I have gotten some music put on my system now. I can play them and the music appears in the ambient bar. I was just wanting to know, does the music player have a full gui? Can I create playlists? If, not can someone recomened a good player for MorphOS?

Try Jukebox, that allows for playlists, as does MPlayer, SongPlayer, there's also SoundBankster (DJ'ing really but will load/play mp3s), AminetRadio, all come with MorphOS, or there are other, and some older supported players such as DigiRoller, DigiBooster, even GoatTracker, ExciterPlayer, for modules, and don't forget to try some of the older Amiga Classic players as many of them work with MorphOS as well. Loads of choice . . ENJOY

Well I can find Jukebox, but where do I find SoundBankster. Am I nuts. I just can't find the program. Did you say it came with MorphOS?

I felt sure it came with MorphOS's most recent versions, but I suppose I could have been mistaken, anyway you can download it from:

http://morphos-files.net/remote/SoundBankster

Hope somehow this softens the impact of not finding it sooner.

I downloaded it and put in the Applications folder. Where should it be? I assure you there was no SoundBlanker folder before in the Applications folder. Now I am just curious. I even looked on the CD and could not find it.

Only Jukebox is included with MorphOS (and yes, it has gui and it supports playlists). Others mentioned probably come with the Chrysalis pack. Some people install it to top of fresh MorphOS installation and may get confused which came originally and which didn't.

Here's how to setup Jukebox as the default player:

> MPlayer, SongPlayer, [...] SoundBankster [...], AminetRadio, all come with MorphOS

No, as jPV said.

> there are [...] some older supported players such as DigiRoller

The DB2/3 player DigiRoller is way newer than SongPlayer or AmiNetRadio.

> DigiBooster

DigiBooster2 and DigiBooster3 are commercial trackers. And the original DigiBooster doesn't run on MorphOS.

> ExciterPlayer

...is just a GUI for UADE.

I like Jukebox for it's nice mini size GUI, but I need to make the big version look better in MUI. Aminet Radio id also a very nice player with lots of functions. Then we also have the 68k AmigaAmp that works pretty OK despite it's age. A new version for 68k is on it's way. You can read how to get it to work here:

> the 68k AmigaAmp [...] works pretty OK despite it's age.

Well, the most recent m68k version is a mere 5 years old :-)

As pure audioplayer (no streams) prefer Songplayer. Partly out of habbit (I use it * since ~ 20 years now..), but also because it has a very small footprint, plays many file formats, has a well structured GUI and a balanced set of settings (not too much, not too few).

For streams I use mplayer.

--
* of course not the MorhOS version as MorphOS is not 20 years old yet, but I used the 68k version on my A1200 already.

I would recommend you DAPlayer by Thomas Rapp. Very good for some mods formats, and MP3 (or could I say PM3 (Packed Music 3)?) of course. I like Jukebox too.

Hi, I downloaded DAPlayer and I really like. On the webiste in the readme it states " id3tag.library to read ID3 tags" is needed to read id3 tags. I went to aminet and found libid3tag-morphos.lha. But I can't find anywhere that tells me what to do now. Where does this have to go for DAPlayer to use it to read mp3 tags?

Quote:

That's not the correct library. This is: http://aminet.net/package/util/libs/id3tag_lib (DAPlayer page has a link to it).

There isn't MorphOS native version of it, but you can use the 68k version.

Just copy the id3tag.library file from the archive to your SYS:Libs/ directory, and it should work automatically with the DAPlayer then.

@ JPV

Thanks, I'll do that. Do you happen to know if DAPlayer is still being worked on? It doesn't look like it has seen an update in a long time.

my ideal music player on MorphOS woudld be able to :


- play all lossless and hires format (including DSD) on an external DAC (i use JRiver on Windows and Audirvana on Mac) with direct access to hardware (no Directsound/CoreAudio/AHI ressampling shit)
- play libraries stored on NAS (or the ability to build a consistent library locally from NAS stored files)
- stream services such as Qobuz, Spotify etc.

but i don't think it will ever be possible on MorphOS !

No idea. I just noticed that I had downloaded and installed it couple years ago, but then I haven't used it ever :) It actually seems a nice program to play mods, so I'll probably start using it for that instead of UADE... although it doesn't seem to play all mods, but at least it has a GUI...

@JPV

thanks for the assist. I now have working mp3 tags. I am getting an error though, I put the press applet into sys/prefs but when I try to open it I get "Could not open the following library. Window Class Version:41"

id3tagLibPrefs needs http://aminet.net/package/dev/gui/classact33

Ok, got it and unzipped it. I can assume that the prefs folder goes into prefs. But, does hte class folder go into sys?

I'm sorry, I just don't know this system well at all. I unzipped the lha file, inside it were two folders one called "Prefs" and the other called "Classes" I don't know if I should take the files out of these folders and move them somewhere, or leave them in these folders and move the whole foder somewhere. I looked and could't find any documents and didn't see any install information.

> I can assume that the prefs folder goes into prefs.

Yes, the contents of /Prefs/ goes into SYS:Prefs/.

> does hte class folder go into sys?

Yes, the contents of /Classes/ goes into SYS:Classes/.

Grunch also has the ClassAct installer for automatic installation, but of course manual installation is pretty easy and good to learn :)

and there we go, it's all working now.

Thanks a lot to all of you.

:)
