Clementine - Modern Music Player - Kubuntu 10.10

[bennyc500949]

i hate amarok because my itunes musik (.m4a) doesnt work :(

[tak178]

The "Love" and "Ban" is for Last.fm.

Thanks for this.

I agree this player top notch. I used to use songbird, which was my winamp replacement on linux, but since they stopped supporting the linux platform, I didn't have a good music player and as dynamic until Clementine. I was waiting for Nightingale but they are lazy developers. The rain effect does add in a bonus touch when playing slow songs. A+ app review gotbletu as usual

shakira and mariah carey? rolffffffffffffffffff wow

[gotbletu]

@zooyork2002 lols dont like Waka waka & Mimi? Alright next time Britney then

[papagaulo]

@gotbletu No shit dude I thought you was black

[gotbletu]

@carnager thats weird, an opensource music player, tie into a paid service like lastfm, well does it help them make money atleast? Otherwise, dont really see the point as not many ppl use those paid services so why bother integrated by default

[ragnarok291273]

@gotbletu they have a free service that lets you keep track of what you listen to. It even works with some online radios.

[samphilomath]

Pretty cool.

Does it used a lot of memory?

[gotbletu]

@samphilomath think it was about 50mb or 60, but compare to amarok is much better experience. But is not a lite music player by any means.

[gamenorus]

Only problem with Clementine on KDE: its visuals look unpolished if compared to the desktop (guess it's because of have being forked from amarok 1.4, a kde 3,5 app). Other than that, it's sweet!

[gotbletu]

@gamenorus not sure if is really a fork, it just said inspired by, so they want the design to be that way? i happen to like it the way it is lols

[gamenorus]

@gotbletu From Wikipedia: "(Clementine) is a port of Amarok 1.4 to the Qt 4 framework and the GStreamer multimedia framework. It was created because the Amarok transition from version 1.4 to version 2 was criticized by some users, as a consequence Clementine has been established, based on Amarok 1.4.x"

-

So I think it's ok if it feels kinda out of place at the new fancy KDE4 desktop!

[gotbletu]

@gamenorus Thanks, it wasnt made clear if it was a port or not on there official site. guess u can forgive them now haha

[Interkirilos]

Really sweet app,i prefer amarok but i ended up using this because i really like the simplicity and the minimalist look of it!

[gotbletu]

@Interkirilos humm never had anyone said they like amarok 2.0 out loud b4 haha, but yea this is less confusing

[Flackon]

The Love and Ban buttons are shtrcuts for the last.fm functions. As far as i know they don't do anything in clementine proper

[gotbletu]

@Flackon oic, so is a waste of space then, oh great =)

[Flackon]

@gotbletu Not really. If you don't use last.fm you can disable the buttons in the last.fm section of the preferences.

[bullettotheboard]

is it just for KDE?

[gotbletu]

@bullettotheboard is Qt

[aweiberjager]

Cooool review dude, thanks! I was hoping some other player had that Amarok 1.4 feature of "Organizing files" thing.

Amarok 2.x suck balls hard :(

[gotbletu]

@aweiberjager yea im amaze as to why that crap is default on every KDE distro, it should be banned haha

[OmenX13]

Cool Review - Thanks.

[Justgoodvids]

Does it have Ipod support? Thanks.

[fatkasuvayu]

pretty nice media player, good find. are there a lot of kde only deps for this? I don't use KDE, hence my question.

[gotbletu]

@fatkasuvayu is a Qt app, so i dont think it requires any KDE libs, or just check see which package is gonna be install b4 u do it

[fatkasuvayu]

@gotbletu thanks mate, I have been using it for the last few days. amazing recommendation :)

[ElderSnake90]

Nice man, I settled on Clementine too, it's freaking sweet. Could never really gel with the new amarok

[gotbletu]

@ElderSnake90 amarok 2.0 sucks

[davidgagne80]

Nice Ace of Base playlist there ;) lol!!

[gotbletu]

@davidgagne80 hi5 lmao

[FloobenShnooben]

So have you switched to using KDE as your primary? Or do you still use Gnome? For me, even KDE 4.6 was slow for me. I even had lag just typing up some scripts or any basic text for that matter in Kate. I might give it another try using your performance improvement tips.

[gotbletu]

@FloobenShnooben yea the default sucks, well the whole distro sucks actually, i had to build it up myself, maybe ill show ppl how to do that to really make this crap faster haha

[FloobenShnooben]

@gotbletu That would be excellent. I do like the way KDE looks and feels, I just don't like the performance.
