If I’m back on the laptop, I will check the path you mentioned. I’m a complete noob with Manjaro and also Quodlibet, but if I look into the list of plugins, i have no trace of a plugin with the name “Import/Export”. 1) Swinsian is the most complete solution right now, which isn't saying much.In that case I have no idea what is wrong on my side. It's one of the few music players that is actively being developed. It's decent.Ģ) Enqueue is a pretty competent player, but the developer has evaporated over 3 years ago.ģ) Sonora is another abandonware option, with a very tiny feature set, but it kinda works as a playlist player. Also try the 1.0 version available from a link on their github.Ĥ) Multiplatform ports Clementine, Tomahawk and Quod Libet are also options. Tomahawk is actively developed, but has started obnoxiously shoving streaming music integration at the user. ![]() Quod Libet has nice sorting (not nice enough for the OP though) and nothing else.ĥ) Vox is a native option that strives a bit too hard for that minimal feeling (so forget about sorting) but ironically the UI has grown cramped and inexplicable while the feature set has bloated. #Quod libet mac not working software#Īlso now advertises the developer's crappy streaming music service.Ħ) Cog is yet another abandonware and is very barebones and frankly useless.įor the past 3 years or so OS X has been having rough times as far as 3rd-party software is concerned. This has been especially noticeable with audio players (but frankly OS X music players have always sucked). I hope the developers come back soon, or Steven saves us all with a MusicBee port no but seriously, Steven - please do. we're pretty desperate here.I've never got a very clear answer or understanding if it's posible to configure ALSA to output a bit perfect copy of a playing music file (as the only sound playing), no resampling or mixing for supported output sample rates and bit rates. I wouldn't mind it to work like WASAPI in shared mode on Windows Vista and 7 (bit perfect until another application needs to play audio). Would JACK help configure ALSA to do what I'm looking for? What settings do I need to play with to get it do what I want? How well does it resample (downsampling for sample rates and bit rates not supported by hardware) and/or how well does it mix down surround sound to stereo and how well is the quality of the mixer compared to Windows, Mac, and other Linux (OSS.) audio sub-systems mixers'? I don't think a computer forum would understand bit perfect output or the point in bothering to set it up and configure it. I think this is the best place for this question, I just hope there is some linux audiophiles in the house. (Even if what I want is shared/mixed mode depending if audio needs to be mixed together ). I'm not worried about audio delay/lag, long as the audio memory buffer doesn't have issues (aka keeping 0.25s-1s sound clips and playing back at random intervals randomly. I've had that happened time to time on some slower linux machines when using audactiy. ). While I am no Linux guru, here are a few ways to do it using Ubuntu Linux, without removing Pulse Audio or hopefully resorting to the terminal/command line. You need to install a music player that allows you to select certain ALSA settings. Each of my recommendations has pluses and minuses. IMO, the closest to perfection is "gmusicbrowser". My 4 recommendations for top notch music players are:Ģ. (b) In the Preferences window under " Sound" tab > " Output plugin" = " ALSA" To get bit-perfect output from each of the above:ĭeaDBeef: (a) Click on the Edit menu, then Preferences. NOTE: the " Output device" choice will depend on the type of sound card in your computer. In the left column select " Alsa Output Plugin" and then click the " Configure" button (c) In the same Preferences window select > Plugins It may be labeled differently from the one I have. In the configuration window make sure that ALSA resampling is unchecked and that you place a check in box to " Release device when stopped". (b) for the " Output pipeline" type " alsasink device=hw:0,1" (omit quotes) Quod Libet: (a) click on the Music menu > Preferences > Player tab You are now done setting up DeaDBeeF for bit perfect playback. ![]() (b) for Output device = ALSA and in the white box to the right type " hw:0,1" or " plughw:0,1" (omit quotes) Guayadeque: (a) click on Library menu > Preferences and select " Playback" from left column Gmusicbrowser: see post 5 in this thread: ![]() PLEASE NOTE WELL: in each case above, you will see that ALSA hardware device setting for the sound card is "hw:0,1".
