- Bugfix: Detection of installed pMusic older than version 3.0.0 (thanks to L18L)

I installed pMusic-3.0.7 on Exprimo-3.6.2.1 which has version 2.6.6 in it + gtk-dialog.0.8.2+ffmpeg version >>0.8.
Result: pEqualizers GUI comes first displayed before the pMusic GUI opens; and when closing pMusic (Menu/Quit), pEqualizers GUI is displayed a second time. So at end, we have pMusic closed with 2 times pEqualizer open.

Does someone else also have this?

Just a quick report about the progress.
I am working slowly towards 3.1. It depends on gtkdialog-0.8.3 which Thunor released the other day. I will wait for a Slacko/Precise platform that includes all dependencies. - It makes it soooo easy for me.

Running several RadioHits grabber could corrupt the MyMusic database (index-file), so I have rewritten that function. I am still refining, but it basically works like this screeny:



The New Export window have settled:



The podcast setup has been rewritten simplified.
It now looks too simple.



Else, I have improved the smartadd dock by adding a 'add all' option without any new bloat



The trackinfo function has got some improvements, but maybe only one that really matters...
You can now set Album tag directly from the discography.



And there has arrived a new playmode. Maybe not the best icon (any suggestions?)

pMusic 3.1.0 will support embedded albumart images in audio files.
This requires ffmpeg 0.11 or newer.

pMusic says that one of my songs doesn't exist, but I check if it's there and it is there. But GNOME-Mplayer works fine with the song. Actually it's not just one song, it's all of my songs that fail to work with pMusic.

It's working okay in puppy mage 2 once I found out how to add albums to the playlist.
EDIT:the album cover changed in the now playing screen but the song title didn't.

what 2nd image?

Puppy Mage 2 puplet, but I've added the newest gtkdialog and updated ffmpeg.

Bonjour Sigmund !
Merci for pMusic3.1.0 !

thanks for any answer

There is a possibility for a future midi support. I have not tested it, but theoretically, pMusic could handle midi.

It's logical, I just had to poke around a bit to find out what I needed to do because I'm unfamiliar with pmusic.
I plan to use it more now though

i think my guess would be that pmusic doesn't like filenames with spaces. I can listen to the radio though. But I don't want change my preference on filenames of Music. Is there a workaround

Pmusic plays files with spaces in their names for me. What format are the songs that won't play for you? (What are the filename extensions?) Are they CAPITALIZED?

they're .mp3 format. I am running Slacko 5.4 (firefox-4g) with this version of pmusic.

EDIT: I do have the listed requirements. Like I said the music works on GNOME-Mplayer, but not in pmusic.

EDIT2: No they're not CAPITALIZED

When I do a ls -l in rxvt teminal, the tab key makes the command line something like

ls -l 07\ -\ Jason\ Vieaux\ -\ Sor\ -\ 07\ -\ Op.\ 44\ -\ Andante.mp3

Maybe the software does something with the spaces so that they can be handled by pmusic etc

When I click on it in rox filer, pmusic plays it.

Lucid Puppy 5.2.8-005

same error when clicking on it in rox.
