Well, luckily the layout file has a Modified date so I can just use whatever version came out before that (or even the next one right after) ![]()
So I was fooling with some things, never quite sure if I’m butting up against bugs or doing something wrong but I had a thought about your layout issue.
The way fooyin is set up with layouts I think their idea is you make the layout with the dimensions you want and rather than resizing and scaling you switch layouts. This is where the “save window/size position” check boxes come in with the save/export layout panel. So rather than resize you just switch layouts from the layout menu or set hotkeys to jump between the modes/layouts you use.
I’ve been using Moode on a raspberry pi 3b+. Also I stream music to my local network using liquidsoap and icecast. Then I can connect to it anytime with any device on my network or VPN in with my phone or laptop from anywhere.
Edit: I have music playing iny bedroom 24/7 from my collection.
So none of the features I was looking for and wrong CPU architecture ;p
Is Moode better or at par with Volumio? I havent tried both and I think I want to roll my own and maybe put a DAC on the HAT.
Weird this seems to be my first post here and I seem to recall posting.
All I want is WinAmp for Linux. I grew up with it. It looks cool for a 90s early 2000s app. Has visualization plugins and pretty much a cooler version of Foobar.
Where is my WinAmp for Linux??? I know it doesnt exist and its a Windows app purely but I think I miss the idea of WindAmp.
You can’t be serious? QmmP by default is Winamp…of which qmmp is my pick behind fooyin. However I turn on the simple user interface so it’s NOT like winamp, I always hated that llama. Sonique was my player of choice back in the Win98ish days.
Depends on what you are doing with it. The free version worked fine for me until a few years ago when they began paywalling features. Moode is not paywalled in any way, took a bit of getting used to , and the interface isn’t quite as slick as volumio, but i grew to like it better. Moode is Pi only afaik.
I have a usb soundcard that i use with moode as opposed to the onboard pi audio (blech).
I am looking at it now. I have not heard from them until now, thank you!
Will get back to you with a feedback but initially, I am biased for GTK/GNOME and it being Qt based makes me a bit cautiously optimistic.
I see this and acknowledge it. It is boring and its fine. ![]()
I guess I just want the nostalgia from the skin and overall UX.
Hell VLC can do that ;p
Since GTK broke XScreen enumeration I avoid GTK like the plague.
Self Necro Bump…
I was really digging fooyin and the dev came back and was killing it for a bit but then fooyin’s database fundamentals were broken the last few builds and the dev seems to have been consumed by real life so I present…
MPS (Music Players Suck)
https://mps.m0dw3rks.com/
I like symfonium (subsonic api) and navidrome server. Symfonium connect to navidrome, I have access across the world and it caches the songs on my devices.
Navidrome looks like crapware with “Anonymous Data Collection” being the giant first thing under “getting started.” Kinda looks like “Getting Started: Bend over, apply KY…or not we won’t judge…” and the “smart” playlists are in beta. That said streaming is 100% not something I care about.
MPS https://mps.m0dw3rks.com/ is mine, I’m not spying on anyone i.e. NO “anonymous data collection.” Everything is just scripting in a few languages so you can plainly see what’s going on. Though with Navidome it looks like you can see the source too but why bother when you already know it’s spying on you!?
As for symfonium what do I care for a player that is on a platform I don’t use?
Not sure how you’re coming to that conclusion when it’s self-hosted.
best music player? obviously it’s the Zune duh!
I went and looked at the docs.

“Anonymous” data collection isn’t…much like friendly fire…isn’t…friendly.
I said in my last reply the FIRST/ONLY thing under getting started is about the data it collects on you and sends home.
@Luca02b don’t get me started on hardware ;). I wish you could still by Clips.
I didn’t.
Also:
- Opt-Out Available: Enabled by default, but you can disable it anytime.
You asked how I came to that conclusion. (Sorry for the snark, thought you were the original poster which seemed more like bot shilling.) Wording corrected as you are not the initial “Navidrone” “mentioner.”
Opt-Out being true by default is good but still, I don’t want that much less in a streaming server, I don’t want streaming. This sounds like an “oops our bad” the setting didn’t work and no one caught it. Or update xx.xx.xx “accidentally” turned this on.
That being -the first- thing in getting started is a big “no thanks” even if it did what I wanted. This is kind of a truth in advertising thing where +1 to honesty but once you know the truth…are you buying?
It being the first thing makes it so you don’t miss the setting and you know upfront that this even exists.
Which, case in point, it does.
This is just restating the same stuff over and over, I already said +1 for being up front, and because of that I pass. What more is there to discuss?
There’s that normal distribution curve meme with Apple Music streaming at both ends of it I’m sure ![]()
edit:
ah linux.
just use mpg123 and scripting or hook it up to a local LLM (these days)
