Frequently asked questions ( 5 )

Q

Is this support cue sheets?

A

Not currently, but I plan to.
There is a very limited support with this plugin, it adds a context view which displays the cuesheet of the playing file (if it has the same filename with the .cue extension), and allows you to skip to the different tracks. But gmusicbrowser will still see the file as a single song.

Q

How do I move my music to a new folder?

A

Use the following command:
perl -pi.premove -e 's#/OLD_FOLDER/#/home/MY_NAME/Music/#g' ~/.config/gmusicbrowser/gmbrc

Q

What was its best alternative?

A

The alternatives are,
Clementine,Rhythmbox and it goes on

Q

How do I get an all-in-one window like in the screenshots?

A

Change the "Player window layout" in the "Layouts" tab of the settings dialog. A number of layouts are available, more can be created.

Q

Why are the filter panels on the right side of the default browser window?

A

I initially developed gmusicbrowser on a slow machine. With this disposition, the song list doesn't need to be redrawn when resizing the panels, so it's faster.
