Update 21 Feb 2012: Now in the testing CR is a new version 0.3.5.

Check out the article here: http://www.webupd8.org/2012/02/guayadeq ... eased.html

Update 12 June 2011: We have a nice new version 0.3.1, backported from Debian Sid, in the main testing CR. I'm listening to a Shoutcast stream in it right now--does the "Record" button create an .ogg file with ID3 tags? Sure does.

Please let us know how this works for you if you give it a try. Thanks!

Guayadeque 0.2.9, with many improvements, is now in the main test repository. You will have to manually install the gstreamer "ugly" plugins package to be able to play mp3 files, but I am uploading an update to auto-install the plugins along with Guaydeque. This was built form the raw upstream source using Debian's procedure for the previous release.

Here's the release announcement: http://guayadeque.org/forums/index.php? ... 9-released

Seems really nice on my machine! Please let us know how it's working, Thanks!

Bump: 0.2.9 in main, new version 0.3.1 in testing.

It does shoutcast really well.

Is there anyway to minimize it to the tray only like DeadBeef or Clementine, etc?

Sure, in Preferences--General, just check the "Close to Tray" option.

OMG, I am such an idiot! How did I miss that? (lol)

Thanks buddy, that works perfectly! I had missed the shoutcast plugin from the old amarok. I had gotten in the habbit of going to www.shoutcast.com and just saving certain stations to .pls or .m3u files. Between Deadbeef, Clementine and Guayadeque, I have about everything I enjoyed from the old amarok!!!

You still da man Setvo.

thanks, its very helpful.

cheers

Bump: nice new update to 0.3.5 now in test repo.

Nice player. Thanks Stevo
