New music player - Exaile!

[synic]

Thanks

There's actually already a tray icon, you just have to enable it in the preferences (wx design rules say you should have it disabled by default).

I emailed the leoslyrics admin, but never got a response - so yeah, if you have the info, that'd be great.

The rest will eventually be in there

very nice thanks! just one thing......is there any way it can use streamripper to rip streams? youve done a great job of it.

Perhaps because you're running it as root? I'm really not sure.

I cant import all of my library. I get this:

gareth@ubuntu:~$ cd exaile && ./exaile

Which is a shame because the interface seems really nice.

I've tried to send you the info but it bounces back (email)

I've added you to MSN, but your offline...

Great work! With Dapper getting ready for release very soon, it would probably be a good idea to port it over to gstreamer 0.10 instead of 0.8.

[ShanghaiTeej]

Love the player...

I was just wondering when podcast support might be available. Otherwise, I'm enjoying the work! Much Thanks.

[zenwhen]

Great work! This is the first player other than MPD that handles my music library without crashing. I happen to really like the interface too.

[yb1011]

Thanks synic! I really like this and hope you keep this up for Dapper

PS- Guys... is starting the player via the terminal the only way to run it? I cant see it in my menu and have no idea how to create a launcher for this player. Can someone explain it to me in noob terms? Please

Thank you.
