I am proud to announce the release of Pogo, probably the simplest and fastest audio player for Linux. The tarball and an Ubuntu PPA are available at http://launchpad.net/pogo What is Pogo? -------------------- Pogo plays your music. Nothing else. It tries to be fast and easy-to-use. Pogo's elementary-inspired design uses the screen-space very efficiently. It is especially well-suited for people who organize their music by albums on the harddrive. The main interface components are a directory tree and a playlist that groups albums in an innovative way. Pogo is a fork of Decibel Audio Player. Supported file formats include Ogg Vorbis, MP3, FLAC, Musepack, Wavpack, and MPEG-4 AAC. Pogo is written in Python and uses GTK+ and gstreamer. What's new in 0.5 "Rolling in the deep" (2012-01-12) ======================================= * Export tracks in playlist into a directory (with subdirectories) * Save playlist periodically to prevent losing it during a shutdown (LP:669132) * Usability: Select new track when old selected is deleted * Fix: Playback after pause should show the play icon, not the pause icon * Fix: Never interrupt playing song when appending new ones (lp:735619) * Cache music folders repeatedly to speedup searches * Let user remove music folders that were deleted from the hard disk * Do not add music folders that have been deleted * Apply fix from decibel: Skipping track just before the end skips the following track * Apply fix from decibel: Sort files case-independently * Apply fix from decibel: Raise the window of the already running instance if there is one * Apply fix from decibel: Create symbolic links to covers so that external apps can access them * Log all messages to log file * Updated translations Cheers, Jendrik
