About
pmusicHistory History
pMusic is a bash script / GtkDialog based Music Player developed by Sigmund Berglund. It is quite well featured considering Puppy Linux's mantra of "Light and Sweet". Still, it misses features found in the bigger alternatives. Remember, the pMusic package is a mere 100k.
- The skins is mostly restricted to gtk-theming.
- Streaming support is limited to mp3/ogg streams.
- No support of drag'n drop from file browser.
- No embedded web pages.
The main idea of building pMusic, is to keep dependencies to a minimum. That is why pMusic fits in a tiny environment without all kind of libs. The core engine is built around ffmpeg and alsa - only. It will sure benefit of some other backends like cdrtools and streamripper. For a complete list of dependencies; type 'pmusic -D' in a terminal.
pMusic is also a showcase of writing gui with bash scripting. This is done with the help of gtkdialog gtkdialog.
