Linux Newbie: Windows substitute software

Thanks dude. I'm busy playing around with it myself.

Nope, if I click on a track it automatically starts (immediately). Didn't see any settings to change that.
(seems you beat my post)

So you already have a song playing when you open another one? And it then plays the next song?

 

[Swift-wp]

I've checked every setting. It still just enques the next song i open once there is already one playing. Frustration starting to set in...

I personally don't think so. I hate that it doesn't play the song when I double click on it or press enter when I search it in the library. Or is there a fix for that?

I'm not sure what you mean - I've just double clicked on a song in my collection (ie not in the playlist) and listen - clandestino.

Oh wait, didn't see this. When I clicked on the the song earlier - my playlist was empty. And when I'm listening to something and double click on a song in the collection, it's added to the playlist. IMO - that's the right way to do things. Otherwise every time you try to add a song to the playlist it'ld get played, interrupting the previous song. That'ld just be irritating for me. But I guess we use amarok in different ways.

Ya I think we do. There should at least be an option to turn that function off.

Then how would you add songs to the playlist?

I also dislike this - especially because I often have a radio station streaming etc, so the "current song" (radio station) will never end...

Drag and drop?


But yeah, should be a setting for this. I hardly ever listen to music when I work, so not worth the effort - but the OP of this topic can surely add it to a wishlist.

There is an option to add a song when you press a certain key (brings up a menu), can't remember the key though.

If you are in the playlist itself, e.g "All music" and you then double click on the song, it should play straight away. But this was one of my main annoyances with Amarok. So now I just use Banshee/Rythmbox.

If you want a similar program to amarok, that looks better and has less bloat, try: Exaile.
