[Solved] Looking for a simple music player

Hello there,
I'm looking for a music player for a box I'm currently building. I only need it to have a GUI, playlist support and random playing. I've thought of xmms2, but the standard package comes without GUI and I haven't found any clients with random playing.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

as simple as they get:
xmms: (not xmms2!)
audacious:
audacious is a form of bmp, which is a fork of xmms... they're all basicly the same, audacious is more up to date though.

Looking for a good music player application........

Hey everyone,
I am still looking for a great music player app for the Bionic and wonder if anyone could provide some good suggestions. The apps I have tried have all had something wrong with it
1) The bionic stock app is ok, but the lock screen widget is very small and a pain when driving and have to be precise when hitting the skip button, otherwise, it dissapears
2) Google music app doesnt have a lock screen widget, wth?
3) Power Amp is probably my favorite, but has 2 big bugs...ill be listening to music thru my ear buds and when i get any sort of notification, the music goes thru the phone speaker, and i listen to my music very loud. Also, when listening to music and having navigation going at the same time, the music still plays when the navigation voice kicks in, on other apps, the music stops
4) MixZing doesnt have an option that allows you to go to the home screen from the lock widget, it only allows you to go the device lock screen making you have to unlock the phone twice
As you can tell, the lock widget is a big deal since I listen to music in my car often while having the navigation going. Any suggestions? I may just trash this phone with the data issues and drop another 300 for the Rezound since the reviews have been good (so far) but until then, was wondering if there is an all out good music app out there.
Thanks everyone!

Stock lock screen does not normally support 3rd party widgets so you wont find any third party players that allows you access while on lock screen.. As for the player I perfer Meridian Media Player Revolute from https://market.android.com/details?id=org.iii.romulus.meridian&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsIm9yZy5paWkucm9tdWx1cy5tZXJpZGlhbiJd

Looking for a good music player app

Hi.
I have a problem. i'm looking for a good music player app for my new iphone (which i will buy my next month) in terms of playing music. after having 3 phones in the last 9 months i'm still unhappy.
Had a Samsung Galaxy Ace. sound was above average but due to underpowered processor + RAM (and Samsung stating they won't update the software anymore) i had to sell it.
Than had a Sony Ericcson Xperia Neo but felt the sound was "flat" and bland" and left me disappointed and uninspired coming from a well-known phone maker know for its audio & visual expertise.
Now, i currently have the HTC Desire S. umm although the sound was "Ok" with its usual pre-set equalizers (common among Android phones) and SRS sound enhancement it felt me wanting more and although i have the phone for a week now i would say "so far-so good."
but i heard the best music phones out there are those with either Beats Audio (which are very brand new) or the ones with Dolby Mobile.
had an iPod touch (4th-gen) and i was amazed and impressed by the sound quality.
so, if i can get away with a good music player app that recreates surround sound, has good preset EQ's along with customisable ones and one with Dolby-like support which app would you recommend?
Thank you.

Looking for a decent music player

I know there is a lot of similar topics on forum, but no one did not respond to my question.
So far I have tried Exaile, Rhytmbox, Pragha, Decibel, Goggles, ... and so on.
They are all good players but have some critical flaws.
Exaile is maybe the best of them, but it is slow with large collections.
Pragha is fast and light but does not support pulse and multimedia keys wont work with it.
Decibel is next best thing after Exaile.
Goggles is fast, but ugly, media keys wont work, no pulse support and its GUI is confusing.
I have even tried mpd + GUI, but such option is just too complicated to setup for simple music player.
Okay, this is my personal opinion. What do you think?
I just need player with ease of use of Exaile but faster with large music collections.

I'd suggest you buy a faster computer with lots of memory and keep using exaile.
Regarding GMM:
1) media keys: we try to grab the usual XF86AudioPlay multimedia keys. If they don't work, it usually means they're already grabbed by some other application or desktop environment (I noticed this with gnome on a ubuntu installation). In case of the desktop environment, remove the default keybindings for those specific keys. Another case it might fail if the multimedia keys don't have the usual XF86Audio* keycode assigned to them.
2) For pulse support you need a pulseaudio plugin for xine. Either file a bugreport with Arch to enable the building of the plugin, or create your own custom xine package.
3) I'm always happy to hear suggestions to make the GUI less confusing.

Looking for a new music player

Hey guys. I just installed Arch and everything's looking great, but I haven't picked a music player yet.
I want something extremely light and simple, using GTK+. I just want to make a playlist and play it. I don't want uber-advanced media collection management and iPod support and Audioscrobbling and whatnot. And no KDE/Qt apps either. Most importantly, I want it to be able to run completely from the tray.
So, Archers: any ideas?

Well, is controlling Audacious from the tray all that... needed?
I use Global Hotkeys and have quite a few bindings set up. They work surprisingly well.

[solved] Looking for a simple YouTube video converter

Hello,
I am not a video expert and all my video editing is limited to converting my videos to a YouTube optimised format before uploading onto the platform.
At the moment I am using transcoder. However, I would prefer an other more minimal program which comes with predefined export profiles for optimal quality for YouTube.
Does anyone of you use a very minimal and leightweight converter which is sufficient for YouTube videos?
Regards

Since YouTube will re-encode anything you upload the best practice is to upload the original content. This isn't always practical of course, so you can re-encode it for a more manageable file size, but still high enough quality that it won't needlessly suffer when YouTube takes a dump on it. Here's an example that will work with ffmpeg from the repository, ffmpeg-1:1.0-2:
ffmpeg -i input -c:v libx264 -crf 18 -preset slow -pix_fmt yuv420p -c:a copy output.mkv
The two options of interest are -crf and -preset. The basic methodology when using crf is to use the highest value that still gives you an acceptable quality and the slowest preset you have patience for. See FFmpeg and x264 Encoding Guide for more information. This example will also simply copy the audio from the input to the output. If you want to re-encode the audio, such as if your input audio is uncompressed, replace "-c:a copy" with "-c:a libmp3lame -q:a 3" or "-c:a libvorbis -q:a 6" for a high-quality output.

This might be do the job? - http://shahidhussain.com/optimize-video … th-ffmpeg/
That is a terribly outdated example: it resizes the video to 320x240, changes the frame rate, and uses 800 bits/s for a video bitrate. That's bits, not kilobits!

[SOLVED] Looking for an audio player; specific requirements

I've searched around and can't really find what I'm looking for in an audio player(though Audacious and Exaile come close). What I need is one with these aspects:
- Based on GTK+
- Relatively lightweight
- Skinnable
I'd like something with a look similar to the Winamp "modern" skins, rather than the classic ones, but I can't find anything like this for Linux.

This makes your request impossible.
Nothing's impossible... creativity is key. I you can't achieve the look you're looking for natively, either code something yourself or look into running winamp through wine (here's an article on running winamp through wine if you're feeling lazy).

I'm looking for a simple DJ app

Hi Folks,
I hope this is the best place for this question! I'm looking for a simple App that will allow me to add music on the fly to a playing playlist. iTunes DJ does most of what I want but doesn't allow me to drag and drop order or remove songs. I don't need turntables or eq or anything like that. Just a simple way to create playlists on the fly with the ability ro rearange the order, add and remove songs on the fly. Also, if there's a better forum for my question, please advise.
Thanks!

Good afternoon, my name is mike Perreault, on 9-28-13 I was looking for a free music app and I must have touch an ad about iTunes Radio because I was charged 20.20 on my acc", could please tell why and credit back on my acc.

Good afternoon, my name is mike Perreault , on 9-28-13 I looked for a free music app., I don't know what happen but my credit card was charged $20.20, please tell me why and credit my acc. Because I didn't purchase anything from iTunes .
Sincerely ,

Please be aware that you are not communicating with Apple when you post in these forums. Most of the people who will reply to your posts are, like me, your fellow users.
As to your issue, first, make sure that you did not inadvertently make an in-app purchase. Many apps, particularly games, are free for the base game but charge for additional features such as levels, "coins" and other such add-ons. Check your Purchase History to see if that reminds you as to what you might have purchased:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2727
If you find that this was an in-app purchase, to prevent this from happening again, turn off "In App purchases" in the Restrictions settings on your device. For more information, see:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4213
As to a refund, that's not automatic since the terms of sale for the iTunes Store state that all sales are final. You can contact the iTunes Store, explain the reason for your request, and ask, though:
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact.html
They're usually pretty lenient in the case of inadvertent purchases, but there are no guarantees.
If the charge was not an in-app purchase that you made and forgot but the charges do appear in your Purchase History, contact the iTunes Store and let them know. You should also immediately change your password for your Apple ID. If the charges don't appear in your Purchase History, they were probably fake charges made directly to your credit card, and your card issuer will need to handle those.
Regards.

Looking for a simple drawing application for my grand-daughters

Well, that's more or less it, I'm looking for a simple drawing application for my grand-daughters. In the children section of iTunes store, there's only a few books and nothing more. I bought the iPad mainly for my grand-children to teach them a bit and I don't find interesting things for them.
Can anybody help me with that?

Brushes is a nice finger drawing app. Since you didn't say how old they are, I don't know if the interface is to difficult for them to use.
Sketchbook is another nice drawing app.
Neither are free.

Looking for a simple way to convert a string to title case

New to LiveCycle and Javascript. Looking for a simple way to convert a string to title case, except acronyms. Currently using the the following, it converts acronyms to lower case:
var str = this.rawValue;
var upCase = str.split(" ");
for(i=0; i < upCase.length; i++) {
upCase[i] = upCase[i].substr(0,1).toUpperCase() + upCase[i].substr(1).toLowerCase();
this.rawValue = upCase.join(' ');

Thanks for the reply.
Found the following script in a forum, which works fine as a "custom validation script" in the.pdf version of my form. However, it will not work in LiveCycle? The problem seems to be with
"return str.replace(/[A-Za-z0-9\u00C0-\u00FF]+[^\s-]*/g"
function toTitleCase(str) {
var smallWords = /^(a|an|and|as|at|but|by|en|for|if|in|nor|of|on|or|per|the|to|vs?\.?|via)$/i;
return str.replace(/[A-Za-z0-9\u00C0-\u00FF]+[^\s-]*/g, function(match, index, title){
if (index > 0 && index + match.length !== title.length &&
match.search(smallWords) > -1 && title.charAt(index - 2) !== ":" &&
(title.charAt(index + match.length) !== '-' || title.charAt(index - 1) === '-') &&
title.charAt(index - 1).search(/[^\s-]/) < 0) {
return match.toLowerCase();
if (match.substr(1).search(/[A-Z]|\../) > -1) {
return match;
return match.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + match.substr(1);
event.value = toTitleCase(event.value);

Looking for a simple flip book template for Flash CS5

Hi, I'm looking for a simple flip book template for Flash CS5 for a 20 page brochure/ booklet. Or a tutorial. Does anyone know of one?

Hi Mark,
No need to restrict your choice to the preset Pages Templates. Do a web search and choose a Word template. Pages will open Word documents and templates. Or design your own:
This is a Table I inserted into a blank Pages Word Processing document. Format the date column in Inspector > Table > Format > Cell Format. Select the first Date cell,then drag the fill handle down to increment the dates.

Looking for a simple answer ........ without the ...

looking for a simple answer ........why is it more difficult for skype to connect than before . It fails to ring most times and your never sure if it is just slow or did not dial in the first place??? and is there any way to disable the leave a message feature ??? I am afraid soon it will be like most wondows applications where you will need endless updates and patches just to keep it running ..... Why is it that everyone is trying to fix everthing when it isnt broken.

WTF? I'm sure you can find plenty of examples on google. It's on you to take the time to go through them, study them, and, if you still don't understand something, post a clear, concrete question that indicates what you read and what you didn't understand about it.
As is, you're essentially treating folks here as your research flunkies and saying, "Give me an example that's better than all the ones already easily available to me. Read my mind to know why I didn't like them."
