Music Player

Alethos · 2006-02-01 23:48:27

This looks to be fairly promising. It's called wxmusic.

mpie · 2006-02-01 23:53:01

its in the aur

Alethos · 2006-02-01 23:57:50

see what i get for not checking the aur first? sheesh.

viniosity · 2006-02-05 20:39:42

It does look good. Anyone compared it to banshee?

mac57 · 2006-02-09 02:55:52

I've just checked AUR and it is not there - nor is it in community. It does look interesting - any thoughts on whether it is elsewhere in the Arch system? I've only been an Arch user for a few weeks - perhaps there are some I don't know about. Thanks.

viniosity · 2006-02-09 03:18:40

It's in the AUR as wxmusik but I got an error trying to build it. Your mileage may vary..

sputnik · 2006-02-09 03:31:58

I tried it a week or two ago, it crashed a lot during startup. Maybe its fixed now but I would just stick to quodlibet or banshee.

viniosity · 2006-02-09 03:36:15

I wonder how long until Songbird comes out for linux?

Looks very interesting, cant wait to try this out.

Banshee doesn't have equalizer and cross-fadding. That's enough for me

Hey! I'm the maintainer! Please post the error

It doesn't work well with ALSA driver. Please choose to use OSS in preferences. I haven't encountered any other problem myself.

whompus · 2006-02-10 10:58:04

I've been running wxmusik for months with no problems at all using alsa, but I am still using 0.4.2.1 don't know if this makes any difference.

mac57 · 2006-02-10 17:00:48

Perhaps a dumb question here, but if you can't get it to build, how can you ever choose *anything* in preferences? Are you suggesting a change to a config file somewhere, prior to the build? Can you provide some details? This does sound like an interesting app which I would love to try out. Thanks!

You dont really have to build it yourself, just add my repos "AQD" at http://www.aqd.ath.cx/stuff-linux/binary/

It hangs a lot with via8237 driver (which has no problem with other apps).

In 0.4.2.2 I added: (not the dev)
- compatibility with gcc 4.1
- move my selection mode patch to a new mode called "Normal"
- fixed a bug when deleting songs in playlist, by dejari

Officially 0.4.2.2 fixes crash with auto-DJ and some other bugs. And you have better to keep upgrade because I'm also patching the source

However, in next release most patches will be removed as the dev has merged all of my work into SVN (you could call our AUR a prerelease ).

I may begin working on 3D surround and reverb effect.. no idea how to implement them though.

viniosity · 2006-02-10 20:21:59

For the record I only said it once.

FYI, in case you want to address my build error, the process was to download the pkgbuild and all patches into /home/me/temp/wxmusik and then run makepkg.

I got a lot of output like this:

Building CXX object MUSIKEngine/MUSIKEngine/src/CMakeFiles/MUSIKEngine.dir/mpcdecoder.o
/bin/sh: pkg-config: command not found

Eventually it just craps out with:

/home/me/temp/wxmusik/src/wxMusik-0.4.2.2/src/Frames/MusikFrame.cpp:981: error: 'GDK_DISPLAY' was not declared in this scope
/home/me/temp/wxmusik/src/wxMusik-0.4.2.2/src/Frames/MusikFrame.cpp:984: error: 'gdk_flush' was not declared in this scope
/home/me/temp/wxmusik/src/wxMusik-0.4.2.2/src/Frames/MusikFrame.cpp:985: error: 'gdk_error_trap_pop' was not declared in this scope
/home/me/temp/wxmusik/src/wxMusik-0.4.2.2/src/Frames/MusikFrame.cpp:986: error: 'g_warning' was not declared in this scope

make[1]: *** [src/CMakeFiles/wxMusik.dir/all] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2
==> ERROR: Build Failed.  Aborting...
me@archer:~/temp/wxmusik$

Maybe it's because I don't have a sh shell (I'm using bash) or maybe it's because I'm missing some other package.. I don't know. But either way it should probably be a requirement. I had to build fmod and mac before I could even start on wxmusik and those built fine.

pacman -S pkgconfig

I assumed everyone has that so it's not in dependency list

viniosity · 2006-02-10 21:16:03

What is this pacman thing you all keep talking about!?!!??!??

Ok, after installing pkgconfig it built just fine. Will play around with it later.

Thx.

mac57 · 2006-02-11 22:19:05

I am trying to get WxMusic based on the following:

You dont really have to build it yourself, just add my repos "AQD" at http://www.aqd.ath.cx/stuff-linux/binary/

I did this, and used "pacman --sync wxmusik" to install it. Everything went OK, except that I can't find the resulting executable! Where does it get put? I resorted to

# find / -name "wxmus*"

and even this didn't turn it up. I have tried looking for WxMusic, WxMusik, but no joy. Where does this thing go?

mac57 · 2006-02-11 22:25:50

OK, solved my own problem. It is wxMusik.

pacman --query --list wxmusik

revealed the truth!

Sorry for the unecessary post.

aquila_deus · 2006-02-12 18:00:50

Hi!

If you start two wxmusik instances at the same time, it may hang up. So you could try my script:

#!/bin/bash

if test x`pidof wxMusik` = x; then
  exec /usr/bin/wxMusik "$@"
fi

Just put this in /usr/local/bin/wxmusik (then you can start it by "wxmusik" )

I have used wxMusik to import my iTunes database, which it did more or less successfully. A key omission is that it did not pick up any of the playlists that I have assembled on iTunes. It this a known deficiency, or is there perhaps a way that I can get it to do this? Thanks.

I never used playlist, but right-click on the left panel "Sources", there is "Create New" -> "Standard Playlist by importing Playlist File", which may be helpful.

Bralkein · 2006-02-27 15:20:29

Jeez, why is everyone making music playing software these days? I mean fair enough, people should code what they want to code, but it just seems to me that the music player market is pretty much sewn up already.
