Version 5.4.1
See wiki

Changelog
- Bugfix: Read track-length above 1 hour (thanks to Sailor Enceladus)
- Bugfix: Right-click menu shouldn't allow file-management of directories
- Bugfix: Play CD without grabbing info from cddb fails
- Bugfix: Sourcelist menu: Can't edit non-exisitng files in the DB

Thanks zigbert. I think having a "minimal interface" button would be handy, where you can turn off certain areas. I looked around but didn't see anything. Something that could transform pmusic into something like this for example (attached) or like the gnome-mplayer image above, when you don't need the browser or playlist.

edit: Well, dragging the bottom right corner up seems to work now, not sure how I missed that.

Since pMusic have a separated backend, it is not a huge task to build a simplified frontend. There already exist one similar (Menu->View->NowPLaying), but this one is maximized rather than your request of a minimized.

The question is more if it is a good idea to add a new button to the main window since there already is a handgrip bottom-right. pMusic is a complex music environment, and the hardest struggle is to keep the gui simple...

Note, that clicking on the pMusic tray-icon hides the frontend, while the backend goes on playing. Click one more time to show it again.

Is it incompatible with Lucid? All I get is "failed to install". No further details
I've tried both mirrors and switching download directories.

It's one of those rare moments where it feels like Linux is saying "up yours" , rather than Windows, which does so on a daily basis

(Running lupu_528 on my laptop, current pmusic version is 4.6.2)

Here you will find some packages made for Lucid.
pMusic5.2.7 is the most recent available. If this works for you, I can make a lucid-pet of the latest version.

pMusic 5 is much faster than pMusic 4, so it is heavily recommended.

-most recent version
Edit: old version 5.2.4

Have you tested the first launch of pmusic i.e. no configuration files
when the user doesn't have an internet connection?

...because I got a nagging message that I needed to download a file (radio stations list)
from internet and I can't because I don't have internet

It was then awkward to set up for music, but I succeeded!

______________________________________________________

I did more checking of xerus 8.3 and Barry is using old version of pmusic
version 5.2.4

and he is leaving in a link (see image)
That caused my problem.

Version 5.4.2

Changelog
- Bugfix: Dependency check fails in xenialpup
- Bugfix: Radio frontend: Names of the radio stations are truncated - column should be wider (thanks to norgo)
- Bugfix: Stack holds more than 100 searchresults in $STORAGEDIR/history_files
- Bugfix: Delete/Copy multiple files from sourcelist right-click menu
- Bugfix: Search-string jumps to previous state and freeze content of sourcelist
- Bugfix: Save tags when playing track outside queue
- Bugfix: Don't show sourcelist right-click menu if no item is selected

I tested in Xerus and it works well, including on first run.

I noticed one thing....

After making a favorites list apparently the only way to go back to browser mode
is to use the menu. I was looking for a button to press

There are 3 ways to activate browser-mode
- in the Music_source menu (as you describe)
- press the favorite-button (heart) which shows link to Home directory. You can add any directory to favorites.
- enter / (or whatever path) in search-field sends you to the target directory

favorite-button (heart) which shows link to Home directory

I saw that after i made the post

Version 5.5.0 is uploaded
See wiki

This is a development release, and improves moving of tracks in the playqueue.
It is a result of the work done by MochiMoppel - see here

I tried pmusic 5.5.0 in Slacko 700 and it worked nicely . The change in the list order
worked.

I have a suggestion. The first time the middle-mouse click is used on the list
a warning message should be given. It just needs to given once.

Many of them don't even speak Linux, but they play Music with pMusic. . Cagoule is still using Wary..
My Slacko 64 provides 5.2.1 as pMusic version. Not a problem.

Code: Select all

yaf-splash -placement top -close box -text "For your information:
A middle-mouse click deletes an item on the list, but leaves it on your disk."

Thank you for the feedback and the suggestion!

I don't think such a msg is necessary. I don't know any other music players that actually deletes files when removing the track from the playqueue, so pMusic's behavior should be logical in any way.

I don't understand frensh, and google translate is not good enough to let me get the big picture. What is this all about?

Thank you for helping out in the french section !

Don't feel guilty, none would answer to french questions nor Spanish ones.. We are used to that . That is what the forum francophone is for,
If Puppy were Spanish..we can translate too. French team is 'polyglotte' !
The underground idea is that some translators don't like pMusic and they translate badly.. So a decided to make a specific topic.

If I understand his French he is having some problems making a list of mp3 songs???

..but he is using wary 5.5 . Does Wary support the recent pmusic?
I think Wary is gtkdialog3 only. So it won't support gtkdialog4.

_______________________________________________

gtkdialog3 will not play with recent pMusic.

At botttom of this wiki-page you'll find dependencies (gtkdialog and ffmpeg) for the different generations of pMusic. Else, it will probably be informative to run 'pmusic -D' in terminal, or check the dependencies from the help menu.

it would be better to answer in Forum francophone.
In fact cagoule told us that pMusic was stopped working in Wary 5.
Solution given was to replace default audio player by mplayer in usr local bin
Or SMplayer or .. You went to answer there in English, as you don't speak french..
If you want to use pmusic , you should set default audio player as pMusic, should'nt yout ?
