pMusic 6.0.0

[don570]

You're in luck! I happen to have a playlist.

To make a playlist in Audacious --->

Menu command , then the user must supply the extension --> pls

Code: Select all

[playlist]
NumberOfEntries=1
File1=/root/puppy-reference/audio/ivy.mp3

A wikipedia entry has a good explanation
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PLS_%28fil ... 9#Examples

Note that in April64 a m3u and a pls file is treated differently by operating system.
(see image)

m3u is treated as basic text whereas right-clicks on the pls file opens it as
.audio_x-scpls

[don570]

Maybe my m3u file is treated as basic text because I didn't start it with...

Code: Select all

[playlist]
...

I'll have to test.

It would open up as .audio_x-scm3u

I'll have to check this???

However the wikipedia page
doesn't mention starting m3u format with [playlist]

Even if pMusic supports other playlist formats, the internal format *.pmu takes advantages of the info in the pMusic database.
I saved the same tracklist as m3u, pls and pmu.
The attached image shows how it looks when expanded in the builtin filebrowser.

[don570]

When I right click on a playlist (m3u or pls) with the Rox file manager
I can make the songs appear in pmusic music list with my script create-m3u.

...but does this m3u or pls filename appear on the Bookmarks list
automatically?? That would simplify the procedure of making Bookmarks.

Maybe I could write the name of the m3u file to the tail of one of your
hidden files??

Looking forward to v4.5

Executing the command 'pmusic /path/playlist.pls' opens the playlist and start playing. It is added to the pMusic db, but not as a bookmark (favorite marks in pMusic). This is meant for personal use only. The db is the systems playground.

The last added playlist is always stored in $HOME/.pmusic/tmp/last_added_playlist

I updated the jamendo index last night, and it has grown remarkable.
sept 2014: 350 000 tracks
feb 2015: 600 000 tracks

The index file to download is 13Mb - not bad for half a million of songs

[zigbert]

I've been working with the first-run-experience. This has never got the focus it deserves. It includes
- better information of initial scanning.
- scanning is not getting in the users way.
- a bunch of bugfixes.
- updates to the main window.

The pMusic 4 branch has had some long-standing issues with keeping the auto-generated music-database up and running. I have of course taken backup of mine, but no issues for me since 19 nov 2014, so things are really getting more stable. (I use it daily)

We are close to release.
Should we use Nad5 theme by default? It is some kb bigger...


Sigmund

[greengeek]

I like the NAD5, but it's very much a question of personal preference I guess. Most people would probably prefer the smaller sized version...

version 4.5 works well in fatdog700 and April 64 which are 64 bit distros.


Comments:

The word 'Marks' doesn't mean much to me. It's not a term that is
used in Computer science. Try a term like 'Location' 'Source' 'Catalog'.




_____________________________________________________

pls playlist files don't seem to load properly , unlike m3u which show
all their songs on right side of pmusic window (and play) .
I add the list with a right click on the icon in
Rox Filer or my script create-m3u.

Notice from image above that the pls file does show correctly in 'Marks'
section.

I will consider a new term instead of Marks, but it has to describe the qualities of these 'Marks'
- It opens a folder in the builtin browser
- It adds an audio file to the playqueue.
- It runs actions like connecting to top100 of jamendo.com
- It shows stored timestamps for playing track.

pls playlist files don't seem to load properly

I fail to install Audacious in my system, so it would be great if you could show me the pls file.


Thank you

I googled 'warehouse + synonym'

Suggestions :

Music warehouse
Storehouse
storeroom,
depository,
depot

Synonyms depository, depot, magazine, repository, storage, warehouse
Related Words cache, stockroom, storeroom; bank, bin, container, locker, safe-deposit box, strongbox; arsenal, dump; stowage

Music cache or Music warehouse sounds good to my ears
________________________________________________


To test a pls file I used a file based on this -->

http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 289#827289

Then I did the command

Code: Select all

pmusic -a  music_list_name.pls

and you can see in image that playlistlist did show on left side of window,
however it didn't show on right side of window. THere was an offer to
scan a folder I believe.

_________________________________________________

[zigbert]

I see the pls bug...
if 'fileN=' description misses full url definition (file://...)
fixed for next release

func_add line 511:

Code: Select all

ADR="`cut -d= -f2 <<< "$I" | awk -F 'file://' '{print $2}'`"

should be

Code: Select all

ADR="`cut -d= -f2 <<< "$I" | sed 's|file://||'`"

When it comes to the music warehouse, I don't feel we have got it 100% yet

Thank you
Sigmund
