Looking at the video, I want to immediately (i.e., without switching to a mode) type "can" and have "Cannonball Adderley" highlighted at the bottom of the focused "artists" tab.
Does it work that way?

#12Nice! Any chance this supports gapless playback for those of us who listen to classical once in a while?
Gapless playback should more or less work out of the box for most file formats (flac, ogg, etc). For MP3 files it's still a bit hit-or-miss, and depends on what settings were used when encoding the files. This should improve over time.

#13This looks great. Clearly a labor of love. Congratulations.

#14I'm using Fedora 26 and
it shows that packages "asound", "pulse" and "libmp3lame" are not available.
What do I do?

Not yet, unfortunately. This is on my list of things to do.
You can however, in most contexts, switch to the "category filter" view by pressing "f" without explicitly engaging command mode. This will switch the view, then focus the search field. So you can type "fcan" and get artist, album, and genre search results for "can". Not ideal, but does work and is still pretty quick.

Not sure what the general consensus is regarding connecting recent discussions but several lightweight players were recommended; most were platform-specific.

On Arch same response, tried yaourt with little success.

These are all common libraries that most distributions should have.
1. "asound" refers to ALSA. 2. "pulse" is PulseAudio 3. "libmp3lame" is LAME
A quick google search looks like these may be the packages you need:
1. alsa-lib-devel 2. pulseaudio and pulseaudio-libs-devel 3. liblame-devel, maybe?
Looks like I'll need to spend some time here soon installing a few more popular distros and figuring out the exact package names.

#19Would love an ubuntu deb for this. That said it builds from source easily enough. But the libs are a bit new for my old version of ubuntu.

I'd love this feature too. Should we open an issue for it?
