Stop music by pmusic -s stop
pMusic is separated in a backend and a frontend. - Backend works!

I am almost sure the problem is your gtkdialog.
What is the terminal output of
gtkdialog --version
and
gtkdialog5 --version

Users would find it easier to install your programs
if you had a warning written in the pinstall script
so that a warning message about gtkdialog version appeared.



For instance here is a script I wrote to warn if version is not
greater than 0.7.21

Wouldn't it be easy to put a script like this in the pinstall script file?

Thanks for your help so far

Yes, it is most likely a gtkdialog problem but how do I solve it? I have installed this new gtkdialog

http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=662450#662450

and the new pmusic-3.0.2-1.pet

but still puppy uses the old gtkdialog.

see attached screenshot of package manager, pfind and the terminal

- Bugfix: Stop autoplayed music if frontend fails to run.

sheldonisaac is right, but please try 3.0.3 first. The best would be that pMusic itself fixes this....

A few days ago I used Pmusic 3.0 to tag the mp3 files in an audio book that contained around 200 files. In previous versions of Pmusic, tagging would go through the files just once to do the job. In 3.0, it appeared to go through the tagging process twice, and got it wrong the first time. I re-entered the data and ran the tagging program again. Again it appeared to run through the files in the directory twice, but tagged them correctly that time.

The first time, I entered

3.0.3 won't help you - my mind wasn't clear.

Please follow sheldonisaac's advice


Good luck

Suddenly everything works. Thanks all of you. gtkdialog --version still reports the old one but after a complete shutdown and reboot pMusic works. Only the equalizer not yet.

One more suggestion however: originally I wanted a working version of streamtuner2 then I was pointed to pMusic. They are similar in what they can do but streamtuner2 has a bigger selection of radio stations. (shoutcast, live365)

see the last screenshot here:

http://linux.softpedia.com/progScreenshots/streamtuner2-Screenshot-58812.html

is it difficult to add a button to those radio station repos?

also: a couple of years ago when I still only used windows there was a piece of software which enabled me to search for specific songs in a whole directory of radio stations. So it became possible to find the radio station which was streaming the song you were looking for, and then download it via streamripper.

I do not know of any proram which can do just that nowadays (and in linux) but it definately is on my wishlist.

I have slowly put some code into a future 3.1.0 release, so suggestions are very welcome!

I don't fully understand your request of more radio stations.... pMusic has an index of about 11.000 radio stations. What are you missing? pMusic does not support wma-streams, but I don't think streamtuner can do that either. For what I know, that is a limitation in both streamripper and ffmpeg. But the luck is that most radio stations provide both wma and a supported alternative.

If your radio-stream is not in the index you can try play it by pasting the URL into the search-field and press enter.

When it comes to the wish of search for a specific song in indexed radio-stations, I think that is possible, BUT
--> searching 11.000 stations is to much. There had to be a way of narrowing the search.
--> I don't see the big deal, because when you find a station playing your favorite song, you most likely enter the stream in the middle of the song, and what is the reason to record that one?

Isn't it enough that all stations is categorized by genre.... ???

I can't reproduce your error. It seems to work for me, or am I misunderstanding...

Rather than a check in pinstall script, I have included a message in terminal if frontend won't load.

Sigmund: sorry, I meant from Music sources -> Tag all tracks in source list
