How to install Guayadeque music player

11 February 2010 No Comment

Let’s face it. Installing software in Ubuntu is drop-dead simple if it is in the repositories. Unfortunately, Guayadeque music player is not in the repositories – an no, I cannot pronounce the name of the software either… I am going to call it Gua for short. The user interface is tabbed for efficiency and acts as a central resource player for podcasts, music, and more.

Features include:

* ability to play mp3, ogg, flac, wma, mpc, mp4, ape, etc
* Read and write tags in all supported formats
* Label your music with catalogues
* You can download album covers on the net or manually
* Music suggestion via last.fm
* File categorization by genre, artist, album
* shoutcast radios
* Allow to subscribe to podcasts and download all new episodes automatically or manually
* Dynamic or static play lists
* Tracks tag editor with automatically fetching of tags information for easily completion
* Lyrics downloads from different lyrics providers. etc
* Allow to resume play status and position when closed and reopened
* track rating system

Installing

It is pretty darned simple actually. Open up Terminal and get to it.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:dtl131/mediahacks

Next, update the source list
sudo apt-get update

Install Gua with the normal syntax in Terminal – you know, “apt-get install?”
sudo apt-get install guayadeque

There! You are all done. Go and enjoy your media player and get back to me.
