New media player in archives for 13.04

[NickStone]

Just been reading what will be available for 13.04 and found that a new media player called tomahawk will be available in the archives. It states and I quote

"Tomahawk

Available in the archives is Tomahawk, a new music player which makes it easy to share your music with your friends over IM."

What if you haven't got any friends?

It will still work as a traditional media player. BTW it's been around for awhile now. The project was originally announced at Camp KDE 2010. I like it alot. Pulls from Youtube, LastFM, and other online sources if you don't have the desired track(s) locally.

From the player's home page...

Tomahawk is a music player that fundamentally changes the way music is consumed and shared. It decouples the name of the song from the source it was shared from - and fulfills the request using all of your available sources. This creates a universal translation layer across music repositories, streaming services and geographic territories.

Man, that is some true blue IT marketing word salad there. I recognize it because I have to read this kind of stuff all.the.time for work!

looks nice , and it will search up and display anything I type in the search bar ,,,,,,but will not play any but local tracks ?

and I did not see a "youtube" setting anywhere.

on a side note I see minitube is working again

IIRC no "resolvers" are enabled by default, including Youtube. They all have to be enabled via the app's settings.

Hi Vinny. I know there is one. No time to check it thoroughly now but maybe reading over at the Tomahawk Forums would get things kick-started for you.
