Anyone know the best Wine version to use with foobar2000? I need native cuesheet support that loads the individual entries to the playlist rather than a seperate window like XMMS' plugin does, foobar is the only thing I know of that does this.

When I try loading foobar the menu bar doesn't draw properly and only works when you click where a button should be, then crashes if you try to do anything - What wine build are you foobar people using? :)

Running Breezy? I installed it yesterday and noticed that mpd stopped working. Was going to look into it more today.

I got MPC working, but I've found Banshee now, it's got a few bug's, but it's getting there, in the meantime i'm using mplayer *.mp3

You just cannot beat mplayer, it will play ANYTHING!

Try Beep Media Player, it's XMMS that uses GTK2 instead of GTK1 which looks way more nice :drool:

Oh? I would like a better UI. Would I have to go through the whole mp3 support spiel again? I've heard good things about BMP.

The next generation player from the beep guys, bmpx, has a library. It will also support a new flashy skin format and seems way cool. It's already usable and development is very fast.

I have started using Banshee again, 0.9.7 in the Breezy repos was a bit old and buggy, so I compiled it from source

Have posted instructions and deb's on my site

I recently discovered Banshee while searching for something completely unrelated. I'll have to give your page a shot later tonight after I install Debian.

The best audio player for Linux...has to be amaroK...(Anyone who has seen it wants to install Linux, so that they can listen using amaroK).. It is sooo cool !!

Amazing search, smart playlists, awesome KDE integration, clean interface....make it the best audio player out there !!

I don't know what's the big deal with everyone loving amaroK... I guess I have to try it again. I personally use XMMS when I want to hear one song, and JuK when I'm doing the playlist thing. Which is.. always.

I would use something else, but they all segfault while loading all my playlist mounted over NFS.

    • EA launches in-game advertising platform for brands to "connect with audiences"

      By Big John Studd · Posted

      Yeah, this is absolutely nothing new and EA have done it before. Burnout Paradise, released in 2008, had dynamic advertising billboards that were updated via the internet and targeted people based on location and what EA knew about them from their profile. It was particularly notable for the fact that the Obama presidential campaign ran ads in the game, in an attempt to reach a younger audience who didn't watch broadcast TV any more. It was by no means the first though. Battlefield 2142 from 2006 had the same thing. In fact, Neowin wrote a story about it back then. https://www.neowin.net/news/ba...-in-game-ads-clarification/

      This is obviously aimed at the education where Apple has lost so much ground to Chromebooks in the last few years, but unless they come up with a comparable management system for education why would anyone switch back?
    • Samsung is shutting down yet another app used by millions

      Here's how we arrived at that claim: Note that this is just Play Store downloads. The app is also available on the Galaxy App Store

      Google Play states the app had more than 50 million downloads. What other metric do you suggest should be used?
    • what other retro software do yall use

      MSN defined our generation in some ways, kind of like Snapchat and TikTok have done for future generations. I have great memories of the MSN era in the late 90s / early 2000s. In the UK everyone seemed to come home from School and go on MSN for the evening. We didn't really have mobile phones then, so other than going and knocking on your friends door it was a totally new way of interacting with people. I also loved how I could talk to people I’d met playing online games from around the world. Inviting people to NetMeeting and messing about with the shared white board and webcams was pretty fun, even if webcams only ran at a couple of fps over dial-up. All the random things you could do with MsgPlus! were really fun - I suspect that made a few people jump with /shello randomly blasting Mr Hankey out their speakers! Maybe I’m just nostalgic, however I do feel the internet and computers were more fun back then.
