Zaurus - pdaXrom / Pdaxrom Needs A Better Music Player!
« on: February 16, 2006, 05:59:48 pm »
One thing that I really miss from the Cacko Rom is the Sharp music player. I really prefer the iPod-ish database style interface and I was wondering if we could get something similar on pdaXrom.
The two candidates I was looking at were Rhythmbox and AmaroK. Basically I'm looking for a player which will let me find music by artist, album, genre, etc. Oh and it needs to do a decent job of running full screen rather that as a tiny little window.
Does anyone have experience of either of these two (I don't have access to a big Linux box at the moment to try them myself) or any other player which might be suitable.
Also, I would be interested in opinions on how much work they would be to port (something I'm fairly new to)? I think at the moment that Rhythmbox would be easier (need to port GStreamer too) but I'd appreciate any comment.
(Once I get an mp3 player sorted out then I only need to persuade Maslovsky to port Kino2 and everything will be peachy )
