You shouldn't have to make a Microsoft account or tie it to an email to use the store. You no longer have to put in a license key for Windows and you can leave the operating system unactivated. Once you have virtual machine capability, you can install a fresh Windows 10 or Android x86/LineageOS ISO to it. Linux Mint is built off of Ubuntu, so the Ubuntu version you pick will depend on the version of Mint that you are running. You can grab VirtualBox off of the software repository in Mint, but I'm pretty sure those are fairly old and the most recent versions are on their website. The easiest and most practical way for me to use it on a Linux desktop is through a virtual machine running Windows or Android, but this comes at the cost of a larger install size. ![]() There are also some Chrome extensions that let you run Android applications inside of them on Linux. The last time I did it was fairly involved but it seems a bit simpler now. Emulators can work okay but also have potential bugs. I'm fairly sure that I've run the mobile APK through Android emulators like Anbox. Probably a javascript thing, since I don't allow javascript from most web servers - ever.Since JW Library is a Windows Store App on desktops, there's no simple way to run it on Linux as of yet. OTOH, loading every music file below a directory and playing it in order or randomized is really easy.īTW, that screenshot is really funky if clicked. The playlist items have to be relative from the top music directory, so playlists inside the same directory as the music don't "just work", IME. Most minimalists would prefer ncmpc, which also takes some getting used to. Kids today would probably use a r-pi connected to bluetooth speakers. 2 of those "servers" are just raspberry pis connected to audio receiver systems. MALP can connect to any of my 3 different mpd servers (3 different rooms). MALP when a tablet or phone is available. I use ncmpc when I'm at a computer 99% of the time. Any client, from any other system with connectivity can send the mpd server commands. There are other things, like setting the volume to an absolute value and loading an existing playlist. That has mpc connect to the mpd server and play where ever it left off. The mp dserver does what it was told regardless of the client connection. None of these is perfect and there are times when the simplicity of winamp from the 1990s is all I want, even today. Little Dreamer **must** come before Ice Cream Man. Sometimes that is all we want, right? Both can randomize, but I do remember the idea of albums and want to hear some in a specific order. My music-search script ONLY supports playlists.m3u files. Mpd has the idea of playlists, but doesn't seem to support m3u files. They work, but do have the overhead of an ssh connection for each command. There are 20+ clients, for all levels of need.Īnd I created a few CLI+menu+ssh scripts into mpc on the mpd boxes. Mpd is a server running on the system where the speakers are connected, but controlled by local or remote clients. Added my own custom music-search bash script, completely separate from mpd too. I barely used Clementine, then it became too bloated and the remote-control never worked for me due to different versions always being behind, so switched to mpd as the solution. I have to admit, I stopped using xmms-like music systems long ago. ![]() ![]() Last edited by shantiq January 23rd, 2022 at 10:24 AM. got it here on 20.04Ĭheck the list of plugins on my Winamp here could not even display them all XMMS stills runs but there is a need to look at earlier howto's and try things out. Here is my XMMS those graphix are not Milkdrop quality also there is the issue that i rip 8-track to cuefile and ALAC and XMMS balks at that format wish I could find someone who would know how to create an ALAC plugin which would work with cuefile for XMMS too learned for me but yes on Ubuntu XMMS Audacious Winamp I have kept in rotation in my Linux years. and Milkdrop is still stunning nearly 20 years after conception. that it is ******* originally bothers me not as it is free and REALLY excellent and plays codecs others can only dream of. so a year ago I decided to return to the mother software. Hi yeti and Fu been too a HUGE fan of XMMS for a long time see posts i placed here on this site of recent years it has such a clear sound use Audacious a lot too but and this is my thinking on these players at the mo Winamp was the urplayer the original and it works perfectly under Wine with that version Winamp makes available after they got fed up seeing lots of kooky versions all over the net.
