I use Jaangle for Music Player in Desktop, how about you?

Hi all,

I have recently successfully removed the HDD off my old WD 1TB My Book.

Something like this:


And now that my hdd is connected to my pc via SATA. I am now happy to get back into playing music from my old music collection, which is about 172 gb.

So I hit the website of my favorite PC Music Player:

http://www.jaangle.com/

But got a little sad, it hasn't been updated for a while. Long time Jaangle user here. So I thought I'd share some info about it:


I know it's not really popular, but it's extremely out-of-the-box. After you tell it where's your music collection. It will create an sqllite (i believe) database for it which is fast (depending on your collection size). After you play a song you want, it will now auto play like a radio. In my experience, the algo for it's radio feature is really good. UI is really great too, easy search, shortcuts. Artist bio is downloaded automatically, artist/album picture, lyrics too, the thumbnail picture in your music directory is taken care for you too (see screenshot below); all hands-off.

It's written in C++, so it's very fast, and best of all: it's open source! Also the author is there in website forum; he responded to me several times when I was playing around on making a Java ME (pre-android/iphone era) app remote-control via bluetooth, good stuff.


here's a screenshot of it:


there's also a naming the song game with different game modes (only found out about this now):


Note:
If you have your collection separated into several directories, e.g. mp3/alt, mp3/grunge, mp3/metal etc., then I suggest you add them separately.

How about you good folks of off-topic wraeclast? What desktop music player do you use?

Also, what mp3 tag software do you use? I've just installed picard, so far so good.

Foobar. :V Configure everything by yourself, exactly the way I like it.

I just use spotify ;-;
