  • Suggest some local music player for debian based distros
    Gmusicbrowser is pretty good feature-wise. It's very configurable and has many different layouts. It might not look very modern by default, but with a modern gtk theme and some fiddling it looks okay to me at least. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Prima: Cross-platform GUI toolkit written in Perl
    Perl actually had a pretty good UI story way back when. Perl/Tk always was well documented and Perl's syntax works quite well with the original Tcl-ish/Shell style. Note that GIT's default GUI parts are written in exactly that. Tk then hit a bit of a limit when it came to common widgets, and so got less popular. Perl also had a good implementation of Win32, if I remember correctly. These days, both Perl and GUIs... - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

  • Should I learn Perl
    One good-sized open source Perl-based GUI example is gmusicbrowser. It's not the most cross-platform and the coding style has some minor deviations from the norm, but it's not that hard to follow and big enough be more than just a minor toy. Source: over 2 years ago

  • Ask HN: Flac/MP3 listeners: How do you store/play your music?
    I'm not sure if this would fit all your needs aside from running on Linux but Ampache [1][2] has been around for a very long time and has the ability to mesh with other instances. It started as a small project run by some students at OSU and evolved over time. [1] - https://ampache.org/ [2] - https://github.com/ampache/ampache. - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago
  • self-hosted alternative to spotify?
    Https://ampache.org/ could be an alternative. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Step Up in Linux knowledge
    You can also do something such as build a mp3 server on headless Debian install https://ampache.org/. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Where I can do my backup?
    Now it's time to make backups of my nextcloud, bitwarden, ampache files. Source: over 1 year ago
  • What's yout preferred selfhosted music streaming suite?
    Ampache. I've been using it for a while and it's great. I'd suggest using it with Ample, as Ample's UI is better. It supports the Subsonic API, so subsonic clients will work with it. It also supports DAAP and uPnP, for other clients. It has it's own API as well, but not many apps use that. Source: over 1 year ago
