I don't think Pmusic is the troublemaker for your miss of track-info for audio-CD. cdda2wav fails to connect to disc-id db, so other players using this technique also fails (like gmplayer). My intention is to move to musicbrainz.org. Hopefully for Pmusic 2.5.0....

To get a fresh Pmusic startup, you can rename/delete the directory /root/.pmusic

I am glad you're such a stubborn guy. 2.3.0 works as expected.... I am the stupid one.

Now fixed for next release.


Thanks a lot

Wow, that must have been a lot of work. I can't wait to take it for a spin!

Tested the latest version of Pmusic 2.5.0 in Slacko 5.3.2.7and am unable to get any track information, album art and also no lyrics to the songs using various cd's.
I'm using Pmusic version 2.3.0 in Lucid 528-04 with perfect results.

I usually use the wings GUI, which is great, but today I tried the equalizer from the default gui and it didn't work, changed to wings and it did work.. changed back to default and it did work, strange... it could be a local problem with my settings so we may need some testers with different hardware.

Mine is an athlon X2, nvidia mother board with nVidia Corporation MCP61 High Definition Audio.

I'll see what happens on my old laptop which IIRC has AC97 sound.

LATER: Yes, laptop is identical behaviour, AC'97 audio, but it is still at 2.4.4. I'll update, delete the $HOME/.pmusic dir and the relevant eq files and see what happens.

LATER still... Same in 2.5.0. I tried changing eq settings before starting pmusic to initialise the dependent files in $HOME but it didn't work.

I'm sure this worked in an earlier version but I can't recall for sure which.

Cheers

I tested like this:
- removed /root/.pmusic
- open Pequalizer, made some changes and close
- open (a fresh) Pmusic, opened equalizer from menu and everything works as expected.

My audiocard is a Asus Xonar Dx2 (pci)
This leads to another question:
I have lately built a new pc - fun-project
This includes this decent audiocard which makes sound best if Pequalizer use the Flat-preset. As always when it comes to filtering sound (ie. equalizer), I guess also Pequalizer has (in some way) a negative effect on the sound quality. This will of course only be true if your system can't benefit of the positive sides of the filtering. Is it possible to bypass the equalizer?
