music organizer

[gaillard]

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if anyone knew of a music organizer that would read wavpack files and be able to tree them per album or artist or "track artist" or any other custom tag.

trying to make the linux switch and foobar is really got it all with its album list. Anything similiar? i've tried all the major ones but none of them seem to let you specify WHICH tag to put in a column or in a tree

thanks!!

would this (http://gnomefiles.org/app.php?soft_id=996) be any good? it needs mono packages, btw. or you could try amorak, but its a bit clumsy and unstable.

ya i tried both of those, unfortunately neither support sorting anything by custom tags that arn't standard like "track artist." I just think this is ridiculous. I might have to drop linux because i work on a pc all day and not having music because i can't browse music by my tags is ridiculous. foobar does this all with such ease, so its not a coding problem... its just the programs here in linux don't let you specify your own tag to sort by. why not??

thanks for the help though. btw is there anything i can emulate foobar by instead of wine as columns ui is messed up in wine (no hack at the moment)

well try some of these then:
http://gnomefiles.org/app.php?soft_id=1052
http://gnomefiles.org/app.php?soft_id=788 (for a winamp type app)
http://gnomefiles.org/app.php?soft_id=1033

aks the foobar dude to port or realease the source? many of the plugins are allready opensource. Maybe this plugin you're refearing to is also. mail the amarok developers and point it out to them or program it yourself. Foobar is in windows my favorite music app as well. Thanx to the huge number of plugins and custumibilty. It's a non profit app. So why the hell isn't it opensource? I want foobar!!

well thanks for the links complex. I tried the first one and yes it is exactly what i want except for the fact that it doesn't support wavpack. but it has tons of options for customization of how things are sorted and such but none of the options are changeable@!! why??? i mean it has bitrate, album, disc, channels and all these things i don't use when i just want to specify my own!

man this seems so obvious but i guess not. btw how did you find those???

does anyone here run foobar in vmware with success??
