MicroJuke

A Perl/GTK desktop music player.

By Joe Gillotti joe@u13.net, released under the GPL

NOTE: This is extremely beta. I've been listening to it a lot lately, but it really lacks polish in its current state. (1/1/2012)

Features

Automatically recursively parse and construct your song library
Quickly find and play the thousands of tracks in your library
Scrobble plays to last.fm
Desktop song change notifications
Plugins to add hooks for actions such as song changing
"remote control" unix domain socket interface for other apps, such as microjuke-client.pl

Start Here

Install dependencies (as below).
Symlink your music library to $HOME/Music or store your music there. This is hardcoded unfortunately
Run perl microjuke.pl or make a shortcut to it

####For last.fm:

go to File -> Plugins. Tick the Last.FM box
restart microjuke
go to Last.FM > Authenticate as different user
It will open your web browser to last.fm's app auth page
Log in / click allow access.

Dependencies

Necessary dependencies and perl modules are:

Gstreamer
Glib
Gtk2
Gtk2::SimpleMenu
Gtk2::SimpleList
MP3::Info
LWP

The following are optional. On systems that do not provide packages for them, install vorbis-tools and flac, for potentially slightly slower performance when parsing

Ogg::Vorbis::Header
Audio::FLAC::Header
MP4::Info
Audio::WMA
