This directory contains jukebox, a music player for large collections of audio files.
This jukebox distribution is a fork of squentin's gmusicbrowser as of version 1.1.16 with the following little differences:
- added Papirus-Light icons
- added Trinity-like icons to approximate the look and feel to trinity-gtk-theme
- removed Elementary icons
- updated Artistinfo plugin to show all available albums from last.fm and search Artist on torrent trackers
- updated Notify plugin: more actions
- added new option "minimize main window instead of hide"
- ported gmusicbrowser's little fixes and adjustments for new mpv versions
The original sources can be downloaded from:
- https://github.com/squentin/gmusicbrowser
- https://gmusicbrowser.org/download/gmusicbrowser-1.1.16.tar.gz
This is a deprecated software! While squentin's gmusicbrowser is actively maintained and ported to GTK+3.0, and has a relatively big group of users & hackers that are continuing development, it's highly recommended to use gmusicbrowser instead of jukebox.
The following feature-list is just a copy of gmusicbrowser's features with some additions described above in the differences.
The main features are almost the same as gmusicbrowser has:

WIP
Migration from gmusicbrowser is highly unrecommended since gmusicbrowser is fine and well maintained program with gtk3 support (unlike jukebox). See https://gmusicbroser.org and https://github.com/squentin/gmusicbrowser for more information.
