satyr in GitHub
After several months thinking about it, and just two requests, I finally decided
to publish satyr's code. I decided to use github because I already switched to
satyr from hg to git, mainly for testing and understanding it. I think I
can live with hg, althought branch management in git seems to be given more
thought and a good implementation.
So, without further ado: satyr in github
Remember, it's still a test software, by no means polished or ready for human
consumption, and with very low development force. Still, I think it has some
nice features, like interchangeable skins and a well defined backend, D-Bus
support, quick tag edition, reasonable collection managment, and, thanks to
Phonon, almost-gapless playback and things like «stop after playing the
current this file» (but not «after any given file» yet).
In Debian Sid it mostly works only with the GStreamer backend; I haven't tried
the xine one and I know VLC does not emit a signal needed for queueing the
next song, so you have to press «next» after each song. AFAIK this is fixed
upstream.
