I can't get past the name. Can't sleep? talk to your doctor about prescription Amberol. (recite side effects for 2 minutes).
Insomnia must be high in the list of side effects...
I suspect it's named after Thomas Edison's Amberol phonograph cylinder, not a topical preparation for the treatment of haemorrhoids.
The name is truly garbage and made me AVOID the application for months. I installed it now because it is good despite the awful name.
LMAO my thoughts exactly...to close to Ambien.
I like the aesthetic, and I'm slightly sympathetic to the goal of making things as simple as possible. I just think they've gone a bit too far here. I couldn't use a music player without a playlist function.
Moc is my favorite playlists work great i was even able to use my clementine playlists with it.
Its a truly beautiful little music player as it is (0k maybe a name change) I wouldnt change a thing. Not too busy, not too shiny, and I can manage my music myself.
I have found that Lollypop is a great player which is very simple, but has a few of the features that I want. Basically, I want a library and the ability to create and save playlists. Lollypop allows me to do that. This Amberol looks interesting, but those two features - a Library and Playlists - are not bloat, are not too convoluted and useless. To me, any player should have that simple basic functionality. Another good player is Sayonara. I agree that Clementine is a little too much.
I like these type of videos where you show off applications, more would be cool.
Thanks for this. I'm a recent LINUX convert. Planning to give it a go for playback in our youth theatre camp program coming up. The Rhythmbox GUI is just a bit tedious. Hoping the larger and simpler controls will be a better fit for my students.
EDIT: Disappointing - The file names to not appear in the playlist. Only 01, 02, etc "unknown artist/album"
I use Clementine i have used it for years. similar use case as yours and it has never let me down.
@@bobbyfried7478 Hey thanks. I'll check it out.
I recommend mpv player instead. It is even more simple than Amberol and can play specific titles or create playlist on the fly by running mpv with multiple files from filesystem. In example I select the files in my filemanager and right mouse click open with mpv will play all of them in a dynamically created playlist.
For anything else music related I use cantata.
mpv is fantastic. You can even play youtube music by attaching the --no-video argument to a link, and even quickly make webms out of videos by using the third party mpv-webm lua script. I have aliases in my .bashrc that specifically just let me type short commands to start listening to youtube music playlists.
Thanks for the video ! Sometimes i just want a simple music player without all the distractions. This looks great. Excellent taste in music BTW.
My go-to as a simple music player is cmus. Almost no dependencies, available on all distros as a native package, terminal based, no need to fiddle with mpd, flatpaks and desktop environments. Nothing fancy, very basic, just works, lean on resources, etc.
I been using moc(music on console). a long time ago cmus gave me problems. It might been on my side wasn't sure. I just found moc which looks like cmus. moc never gave me any problems. So I stay with moc.
Music players is one area where Linux really lags behind Windows. There is no MusicBee or foobar2000 equivalent with their amazing customisation options.
Matt this app is a nice find for me. Thnx for scouring the web for those of us that don't have time too. Nice eye candy.
I really like this it, real simple and it looks real nice...
My method is to open given folder (a given artist containing all their albums) and play for hours. To change folders/artist I use the clear option and add another folder (Album/Artist)...
Nice vid Matt, Amberol not bad but for me moc.
was looking for a way to play some flacs on something that wasnt too bloated so thanks for the suggestion!! going to try and spin that up now
cool, I like the simplicity of it.
Oh man I haven't listened to Tantric in years!
It sounds like something I use for back pain.
my go to music players are either qmmp or audacious
yes, I used to use winamp
I miss Winamp. I miss the player I used years ago when I started using Linux. It was like Winamp, similar layout, had skins and all the features I wanted. Might even still exist if I could remember what it was called.
@@anon_y_mousse I believe the application is called xmms if I am not mistaken.
For simple music Player I use Audacious
It's the first app i've seen which legitimately could not work without libadwita
Looks so much like Plexamp thank you for helping me find this!
@user I use arch but I think distros are a preference more than a this one’s better than another
👍👍
You could have also shown how it does not look nice in a WM, I am curious now.
Doesn't have any of the color matching characteristics, just looks like whatever GTK theme you're using.
@@TheLinuxCast Oh, ok. Thank you.
I have about 4,000 songs. I tried Amberol and it's unusable for me. No way to organize, not playlists . . . . it's a nice idea but simple organization should be possible.
Y para leer la letra de las canciones que tengo en mis canciones?
every time i open it up it needs to manually open my music folder. that sucks... also it takes a long time
i tried this player today and it takes 1.4gb of ram every time it opens. that's insane.
Seems nice. Is it better than Clementine?
Not really comparable, tbh. Clementine has a ton more features. Amberol is very simple.
@@TheLinuxCast thanks. due to these features, I'm sometimes unable to play list. it can't simply add a music folder to play 🤣
I really tried to give amberol a chance but it seems completely broken on ubuntu 22.04. Doesn't recognise music titles and keeps forgeting to check the music folder for files.
cannot get the flatpak working on chomeos it just doesnt launch and no errors or even log in the console sad day it looks perfect, I'll just have to deal with vlc
I'm an mpd user and interface it with ncmpcpp
F9: Toggles the playlist. It works on my computer.
F10: Opens the main menu. It also works too.
As you have said, Amberol is too simple. I hope the developer may add some features soon.
I don't get why anyone needs more than one playlist. I just put everything in mine and if I stop wanting to hear a song for a while I remove it from the list. Although, if you've got a huge collection of music, it'd be a good idea to keep a playlist using relative paths, if necessary, to make importing it faster. I keep everything in ~/Music so paths can be absolute since it'll always be mounted the same.
@@Iainmaclennan70 I use Audacious as my regular player. I find that I don't like every song by every artist, except Radiohead, Linkin Park and the Beatles. And I also don't generally like the ordering to just be alphabetical or temporal, so I curate.
Fan of audacious..pretty much like winamp
QMMP is very similar to that. Supports Winamp skins too.
I have not yet come across a music player on Linux that also looks nice, all I hear is simple simple simple?.. 😫
there are a ton bus by far the best is sayonara player and fing close to foobar2000
nice app.
can you see the lyrics of a song whit it?
Looks just like g4 music
"Amberol" sounds like a prescription drug.....i may not always agree with your content or your opinions but i swear were musical twins...lol
tauon music box
I procrastinated for 6 years
Which Linux distribution is this? (your os)
Do you know plugins of vlc
i use spotify i don't need a music player :O
looks cripplingly modern which is the opposite of what I want out of my music player (and software in general), so I'll pass
qmmp and audacious might be better suited for you (if you like the winamp 2.9x aesthetics).
Those are my pick and they integrate the skins from the legendary player.
@@ariathyf144 I use Musicbee running through wine
@@ariathyf144 You sir, have just made my year. I've been using Audacious for a year now and didn't know it could do that.
Sounds like a psychotic mind-altering drug from our friends at Pfizer. 🤣🤣
You only need mpv. That's it.
Well, that depends on what you need from your music player.
