I need a media player that works?

Mr Green · 2006-11-03 12:23:01

Hi,

I have so many problems with Banshee I am thinking of going back to good old mpd

What the best front end for mpd at the moment?

Aldaron · 2006-11-03 16:06:08

I'm so happy with Sonata
Nice, clean and does its job.

Kindred · 2006-11-03 16:17:51

I'm pretty happy with Sonata too, Pygmy but better. Just need to put in a couple of small requests some time.

Mr Green · 2006-11-03 16:21:26

emmm I'll give that a go thanks

noriko · 2006-11-03 21:59:36

To Mr Green: if you want just simple mpd client try glurp or gmpc.
Sonata and Pygme are nice too, but I don't like Python.

Mr Green · 2006-11-04 07:17:53

I always liked Glurp ... should use ncmpc lol

Amarok no waaay don't need the bling

Please do so, especially if they are small

I don't use any graphic frontends, manage all music through hotkeys and mpc. I used glurp for adding playlists as it is not a simple task for me if you are using only mpc.

BMPx for life!

paranoos · 2006-11-04 19:47:31

I like pympc. it's very similar to sonata, but simpler. sonata doesn't seem... finished.

Mr Green · 2006-11-04 20:00:41

@cheer I did have media keys set up with mpc till I changed my keyboard ;-(

cheer · 2006-11-04 20:05:12

On my desktop there no multimedia keys also, but I use key bindings via xbindkeys.

noriko · 2006-11-04 21:25:42

hahaha thx for correctign me Romashka .. omg i'm such a noob lol

elasticdog · 2006-11-05 21:18:17

I use <code>ncmpc</code> and <code>Sonata</code> as well...they're not perfect, but pretty darn good.

ToastedToad · 2006-11-06 03:52:12

I like the simplicity of Pygmy.

F · 2006-11-06 08:03:23

I play all my music through Amarok, which also has support for my ipod.

I recommend it, even though it looks kinda bloaty.

Damnshock · 2006-11-06 16:27:22

Gmpc and Ncmpc work fine for me

Cheers

PD: But I love amarok!

Mr Green · 2006-11-06 16:45:25

Amarok is huuuuggggeeee ...

Yep, and banshee and muine require mono :evil:
I plan to move to mpd too, when I configure it properly, default config is useless.

Mr Green · 2006-11-06 16:49:53

banshee uses mono :shock:

Yes, it's true.

Mr Green · 2006-11-06 16:53:49

no your having me on [joking]

Romashka · 2006-11-06 16:58:53

I don't understand devs that make music players that require a bunch of big depends.
I was shocked when read that Gnome included Tomboy officially.

Mr Green · 2006-11-06 21:37:02

man you cannot run anything without Gnome these days .....
