Is there a mediaplayer that can play folders?
 

Most mediaplayers I have seen for the N800 work through a library which is read from the mp3tags. I would like mediaplayer that also support selecting and playing from musicfolders. Is there such a mediaplayer for the N800?

Re: Is there a mediaplayer that can play folders?
 

Yes there is, it's MEDIABOX.

You can find it here: http://mediabox.garage.maemo.org/

Go to Download and chose you preferes method (.deb or Repositories )
Your all set then.
PS: Dont forget to install mplayer (https://garage.maemo.org/frs/?group_...elease_id=1338) and python 2.5 (http://pymaemo.garage.maemo.org/) before.

Hope that helps.

Where can I find xmms? Do you happen to know if audacious is also available for the N800?

Re: Is there a mediaplayer that can play folders?
 

Audacious is not available for the N8xx.

Kilikali -- sort of -- does: You can select a directory for the playlist and it will add all the songs in that directory.

thats the one. If you need help installing it then shout.

once installed remember to reboot to see the short cut and the text in the menu options.

Another option:

mpd -- (Music Playing Daemon) a music playing daemon; it sits idly in the background until you want something played, then sits busily in the background playing it. No user interface.

Use it in conjunction with one or more of:

mpc -- (Music Player Control) command-line controller; not especially
helpful (mostly).

mmpc -- (Maemo Music Player Control) works quite nicely, interface similar to OS2007 built-in media player.

powerlaunch -- Not sure this is available for OS2008, but alters behavior of hardware keys. Can be used to control mpd with display off and touchscreen input ignored.

(other software) mpd has a network interface, so you could even control it from your desktop machine. Saves fishing it out of your pocket, I guess. :)

At the moment, I'm mainly using mmpc.
