BoomBox

BoomBox is an open source audio player with an unique database browser.

BoomBox has a powerful database thanks to sqlite, but also a powerful and simple to use user interface.

What is new in this release:

• Optimization: use kdeinit for faster app startup
• Alternating background colors in filesystem view.
• Bug fix: now showing track length and current position correctly on mpris2 remote control apps.

What is new in version 0.4.3:

• Bug fix: application crash at startup if shuffle was active when you quit before.
• Bug fix: should not be able to edit or enqueue albums in resultview.

What is new in version 0.4.2:

• Fix for loading a new song when clicking "play" first thing after application startup, wasn't working with vlc and gStreamer phonon backends.
• Fix for automatically playing next song in playlist when using gStreamer phonon backend.
• Only update "current song" label once playback of next song actually starts, before this fix it was updated a few seconds before.
• Fix 15-20 second delay in startup if kde-telepathy is installed, was causing a dbus-deadlock with the kded daemon.
• Remove icons on song position and volume sliders in main user interface, looks cleaner.

What is new in version 0.4.1:

• The "Now Playing" plasma applet now supports Mpris2 dbus interface so I could finally test support for this in BoomBox. Found a couple of issues and fixed those.
• I switched to a dark colour theme and found two places where it was always showing text in black colour. Fixed to follow system palette.

What is new in version 0.4:

• Added a Help entry to the BoomBox menu and wrote documentation.
• Added titles to the toolbars, shown when right-clicking on a dockwidget.
• Renamed some actions to sound better
• Added the actions for the collection tab to the shortcuts editor
• Changed the function of "New Playlist" now saves current settings under new name instead of starting a new blank one.
• Compile fix for ubuntu 10.04

What is new in version 0.4 RC1:

• Finally I have something good enough for a release! Took some two years... but during those two years I have also quite happily used it full time for myself.
• So now I'm hoping to get some feedback on how this works for everybody else, hopefully it can reach more people thanks to the excellent build service that opensuse provides! Also big thanks to lubos lunak for the nice kde-obs-generator!
• Please comment below for any feedback/questions, much appreciated! There is no documentation yet, hoping to have time for that soon (and also hoping that it isn't really needed!)

Requirements:

• KDE Plasma
