I know you've used both Elisa and Museeks. And I like being able to double-click the first track and have it play the rest of the. I kinda like Museeks' way of scanning through the albums and showing each ones contents at the same time. To find the symphony I want to listen to, I have to just start opening albums until I find it. For example, I have a set of all 9 of Dvorak's sympnonies on 7 CDs, and their covers are identical. Then you need to load each album to see if it's the one with what you're looking for. Elisa just displays album covers, and that's fine if you know what album you're looking for and it's not one of 7 album covers that look exactly alike. I might just start using Museeks more often. Certainly not every time a music player app is started. That's the only time an entire music library needs to be updated, in my opinion. No need to go read the entire library.įile systems (on Windows, anyway, and I'd bet on Linux, too) are able to trigger something to happen when something in a folder has been added, updated, or deleted. It opened up with a page full of Bee Gees tracks, something my wife was listening to a while ago. I just opened Museeks to see if it had the same problem, and it doesn't. I created a symbolic link from /mnt/Music to Music in my /home directory. If you have other questions though, feel free to start a new thread.īrent I think all music players automatically run an indexer (it opens to populate from /home/music afaik). Sometimes I'll have some songs still enqueued from a previous listening session, so maybe I have to clear the queue first before adding what I want to hear to it.įor the most part things are pretty intuitive in my opinion (but of course that's just my opinion and may not reflect your experience). Then I right click the selected group and add to queue. Usually, if I want to listen to a whole album, I'll double-click the first song to start playing, and then shift-click to select the other songs I want. ![]() Then you can head to the Playlists tab (star button at the bottom of the screen) to manage your created playlists. You'll probably need to create a playlist - that can be done from the right-click menu as well. You can add songs to playlists by right clicking them from the main list. You can see what's in your current queue by clicking on the little button to the left of the search bar. The queue is just the ordered list of upcoming tracks, FIFO style. You'll want to add some tracks to a playlist or the queue. I only have two options: play same song in a forever loop, or shuffle.
