I installed youamp and it appears to work pretty well.

I did run into a problem where an invalid mp3 file confused it. It would start but would never clear the message about updating the library. I then started it from a terminal window and found it hit an error "ID3NoHeaderError" and just stopped there. I removed the file and it is now running.

I would like to see it use the file name if it can't get a title. I have many files displaying none in all 3 columns.

Processor usage seems nice and low.

I would also like to see some sort of amp or boost so I can boost the volume of mp3 like many other non maemo players have. I have not found any maemo player that has this yet.

I will post the bug and feature request to the project also. I just my findings may help others.

thanks for letting us try this. i started it about 10 minutes ago, saying it is building a database. how long do you expect it takes to scan 1000 files?

is it making a huge file ?

where does the youamp database get written?

youamp never started!

found reason by running in terminal. hangs like this;


ile "debian/python2.5-mutagen/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/mutagen/id3.py", line 211, in __load_header
ID3NoHeaderError: '/media/mmc2/disk1-mp3/RedneckSongs_02/Dead_Kennedys-Night_of_the_Living_Rednecks.mp3' doesn't start with an ID3 tag



remove/rename file solves problem. youamp goes to find other bad tags

pj

I like the screen layout.
Nice big buttons, no cryptic fancy doodah icons.

thanks for the replies. I could reproduce the bug with the invalid files and fixed it.

So here is a new release:
* Preferences dialogue added
* Replagain should work with Ogg too now
* media scanner does not choke on invalid files

Download

I just found out, that the last YouAmp release was wrong linked; if you tried to download YouAmp 0.2.1 from my website you actually got YouAmp 0.2.0.

Only if you got it from the the garage page you actually got 0.2.1. This is fixed now. Sorry for the inconvenience.



as a compensation there is a small update for both youamp and mutagen:

* YouAmp 0.2.2 does not index the Maps ogg on the N810
* Both Mutagen and YouAmp dont ship the Python sources in order to keep size down anymore

Nice.

How do I remove a song from the database, or delete the database?
I had a bunch of mono files it didn't like. It wouldn't play them or read their IDs.
I re-encoded them, but they're still in the list.
I deleted home/user/.musicdb, but YouAmp recreated it, with the missing files.

My application is kind of special purpose, but this looks great.
I would love to see a "repeat one track" function.

currently there is no way, to select which files go into the database. Although internally there is a blacklist, there is no easy way to edit it.
My plan for later releases it to let you choose which folders to index.
But the next feature will be a artist/album/track browser.

If you want to reapeat a single track, the easiest way would be to search for it so its the only one in the playlist.

I'd like to delete the database, but I can't find it. Hints?

usually deleting /home/user/.musicdb should do it...
