Exaile

<  Previous: Firefox
Next: Yt-Dlp >

Flexible, full-featured audio player

Exaile is a media player which incorporates many of the cool things from Amarok (and other media players) like automatic fetching of album art, handling of large libraries, lyrics fetching, artist/album information via Wikipedia, last.fm support, and optional iPod support (assuming you have python-gpod installed).

In addition, Exaile also includes tabbed playlists (so you can have more than one playlist open at a time), blacklisting of tracks (so they don’t get scanned into your library), downloading of guitar tablature from fretplay.com, and submitting played tracks on your iPod to last.fm.

Exaile aims to be similar to AmaroK, but uses Python and GTK+.

Remark: You should be able to enable all plugins. In order to do so, you might need to install additional dependencies. Please, review the plugin information and the package suggestions (apt info exaile | grep Suggests) to figure out what you need to have installed.

    New version available -> exaile 4.1.2-1~xtradeb2

    Changes:
       * New upstream release.
       - Tests do not depend on mox3 anymore.
       - The full test suite can now run with no unexpected failures on Windows or as root.
       - When running tests with make test, PYTHONPATH is now only prepended to, instead of being replaced.
       - Regression fixes (for bugs that were not present in Exaile 4.1.1):
        - Track counts in the status bar no longer show up as "%d".
        - Fixed error when attempting to load some UI elements, e.g. the Preferences page for the replaygain plugin.
       - Fixed sorting on Rating column when there are unrated tracks.
       - Fixed a bug causing the tracklist to scroll to the top when adding or reordering tracks.
       - Fixed a bug causing the window title to not update on track change if the current track has been paused.
       - The status bar can now be hidden.
       - The stop button does not move around anymore when hovered for the first time.
       - Fixed error if files are removed during scan.
       - Playlist columns are added next to the currently selected column.
       - The status bar now does not ignore zero track counts; they are displayed as normal.
       - Log files are now created only when/if we write something to it.
       - Fixed test failures on newer GLib.
       - Fixed test warnings.
       - New callback while installing plugins.
       - Worked around potential hang when running tests, possibly due to a bug on GLib < 2.70.3. Technically it can happen when running any GStreamer app but so far we've only observed this on GitHub Actions (and only on recent OSes),
         so we don't apply this workaround to Exaile itself.
       - The install makefile target now preserves file timestamps (requires install -p).
       - A lot of UI strings were mistakenly not marked as translatable; this has been fixed.
       - The status bar track counts are now translated using ngettext for proper internationalization.
       - Translations are now available on Windows.
       - Translation updates: Arabic, Catalan, Chinese (Simplified), Croatian, English (Australia), Estonian, Finnish, French, Indonesian, Galician, German, Marathi, Norwegian Bokmål, Polish, Portuguese, Portuguese
         (Brazil), Russian, Sinhala, Spanish.
       - Plugins:
        - inhibitsuspend: Added support for Sway.
        - otify: Fixed wrong text: "by {album}" should be "from {album}".
        - previewdevice: Will be shown after disabling and enabling again.
        - quickbuttons: This is a new plugin providing quick shortcuts to some settings.
