Yes it's true, it would be nice if gtkpod had a built in player. Now if you use XMMS as your playback application you would have xmms %s for your playback configuration. Rpm -e xmms (Only if XMMS is already installed) To change XMMS for mp3 support issue the following commands (as root): Should you want to use XMMS for the playback of files you will most likely either have to delete the current XMMS (if you do not have mp3 support rolled into your current XMMS installation.) Say you are using Fedora. The good news about using a GUI application is that you can control the playback of the file much better. The same configuration holds true for an external GUI application. If you queue a number of songs for playback then you will definitetly have to issue the killall command to stop playback. Or you could wait for the song to complete. In our example you would issue the command killall -9 mpg123. Now here's one issue with using a command line tool for playback: In order to stop playback you have to open a terminal window and issue the killall command. Now go back to gtkpod, right click on a song and select "Play Now". This is an outstanding GUI application for use with gtkpod. As you can see, in the figure above, my Fedora 10 default installation of gtkpod defaults to using XDG. From the command line the installation would be something like:īoth of these can be configured with the command.
#FLOOLA ON LINUX MINT INSTALL#
You can install mpg123 either from command line or from the Add/Remove Software utility. We'll use mpg123 because it's one of the more universal players.
#FLOOLA ON LINUX MINT HOW TO#
Let's first show how to get gtkpod running with a command line player. With modern distributions XMMS is not typically installed, yet gtkpod still defaults to XMMS being the default player on some distributions (Ubuntu and Mandriva for example). One reader pointed out that gtkpod had trouble with XMMS (which, I admit, is an old-school application). The first thing you must do is make sure you have the applications installed on your machine. I am going to show you how to configure both. Although gtkpod does not contain many of the advanced features of iTunes it is one of the more reliable iTunes-like applications for Linux.In this article I will show you how to connect your iPod to gtkpod. You can configure gtkpod playback in two ways: By opening another graphical application or by employing a command-line tool. But with Linux there is always something that might be a little better or suit your taste a bit more. Of course playback will depend upon which application is installed. Kekexili from hardware heaven compares Linux Mint to an automobile with so many. And what good is a multimedia application if it can not play back the files it manages? Configuring gtkpod is actually quite simple to configure for playback. Uninstall floola plug-in, delete its cache folder 50e0806aeb jaiyell. Gtkpod is fairly straightforward, but there can be issues. In my recent article I illustrated how to connect your iPod to the Linux application gtkpod.
