In addition, Exaile also includes a built-in SHOUTcast directory browser, tabbed playlists (so you can have more than one playlist open at a time), blacklisting of tracks (so they don't get scanned into your library) and more.
This release includes more improvements over our first alpha than I can name, and also fixes a number of bugs that were present in 0.2.14. We still lack any kind of iPod/PMP support and several other features, but the core player is now very solid. You can get the source or a deb from our downloads page, or if you’re using Intrepid and our Ubuntu PPA just install the new “exaile-devel” package.
Exaile 0.3.0a now has a working install target in the Makefile, so I’ve decided to start posting automated weekly tarballs for those who don’t want to use bzr snapshots. The first of these is located at http://www.exaile.org/files/weekly. They will be posted every Wednesday at 5:00pm.
Note: These are automated tarballs, and are in no way guaranteed to be remotely stable, or to even run at all. Use at your own risk.
Some of you might have noticed that the Shoutcast plugin hasn’t worked for a while, and wasn’t fixed with the 0.2.14 update. This is because they changed the way that their site looks, and so the plugin wasn’t able to parse it.
A quick look at our forums showed that someone had figured out how to fix it (at least until they change the format again), and so I’ve made the changes and released version 0.4.8 of the plugin (thanks JDorfler).
Exaile 0.3 uses Shoutcasts API, so it should be less susceptible to these UI changes.
0.2.14 has been released! This release includes a lot of bug fixes, and the lastfmradio plugin.
Also, we’ve put up the first source tarball for Exaile 0.3.0a. To use it, download and extract the tarball, then run ./exaile from within the source directory. Note: This is an alpha release, and yes we know that there are a lot of features missing. This is just barely a hint of what’s to come.
Check them both out on the downloads page.
