![]() #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: While you don't have to use these features - it's a fine music player without them - they make this the ideal playlist curation tool.PLEASE NOTE WELL: in each case above, you will see that ALSA hardware device setting for the sound card is "hw:0,1". The range of tags is huge, allowing you to search not just by artist, album or genre but also by how long ago you added the track, how recently you've played it, or even the number of times you've skipped it. You might look for all your hip-hop songs from before 1996, for instance, or all your metal tracks except death metal. Rather than simply identifying all the songs in a particular genre or all the ones by a particular artist, you can easily craft more complex searches. The major feature of Quod Libet is its search function, which lets you customise your search results using search expressions. ![]() If you want to be able to customise your playlist with just a few quick search terms, this player gives you better tools than almost any other on the market. Quod Libet is a Linux music player with an extensive search feature that lets you tag and search your audio files to create exactly the listening experience you want.
