Description
Event Timeline
I find it allows better organization of my large music library through the highly customizable interface and the built in tag editor. It also allows for quickly searching or creating playlists from regex expressions.
You can already do metadata and tag editing in other players like Rhythmbox, as well as searching. No offense, I just can't see why we'd land (and maintain) yet another media player just for playlists via regex expressions.
Its mostly the customization and layout that I prefer. I've never been able to get rhythmbox setup in a way that feels comfortable. But I see where you're coming from, I can just keep running my own copy. Possible to get an update on the mutagen package? Thanks for taking the time to look.
If more people request this we can look into it again. But right now I don't see it adding enough value to include it.
Very interested to see this software land in the SC.
I tried the other ones in the software center and ... none of em did it for me (maybe i should try a bit harder).
It handles big libraries like a champ with an interface that is useful (but not beautiful).
I would prefer to see it in the repo rather than gnome-music and noise which seem to be (more or less) the same software.
+1
It's faster than Rhythmbox for me, has lots of built in plugins, has robust tag editing, excellent cli options, frequent feature updates, well documented changelog and a fairly lively bug tracker.
I would also like this in Solus. It is my favorite linux audio playing software. I love how quick and lightweight it is.
Landed in unstable as of https://git.solus-project.com/packages/quodlibet/commit/?id=91ff6241b6ab872802eb749016017ea8a9fb4859
Thanks @feskyde!
