Klactoveedsedstene Klactoveedsedstene is an Audio Player frontend to the popular Mplayer engine, written in Java. It is not an all-round over-all Media Player, like Mplayer, but only an Audio frontend for WMA and MP3 files. It has a low footprint, as is fast to load and use. It can be launched directly from the Internet, using Java Web Start.
Features:
Klactoveedsedstene has no concept of a playlist. It has a Media Library, into which one imports ones music collection. The library is organized in three hierachical panels, Artist, Album, Track, as is common to many Audio Players. In these panels, the user can select any subset of tracks and play them, in effect as a virtual playlist. Audio files can be imported by Drag-and-Dropping them onto the GUI from any graphical File Manager. The Track panel is organized in multiple columns such as title, artist, album and genre which can be sorted and moved.
Klactoveedsedstene can play any Audio formats, supported by Mplayer, however only for MP3 and WMA, are meta-tags and embedded Album Art read. Thus, it is in practice an Audio Player for these two formats, which are by far the two most common. Support for other formats might be part of a future release.
Klactoveedsedstene uses the ID3 tags to find pertaining Album Art from the Internet. Only the two tags Artist and Album are used as search criteria. Tags can not be edited in Klactoveedsedstene, but must be done with some other software. A tag editor is planned for a future release.
The Album Art Support is quite comprehensive. For each album imported to the Media library, Klactoveedsedstene will try to find some associated Album Art. There are three possible sources, searched in the following priority:
Almost all GUI elements can be colored through configuration settings.
The Player is controlled at the bottom of the GUI on a panel that ressembles that a Stereo rack. Track progress is shown as a Progress Bar that overlays the Song information in the same simulated LED panel. One jumps back and forth in the track by clicking on the Progress Bar with the mouse.
