I think my search for an mp3 player is over...

Hmm qmmp works very well for me also :-) Shoutcast radio lists are easily imported too

Dunno if this is what you were talking about but:

Apparently LADSPA filtering is included as of Feb 2010, note the date and "fixed" at top left.

The filters:

Hm, my quest for a player ain't over...

alsaplayer and qmmp are all very nice but they lack (for me) any kind of filtering. To have that I need the "bloat" of clementine

Anybody know of such a beast

Thanks, woodsmoke.

Nope, I meant filtering of tracks. Let's say I've got a zillion songs but I only want a couple by, say Nina Simone - so just type in Nina Simone and up they pop. Just like in Amarok or Clementine but more light weight...

I've installed so many players I've lost count.

@ gnowak

Out of interest, how do get qmmp to play radio

Re: I think my search for an mp3 player is over...

It does not, as far as I know, have a built in radio function like Amarok or Clementine(Clementine has all of the Soma FM substations whereas Amarok has "cool streams".

I download a .pls file from SomaFM or from a shoutcast station and click it and say "open with" and pick qmmp.

If i go FROM qmmp through qmmp's file structure TO the .pls. I don't even SEE the .pls.

But going backwards it plays just cool as a cucumber...

I can't explain it, i'm just a hardware guy.

BUT...gnowak uses the word "imported" which to me means that he has dragged the file into a place in qmmp or went through the file structure, and I can't do either of those.

@toad: have you tried juk?

Re: I think my search for an mp3 player is over...

kapil - that looks like the ticket! Boy, and to think that's been with me since I've been with KDE. Makes me feel raaaaather stupid

Many thanks for the tip!

I love Juk's iTunes-like browser, playlists, and ID3-tag editor. The UI is clearly nicer, IMO, than Amarok's.

The limitation with Juk is volume normalization (via ReplayGain). Amarok has it builit-in but Juk doesn't.

Also, the script-based extensibility of Amarok is very nice. Using the Shoutcast Tralala script, for example, I have Shoutcast radio stations.

Can't do that in Juk.

I still use Audacious for streaming, though. Amarok is too clunky.

I'll look at Clementine, and also aTunes and Songbird.

Oh, that, streaming! I tried a couple times with VLC, there were a couple howtos around. Never got it to work, that was a couple years ago. I gave up ever since. It would be nice though when I have a party, to stream music over to a couple rooms ... oh well

Re: I think my search for an mp3 player is over...

JuK was not, in my small opinion, worth "much" two years ago.

However, in the last year or so JUK has kind of "found it's legs".

Juk is a good player, one might have to tweak it for one's PARTICULAR wants...but...the devs at JUK have stepped up to the plate as it were.
