Re: Goggles Music Manager

Love this player - nice and simple.  A couple of questions:

1) Is it possible to delete playlists?
2) Is there a Queue function and, if so, how does it work?

Thanks!

1. Right-click menu on playlist allows you to delete it.
2. Currently not available. A half finished implementation exists but I haven't found the motivation to tackle the remaining issues.

Re: Goggles Music Manager

Today's fox-devel update to 1.7.50 breaks Goggles Music Manager. Please wait updating until gogglesmm-0.14.1 is available in the repositories.

Re: Goggles Music Manager

I just installed music manager and when I launch it, I get error

FOX Header (v1.7.52) / Library (v1.7.53) mismatch!

.

Any solutions?

It is due to the recent fox-devel upgrade. gogglesmm should have been rebuild against the newer version of fox-devel but wasn't. I've flagged the package out of date since I just released a quick bugfix as well.

If you can't wait for the official package to update, simply download the PKGBUILD files for gogglesmm and build it locally with makepkg.

Re: Goggles Music Manager

Personally I am a mpd guy, but it's awesome that this project is still going strong. Development of local audio players is basically dead since Spotify.
Keep it up!
