see it going in the future - any plans for ipod sync support?

Good luck with the development!

This is MUCH lighter and better than Songbird. I have one issue though: when you play a song from an album, it doesn't continue playing the album. It plays a random song instead. Is there a way to change this?

[Eisenwinter]

I haven't actually tested out the program, but from the screenshot, it looks way too bloated for me.

I want my music player to display artist and track names, and play music.

It depends what you mean by bloated. This is feature rich, but light.

Or you could use cmus, I`ve been using it for years. Guayadeque has finally led me back to the gui.

[piousp]

Will there be a QT port? :P

I'm installing it right now

I do use cmus.

I`m afraid not.

I could be doing it wrong though. Like I said, I don`t use playlists.

[corney91]

Looks good :) It seems very, very similar to gmusicbrowser, except slicker, from my minute-long first impression though... I'll explore a little more in the morning because I'm exhausted at the minute but I like the randomly fill playlist feature, although admittedly I've not played any songs yet :p

[suprman2020]

After using this for a day, this is probably one of the best music players I've used in Ubuntu. Its amazing how little resources this program uses. 22 Mib for a almost 6000 track library. One last question, is there a way to sort the albums alphabetically instead of by year?

If you are using the deb from sourceforge : In preferences there is an option to sort the albums. You can select Alphabetically, by Year or Yeas descending.

If you are using it from svn version : Right click over albums and select ordering -> by name

[nothingspecial]

A ppa has just become available, see post #1.

[Elfy]

Ok - been playing about and I have lost the filters ;)

Anyone know how to get them back

Under the player - the section with what`s playing now and what`s coming up - whare the filters were........ Double click :D

[Elfy]

I had tried that - nothing - possibly because I've been playing about with things - it looks like this at the moment - any clues?

[nothingspecial]

Only what I said before, but you don`t seem to have the same space to click on as I do.

I kind of thought you`d be playing some sort of Gong derivative though.

P H Pixies of the world unite ;)

well I am sure I will find out somewhere and somehow - I have the rest of the time I use it for :)

Let me know if that dont work. Sorry but all gui changes are now a work in progress not finished and there are details still to solve

Thanks

I gave this a spin.

The interface is clunky and is unusable unless the window is at or close to the full screen's resolution (I'm using 1440x900).

The interface is clunky and is unusable unless the window is at or close to the full screen's resolution (I'm using 1440x900).As has been mentioned, the GUI is a work in progress. But I do agree that some resizing is necessary.

[nothingspecial]

Any more willing testers out there?

This is a chance to get involved in a top notch open source project and actually influence the finished product.

[Uncle Spellbinder]

This is a chance to get involved in a top notch open source project and actually influence the finished product.

Couldn't agree more. The developer, anonbeat, is fantastic at implementing suggestions. A developer who truly listens to those testing. Surely everything suggested won't make it to the finished product, but the fact that some suggestions made it thus far says a lot about the developer.

Head over to the Guayadeque Music Player Test Thread (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1380811) and join us!

[nothingspecial]

You need to ????????

[mister_k81]

I just downloaded and installed this from the PPA, and I have to say that I like what I see so far.

True, the interface is a bit clunky on default, but after playing around with it a bit, I managed to find a layout that works well for me (see attachment). It's also missing some features, like being able to sync to my iPod Touch (like Rhythmbox can), the ability to show album artwork/ music notifications when minimized to the system tray, nor does it have an equalizer (but then again, not many Linux music players have one). But since this is a work in progress, it is very easy to look past those things.

This is a great light weight music player with some nice features, It could end up being a permanent replacement for Rhythmbox for me. Nice work.


EDIT: after a little more use, it turns out that this does have an equalizer with presets. Nice! Scratch that off my wish list. ;)

[Luke has no name]

Help! Revision 633 took away my "Now playing"/Control window! I can't find anything to fix it. Last known working revision was 631, for me.

Therefore, I deleted the sources and rolled back to revision 631 ("svn co -r 631 <rest of command>" for those interested)

EDIT: Before rolling back,
-Close the program
-delete your non-.db files (not folders) in ~/.guayadeque/
-Restart. GUI and preference settings will be reset, but your music db won't have to be reloaded.

EDIT:
Do what Anonbeat says below. Heh.

[anonbeat]

Sorry. Im trying to fix all this issues with the layouts

Thank you for your help on testing

[OutOfReach]

I installed from the ppa, and I must say it's pretty good.
I have 2 suggestions though:
- Automatically update the library when the library paths change? Not really a big problem but it'd be nice
- System tray icon? It'd be nice to have it out of your way when you're not using it

Otherwise, it has potential. But I must agree with the clunky interface problem, the interface needs to be a bit more simplified IMO

Man, I installed this music player yesterday from PPA, when I was looking for some good music player to remove the buggy Exaile, and to leave aside the heavy Banshee, and I was really impressed with Guayadeque. It is a wonderful music player.

My congratulations to the creator. Well, I liked a lot, but I miss something in the music player as an option to configure the download of covers, because I don't know how to download covers automatically, and also the lack of integration with the Ubuntu OSD notifications. Maybe it already exists in the player and I didn't find, so I hope someone can give me a hand with this, because I'm a little lazy.

And one last thing. I have 2 questions about the lirycs. When the player is to download a letter, it is automatically integrated with the music file, or I need to do something to integrate the lirycs in mp3? And I see a button near the drop-down menu on lirycs tab, and I don't know what that button is for, because the button is always disabled...

Congratz again for the great work, and sorry for my bad english. LOL

There is an option to auto download covers but its not like what I think you suggest. I think you are talking about a way the player to download covers when a track is played and no cover found. I will note it as feature request.

About the notifications I will add it soon.

About Lyrics, if you want it to be saved to files you need to check the Preference 'Save lyrics to audio files' in Library preferences page

You probably have it already enabled and this is why you have this button disabled. Because its handled automatically. Let me know if its not the case.

Thank you for testing guayadeque and let me know any bug, feature request or simply a comment.

[Pifilatakanemu]

look's good at the first sight, i'll try it.

if you are looking for features: check out foobar2000, I still miss hits cute little player, it's a shame it is not available for linux. anyway, there are a couple of extensions for foobar that really are helpful, e.g. :


syncing a playlist with a folder
upnp
...

what i loved most is the lightness of it, so keep an eye on that! This is really an important aspect as other players totally fail when handling big libraries.

anyway, keep up the good work!

Excellent player. I have only one question: it supports ReplayGain? I can't find anything about it.

Yes supports replaygain but only in read mode. It reads tags and set volumen acording to the tags

Every time I change the song the CPU load rises up to 120% (1,6 Dual Core) and get's back after a couple of seconds. Is this a bug?

There is a composer field in the latest version. In the tag editor as well, which you don't always see.

Yeah, now I'm gettting all kinds of errors trying to get taglib going.

Hello Carlos I have been looking at the problem and seems something was wrong. I tested this long ago and it was working but after you told me I rechecked and there was a problem. Finally I think I fixed it but I need you to check updating to latest svn revision 693.

Please let me know if its still not following volume tags. Guayadeque prefers track tags over album tags but will use album if tracks tags are not present.

Thank you for your bug report

@nothingspecial

Hey...I just stumbled upon this thread and was surprised...So many additional questions and ideas I was unaware of!

Why not propose to the admins here to merge this thread with anonbeats?

[nothingspecial]

I have thought about it, and even pmd anon about it but in the end I felt it might generate more testers, being in the cafe. Aslong as there are just 2 threads and no others in Desktop environments for example :-\" :D
anon can handle it, although he (and I) try to nudge feature requests, bugs etc to the original multimedia thread.

I put that in Desktop Environments with the blessings from anonbeat before I posted because that is where the artists tend to hang out and we agreed it would be a better area for the request.

You may want to check with anonbeat again as his workload seems to be getting out of control and having two locations to keep track of may add to it....

Just a thought, and again I did not know this was here so I could not glean any of the great info here. I never thought to look for another G-Que thread...:D :popcorn:

Its true that check two threads are more work than a single one. Also I think its better for other users to keep all related to bug reports, feature requests and so in the other thread. Keep this to let ppl know about it and to help ppl installing or doing this or things like this.
Just my thought

When you say "Shoutcast support" does that mean "built in Broadcast "(with mic) support ?

[VastOne]

When you say "Shoutcast support" does that mean "built in Broadcast "(with mic) support ?

No. It means a very good connectivity to radio from Shoutcast and the majority of it's genre

[nothingspecial]

When you say "Shoutcast support" does that mean "built in Broadcast "(with mic) support ?

You could request it. However the developer is fixing bugs for a milestone release rather than adding requests atm.

Also it is worth remembering (I`m pretty sure of this) that the prime purpose of this player is to be fast and lightweight even with huge music collections and anything that detracts from this will not be implemented - I think.

Please make feature requests here (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1380811)

I agree ...... in part, however I kind of think it helps in someways.

My grandfather was a surveyor.

He used to go around in crazy clothes with a "ZZTop beard", long grey hair and a crazily painted old Rolls Royce. (He was very good at his job btw)

I asked him once why he liked to look like that. He said, people don`t remember blokes (guys) in suits. When someone who has used me before or has seen me and knows what I do, needs a surveyor, they`re more likely to say

-What about the one with the crazy car and the long hair - than

-what about the one in the boring suit

Nothingpecial, great story about your grandfather...I would love to meet him and pick his brain on a few things...

After all we have read and all that has been posted at OMG! on the name subject, I am still unclear as to how to pronounce it. G-Que is very easy to recall and to tell others about, of course if you cannot pronounce it you have to come up with something...My point is this, Amarok, Exaile, Winamp Songbird all have emphasis as a brand that worked in their titles. I agree it does not matter what the name is if you have a superior product, but I am really concerned with the amount of people who have flat out rejected trying G-Que because of the name. I know this is a very idiotic reason, but it is real...](*,)

What is the solution? I do not know...But I do know that anonbeat loves the name Guayadeque and since we are so global, a name is just as important in one place as in another. Branding is important, it ties into marketing in so many ways...I want more than anything for anyone on a linux box to give G-Que a ride to see it's many qualities, but I really do not know how many people will give Guayadeque a chance when they see it in the software center or in Synaptic... In all the time I have been collecting MP3 files (14 years), I have never heard of Media Monkey or Foobar... I AM SURE THAT I HAVE, but I never associated either as an mp3 player. It just does not make sense to me that either is remotely connected to music.. But I have heard so much about their features compared to G-Que and how great they are, I wonder how I could have missed them...

I just hope Guayadeque does not fall into that category...I also hope others will join in on this discussion and bring their views to the table..

I know a certain Uncle who will be with us as soon as he reads my long blog of hot air masses 8)

I installed Guayadeque 2 weeks ago and I am loving it! I have over 120,000 songs in my collection and it handles them nicely. I have a Dell Precision 870 with 4 Intel Xeon processors and just 2 GB RAM and I am humming baby.
Not a developer or anything such, just a Linux user who converted from Microsoft a couple years back. I used Exaile, Amarok, Rhythmbox and this one is the best by far. the ease of use and simplicity, yet the speed and subtle bells and whistles make this bad boy one nice player.
Granted I am not into all these bells and whistles the younger cats are into, (all I want to do is play and catalog my music nicely) with your IPods and podcasts and such, but overall it is awesome. I have found my Gnome music player at last.

I messed up the settings in Guayadeque.
How can I have it reinstalled with all the default settings?

I need a fresh start. :)

Thanks.

[Uncle Spellbinder]

If you really want a fully clean slate for Guayadeque, I just delete the .guayadeque folder in my home directory and start Guayadeque. All settings are as if it's a clean, fresh install. You'll lose your library settings as well, so you'll need to start from scratch.


Further support questions should be in the "testing thread". The ink is in my sig.

Some guy told me he was going to do it but seems he is not having the time.
If you want to do it you need to 1st update the translation template


cd guayadeque
./buildt

then use the po/guayadeque.pot as the template for the translation

Maybe, but I happen to think the library browser is better. Check with the dev. I hope not. Nothing that will make this player slower.



#2 are you going to integrate into conky?

I think you have that the wrong way round. You have to integrate it with conky, or wait till someone else does.

Anyway, did you try it yet?

I think it`s the best music player for linux.

You?

When I first came across this player, one of my first thoughts and comments was that iPod support is a must.

Now, I`m perfectly happy listening with G-Que and managing iPods with gtkpod.

I wouldn`t want ipod support to slow guayadeque.

I may be wrong

@#1 Not anytime soon. I will add more features to the album browser and plan to make it more easy to filter what you want to find.

@#2 Im not going to add conky integration. But I dont think it should be too hard to do as using mpris interface you can access all player information needed to do it. If you have other supported player using mpris write it for guayadeque will be damn easy.

Thanks for your interest

Some thoughts:



It would be nice if there would be new images for the browser and the player for the standard "front/label" when there is none related to the song/album. Perhaps the designer of the new icon has an idea suiting his recent artwork?
What about a "file structure" panel to search the collection via the folder structure?
I'd love to be able to choose different colors for the highlighted titles etc. in Guayadeque. (My main one suits my needs for Ubuntu but looks rather odd in guayadeque.
Just to consider: What about "search as you type" in the library search?

About search as you type its implemented in the different listboxes. For example you can be at the artists listbox and start typing. That way you will start searching what you are typing.

Its not implemented in the search text entry.

There is a new place to request features.

Other users can vote for these ideas and the more popular the idea is, the more chance it has of being implemented.

Remember though, the prime goal of Guayadeque is to be fast, even for large music collections. Anything that slows it down, however popular, will not be implemented.

It is very difficult to keep track of the issues with several different places that anonbeat (the developer) has to trace and correct.

Anonbeat has asked for the very same thing on many occasions, it is up to nothingspecial to correct this instead of taking on the developers responsibilities.

I could see the need for this if there were no development or build going on, but we have one of the best hands on with us now so lets support what he needs.

The easiest solution and most absolute benefit to everyone involved is to merge this thread with the other one

Ok, after the latest Update my Guayadeque turned into something between bad German and English.

I surely appreciate the effort of the guy who made it but it's not exactly inviting to use Guayadeque with the German translation at this state. Could you make it available for translation without using it as a standard for the moment?

I know it's not very constructive as I am not able to improve the translation myself but I think most users would prefer the English version instead of a mixture with some serious misspellings.

Ok, after the latest Update my Guayadeque turned into something between bad German and English.

I surely appreciate the effort of the guy who made it but it's not exactly inviting to use Guayadeque with the German translation at this state. Could you make it available for translation without using it as a standard for the moment?

I know it's not very constructive as I am not able to improve the translation myself but I think most users would prefer the English version instead of a mixture with some serious misspellings.

;)

I dont know about german so I could not evaluate the quality of the translation. The translation is in the po/de dir of the project. If someone want to improve it do it freely and email me the result.

Thanks

Let's try to keep this thread on the general discussion aspect of Guayadeque and move help/support questions to the Test Thread (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1380811).

Just a thought. ;)

good idea, but in that instance it ought to say that comments about basic support are welcome there. It currently does not look to be the place to go if you cannot even get the thing running!

Why not? Support is support.

[nothingspecial]

In this case, I think Daveth posted his question in the correct thread.

The problem is due to the instructions for installation on Jaunty, that I have posted in #1 in this thread.

I agree that any support questions should be asked in the other thread, but if I have made an oopsy we don`t want to bother anon with it.

Looking at it now.

As far as the signature. My signature is in BBCode as this forum does not support HTML. If you would like it in HTML, just copy the links and have at it. ;)

Hello!

I made a prototype for control pictograms using the new Guayadeque icon as style marker. I'm interested in your opinion on these icons- do you think they'd fit in, are they clear and understandable enough etc.
Any ideas, advice and/or observations are welcome!
Some icons are still missing ('repeat one', for instance) but I will try and make those, too :)

I like it!

But...
... there is one thing I love about Ubuntu: It's uniform look. All programmes use the same iconset, so you have a homogene (?) "look'n feel".

IMHO there should be no obligation to use any set of symbols -how good they might be! But it would be nice as an option.

Btw: What about a default "cover"-image? It still can be improved a bit...

Another thing:

anonbeat, I think the name "tabs" fit better than "panels" for the radio, browser etc. panel, don't you think?

[Pifilatakanemu]

Although I have the "podcast"-tab/panel deactivated Guayadeque searches for podcasts on every start.

I'm not sure whether it uses a lot of resources, but if so, it would be nice to be able to deactivate the podcast, radio etc.

edit:

Has someone already proposed Guayadeque for inclusion in the Ubuntu repo?

They're beautiful! They'll clash with my Aqua theme, but they're beautiful.

[Mrmotinjo]

Thanks for the comments! I've sent the iconset to Anonbeat, and hopefully we'll see how it works out.

I agree with Flohmann even though the 'uniform look' of Ubuntu is in question because of the weird logo redesign, hehe, the choice of how the player looks should be left to the users.
The support for custom skins would definitely be nice in the future (and an option to leave the controls as they are by default in the near future, perhaps?) :)
I would also add that, in my experience, an unique visual identity can only be a good thing, especially in the field of media players :KS

Also, please note that the blue icons should not be blue by default, only when selected/activated.
I've expanded and tweaked the iconset a bit, too, and it should now include all the necessary icons for the player controls.

Here's a preview of the current iconset:

Hello again!

I had some spare time today, and have tried to make a squareish, single-bar, glass-covered fancy version of my iconset. It kinda fits in the current Guayadeque control layout, and of course it's only at concept level now, just wanted to show the idea to you guys and see what you would think of this option :)

Black may not be the final color, too.

Trying it out right now. It's pretty darn impressive! One thing I really don't like at all is that when you mouse-over a cover, you get to see a CD case with the cover. A CD case. Really? Ew.

I was going to bring that up, but it's a relatively minor issue. I really would rather see just the cover as well (sans the cd case). Perhaps a bit larger image as well.

You can change the cover of any song with album browser or editing the song.

You can also change the default cover by putting any jpg or png file you have in the directory of the music and that will be the default cover for all songs in that directory.

I think that's quite nice.

Although I don't use it regularly I believe that as far as the interface goes, those close buttons at the various elements need a change. They are ugly.

[Ruzbeh]

Another thing I like, another minor thing really, is the icon/logo. It's just plain good. Colorful, recognizable. I'm totally impressed with what I've seen so far, that I do want to help with the development (I'll post at the testing thread). There are so many players out there for Linux, I haven't tried many, but this is one of the very few pieces of software that impresses me with it's direction that it's just plain worth it to help out. I'm definitely gonna need iPod support though. If it did have device support, Guayadeque would easily trump Rhythmbox and Banshee, which I think is impressive considering Guayadeque is much younger.


I think that's quite nice.
I can understand why some people would appreciate it. I guess it could be made optional. Or maybe do something cool like, have that jewelcase overlay only for albums that are older than 1990, because in the 60s and 70s and so on it was all vinyl.

Posting another screen for people who wonder what it looks like:

Hi,

Great work, great player - light, quick, great looking... :) I installed it from the PPA yesterday and am still thrilled.

I've been using Listen for quite some time, but I think I'll default to Guayadeque from now on.

There is just one "feature request" that I have - after I search for the song (by name), I'd like to be able to select one of the search results and then automatically play/enqueue the whole album in which the selected song is.

Thanks, and, best of luck to the developer/team :)

[Pifilatakanemu]

There is a two step solution for your feature. Rightclick the song, select "Select -> Album" (I'm using the german version, it might be another expression) and then you have them all and can easily mark them and add them to your playlist.
If this is not satisfying feel free to open a feature request in the idea torrent (check signature)

I'd like to have a screenshot of Guayadeque within a dark theme for the german Wiki. It would be nice anyway to have a copuple of screenshots in order to demonstrate the flexibility of our beloved player. There is only one with the new look in the sourceforge gallery.

Thanks for the explanation regarding my feature request. I think what is already available is good enough. And I can't make myself create yet another account (on sourceforge) that I'll probably never use again... :)


Anyway, as for the screenshot...I'm not sure I understand what it is that you want. I know how to change layouts, but what do you mean by "dark theme"? How do i change themes in guayadeqe?

Been using it for a few hours now, this is really a fantastic piece of software. It's so fast! Easpecially for a program that is so feature-rich. Scrolls through my collection like a hot knife through butter, much faster than Rhythmbox/Banshee/Exaile etc.

Only wish I could listen to music continuously straight from my library, rather than having to add it to the playlist.

I think I just found a new default music player. :)

Also, the Smart Playlist feature is excellent. Once again, very fast! Keep up the great work on this amazing project.

Thanks again. It was great to find out that the feature was (more or less) already there. Another "plus" for the developer.

No problem :) Sadly, I find dark Ubuntu themes not to my liking, to say the least.

BTW, this is probably a "long shot", but since I dual boot with Windows, and spend about the same amount of time in each OS, I must ask: Is there any possibility of a Windows port?

[Ruzbeh]

I use iTunes when I'm in Windows. It's pretty similar.

Been trying it out over the past couple of days since finding that Songbird development for Linux is ceasing.

Must say I like it very much, especially how it handles album covers, much better than Rhythmbox or Banshee. It seems faster than Songbird and I like the varied sorting options. Album browser looks great too.

One question though - how do you delete a track or album from the library? I've got a bunch of mp3s that I keep but don't want in my library (like podcasts, audio books and radio documentaries). I've added them as I simply scanned the entire Music folder but now want to remove them.

Anyone?

Just a quick question - is iPod sync a planned feature of G-Que? I played around with G-Que a few weeks ago and liked it, but without iPod sync I coudln't give up Rhythmbox or Banshee (although I appreciate that not everyone needs or wants this feature, so maybe I'll just have to accept G-Que isn't for me... :( )

Guess without an ipod to test is hard for me to implement this feature. If i get enought donations I would like to buy one and add support for it.

Works well in xubuntu 10-04. Quite speedy. This, however, needs a nickname.

This player is doing well. I still prefer cmus for most of my casual listening, but when I need more features I use guayadeque now. Well done developers.

Oh and I met with 0 bugs the past couple of days that I've been using it regularly. I'm using the -svn from the ppa. Also the buttons give it that distinctive feeling. Well done again.

wow!

thank you so much! i'm really new at linux and the only thing that I found I didn't like at all so far was the music player I had and I've been trying to find a good one for a long time now! I love this new one! Although I agree the name is quite strange. maybe you can rename it 'Guaya'? :P

Mediamonkey is my golden standard for media management and this is as close as I've ever come with a linux app.

Just in case anyone is interested, I made a tiny conky script for guayadeque (really, really needs a nickname...).
It uses the resources from conky-colors (http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/CONKY-colors?content=92328) and looks like this;

I guess someone more knowledgeable could make a better version.

[motorcity909]

Quick question. Am I right in saying that the only way to add a new album(s) to the player is by rescanning the entire library, rather than just pointing it to the new folder or dragging the new tracks onto it?

Rescanning plays havoc with some album covers as in some of my album folders I've got other pictures (back covers, inside booklets, scans of magazine reviews) which the player decides to use as the album cover so I have to go through correcting them. Again.

Also, as per my earlier post (#217), this re-adds a bunch of mp3s I don't want in the library. Still can't see a way to delete files other than temporarily move them out of my Music folder, re-scan the library, then move 'em back to Music.

Like the player in all other respects
Dave

[Ian dewhurst]

As far as I am aware you can just update the library rather the do a complete rescan.
I had this problem also but I think it doesn't happen on an update.

[Ruzbeh]

I think you can just use GMP as a short-hand (although it looks a lot like 'GIMP' on first sight). No one says Windows Media Player, 'WMP' is used instead. GMP might work.

[Uncle Spellbinder]

Yep. Click Library in the upper left for the drop-down. The click "Update Library". Faster than a complete rescan and just as accurate.

By the way. For anyone needing help and support with Guayadeque, the testing and support thread is in the Multimedia & Video section. Quicker for support as this thread is general discussion and such. See link in my signature.

[Lysias]

Yes, GMP plays songs only from the playlist. There's also Smart Mode which adds similar songs to the playlist by utilizing Last.FM data. It's quite nice :)

[northwestuntu]

well that's a bummer. seems like a simple function to allow continuous playback through your library.

Thats the thing that annoyed tha hell out of me when using it.

It wouldn't continue playing through the library. I first had to drag it all into that playlist window beneath the track information before it would work, and then it was a mission to find anything to listen to.

Dealbreaker for me.

So I went back to Banshee :D:guitar:

I have it placed under the path, so I just add:


${execpi 5 guayCover}

to .conkyrc, where 5 is the update interval in seconds.
Alternatively replace guayCover with a full path.

I'll repeat that it's pretty rough, using fixed position of the images, so it might not suit you.
You'll also note it *requires* conky-colors, since it uses the cd icons from that.

Thanks for the conky script, apocalypse80. Though I don't have use for it myself I learned something new from it.

I have a couple of questions for Guayadeque users:

1) do you use labels and if so, for what purpose?

2) what kind of a layout do you use?

As for me, I don't (yet) use labels but if someone posts a good reason for using them, that may change ;)

My current layout is pretty much the default, I've just added the VU meter beneath the now playing area. I keep GMP maximised in order to better utilize the library.

I sadly have not much time to use Guayadeque but I can answer a few questions.

About the labels for me is a must! For example I have this labels among others : Ballads, Favourites, Favourites Oldies

For example you can have a track that has genre as Heavy metal but its a ballad and other that is Pop that also is a ballad. If I want to listen slow tracks I select this label and I can find all that tracks.
Same with the others.
You can put many labels to the same track, this way a track can be Ballad, Favourite, Favourite Oldies, By Female, 80s, etc

About my layout I use default + vumeters like you. Vumeters between player playlist and the player controls.

Hey,

wondering why Guayadeque is not in the repositories of Ubuntu?

YOU can take care of it.

There is procedure on this explained here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Contributing#Preparing%20New%20Packages

is there anybody who wants to help guayadeque in order to get more users, reputation and getting more awesome?


is there anybody willing to invest some time into it? anonbeat is busy making the dirty stuff, so he appreciates every support.



edit: hey Mint guys! I'm sure there is a way to include Guayadeque in Mint, too. Check it out!

And what about the other distros? I'm sure there are a lot of users that are still searching the best Linux player. They should find Guayadeque, too!

[Lysias]

Good idea, flohmann.


edit: hey Mint guys! I'm sure there is a way to include Guayadeque in Mint, too. Check it out!

Mint uses Ubuntu repositories, so if Guayadeque is added there, it's also available in Mint. But Mint also has a software portal (see here (http://linuxmint.com/software/?sec=category&id=165&release=6) for a listing of audio players) for some programs.

I made a .mint package (http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=91&t=2827) out of Guayadeque. The package adds the PPA repo and the key temporarily, installs Gdeque and any dependencies, and afterwards removes the repo. I think this .mint package can now be added to the software portal. I'll see about that. Though I'm not sure if I did everything right. But at least the package installed in Mint Fluxbox edition.

how do you keep the tracks playing in the library? it stops after 1 track? do you have to use the playlist to get continues play?

You can get continous playback but you have to play the album so it plays track after tarck

Hey anonbeat, Guayadeque isn't yet listed on Last.FM's page of Scrobblers: http://build.last.fm/category/Scrobblers

On the right hand side there's a link called "Submit yours". You can register yourself as the developer and Guayadeque gets more attention.

When you copy a playlist to a new folder could you have the option to just copy the mp3 files instead of putting them into individual folders?


Also, an issue with last.fm integration. When you enter your information there's no way to know if entering the details was successful. Perhaps it should check and confirm that the details are correct once you've entered them

Of course, just change the file pattern in the settings



btw: this thread is more about general discussion, the other one is for support/bugs and feature requests (even better: create an idea in the torrent!).
