For now on I will just use #amberol for playing music. Simple and easy

Open-source music players are beautiful. The colored UI reminds me a bit of #Amberol. Maybe there's a bit too much text in the UI, but the colors absolutely make up for that.

While playing with #gnome on #alpinelinux, I decided to try out a new audio player. For many years, I used ncmpc w/ #mpd... but I don't really want to run an audio server 24/7 these days.

Looking around the #GNOME Circle, I found #amberol and quickly fell in love.

It's a simple and beautiful app that just plays music!

I really appreciate that you can add to the playlist via the terminal and that it supports MPRIS. I am now also using it on my #ubuntu system.

Well, I may need to have a nosey at this, ☺️.
I've been using #quodlibet for years. I have a metric shit ton of digital music, 😉. Everything I've thrown at it, Quod just plays it! The Tag editing with #ExFalso which is included is also amazing!
And ya know, I'm always looking for new stuff to mess with, so I'll be downloading #Amberol soon and mucking about with it, 😀. Thanks for telling us a bit about it!

By the way, the music player I'm using now is #Lollypop, which lets you also stream music and get album metadata from places like Jamendo and #YouTube 🍭

Here's me checking out the Fediverse's very own @bluenagoon! If you want to support them rather than just listen, check their profile for ways (and you'll get to be able to use #Amberol from the other screenshots or other music players rather than just #Lollypop 😉️)

@haeckerfelix
about Amberol: "support for external album cover images named folder (in both PNG and JPEG image file formats) in the same directory as the songs"

What? This means that I would have to rename or duplicate and rename all the cover files on my music folders for cover art work on Amberol?
What is the justification for this?

#Amberol #Gnome

Decided to finally step off the "zero point something" versioning scheme treadmill for Amberol, and released 2024.1.

Fixed up a bunch of small issues that were tied up in my attempt at getting "1.0" out of the door, before realising that version numbers are complete fiction, and there's no reason whatsoever for an application to start out of "zero point" and reach the fabled "one point oh" status.
