Quodlibet... best music-player ever

I am really digging this very new music player. Please give it a try. I made a couple of PKGBUILDs though I'm a very lazy packager so you might want to make your own. Thanks cactus from #archlinux @freenode for the export= tip!! a pain otherwise.
There are other optional packages you can install that are in the Arch repos: pyvorbis, pyao.

pkgname=quodlibet
pkgver=0.10.1
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="Quod Libet is a GTK+-based audio player written in Python. It's designed around the idea that you know better than we do how to organize your music."
url="http://www.sacredchao.net/quodlibet"
depends=(python gtk2 pygtk pymad pyvorbis)
conflicts=()
backup=()
install=
source=(http://www.sacredchao.net/~piman/software/$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.gz)
md5sums=()

build() {
        cd $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver
        export PREFIX=/usr
        make extensions
        make DESTDIR=$startdir/pkg install
}

[/code]

Re: Quodlibet... best music-player ever

From the user's view, quod libet is almost the same as rhythmbox, which is already available as arch package. Screenshots and features of Quodlibet and Rhythmbox look the same to me.

They claim quodlibet is faster at loading songs:
http://www.sacredchao.net/quodlibet/wiki/GStreamerWhy
and it supports browsing by any tags (if I understood that correctly).

Any other differences?

Re: Quodlibet... best music-player ever

First of all rhythmbox requires gnome... enough said. Secondly I would never judge a program by it's screenshots, there are many features that quodlibet has that rhythmbox does not, and it's only a 5month old program. I allways have found rhythmbox extremely lacking in features.
Try this if you like... if not... don't.

pyid3lib spits out a lot of messages:

Re: Quodlibet... best music-player ever

I got it up and running. Pretty nice player indeed. Is there EQ for this thing? I'm looking around and I don't see one. If there is one, this thing would replace my foobar2000 (foobar2000 through wine hogs like 15% of CPU) big_smile

There's a missing :
python config_unix.py

on the pymad PKGBUILD.

Re: Quodlibet... best music-player ever

glad someone liked it.
The blank dirs are probably that pymad &/or pyogg are not installed. Try installing them.

Re: Quodlibet... best music-player ever

wow this is an excellent program, thanks all for the PKGBUILDS! And to think i'd never find a way to get rid of Rhythmbox!

they are not installed by default, but many have them already, so they are easely forgotten as a dependency

For the record, quodlibet is available from the community repo.  I've included pymad and pyvorbis to the dependencies so it has mpeg and ogg support by default. I've also added a post installation message informing user to install pyflac/pymusepack for flac/musepack support.  The official docs don't mention the gst-plugins but they probably work too (I haven't tested them, though) as quodlibet depends on gst-python.
