Could this support a mechanism to tip/pay artists that is independent of the distribution channel, i.e. link song name to artist wallet (pay with data or cash) so artists can receive supplemental income & analytics data that is fan-direct? Or allow artists to sell virtual goods (similar to messaging stickers) or emoji to fans?
We're certainly looking into this idea, a bit of a Flattr for artists. I like it.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
It does, of course. You can mix your local library with Spotify, SoundCloud and many more.
It's currently identifying songs by meta-data only. There is an audio fingerprinter (using Last.fm's service) in the works, but as you can imagine that only solves part of the problem: getting fingerprints for data from all the various supported sources is a lot harder.
Would be nice if it also showed the other albums by "Frank Zappa"...
Installed, got soundcloud and spotify installed on OSX Mavericks, set to full screen. Tried to play a song, got an audio device not available error. Turned off peer upnp and restarted. Crashes on load.
Why is the Quick Launch Shortcut install option greyed out?
After install I, I tried playing a few files that I had just added, which was quick, from the "dashboard". Apparently my local files couldn't be found. Any log files available? Where does it think they are?
Many albums I have are by various artists yet you only seem read the artist field from the first file and treat that as the album artist.
You seem to have separation between the concepts of the library and the playlist, good. Unfortunately as soon as an item is played it is removed from the "queue".
Can I browse my "collection" in a different manner? At the moment it is a flat list of "artist" folders which seems to contain files not actually by the artist.
Any ReplayGain options available or planned?
At present I see no reason to discontinue using Winamp.

* You are right, we don't yet do a good job with various artists, but you may want to give our latest nightly a spin as it re-adds the flat view to the collection.
The queue works differently than Winamp - it injects songs into the currently playlist list and they then disappear once played. If you want a history of everything you have listened to you can get it from "History".

* As for ReplayGain, it is a bit problematic with the various sources we support, because we can't pre-analyze tracks. It's certainly on our roadmap, though.
Thanks for giving it a try.
Hope you guys like it. We've got a major update in the works too, as well as an Android app. All free and open source.
Is there a link to where developers can learn how to help with development and or use the player for their own projects?
