Re: Searching for a music player like ...

gmpc looks nice. I'll try it. It requires libmpd but not mpd, do I need to install mpd?

BTW, why there are so much ID3 tagging libraries: id3lib, taglib, libid3tag etc?

Re: Searching for a music player like ...

One thing I would like to see added to boombox, or as a stand alone would be a tray icon controling it, I have hacked some karamba widgets to control it but I want it to dock.......

Me too. And global hotkeys for all players!
IMHO music player should be non-intrusive at work. Global hotkeys and tray popups (or OSD) + good playlist/collection management with easy access by hotkeys or from tray - that's all I need.
That's why I never liked Winamp and clones with tons of useless plugins and skins.

Re: Searching for a music player like ...

Why can I not use a fm like thunar ?

maybe its the playlist thing ?

boombox looks good but may be a bit heavy for what I want

ncmpc is very close ......

guess its old thing tradeoff between gui candy & bloat

Re: Searching for a music player like ...

Mh, yeah it works. But it kinda lags sound all the time i try to open 2 websites, or open nautilus or do sth that uses some cpu/ram. Can i raise process priority or do sth against it?
