[request] XM audio support #281

Closed azev closed 3 years ago

azev commented 4 years ago

Equalizer, essential in any player.

Module format support: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XM_(file_format)

clangen commented 4 years ago

An equalizer is already included -- just press CTRL+e in the library or player views.

Something like this may be useful: https://lib.openmpt.org/

I am interested in having support for module formats as well, as it will be far superior to use musikcube than any other weird player. I'm currently using XMPlay for modules - but that is just kind of Windows 95 in the bad way.

Would it be possible to add playback formats to musikcube using input plugins?

This is something I've wanted to do for a while, and finally got around to it today -- it seems to be working. Needs some cleanup and additional testing, but there's a branch here:

https://github.com/clangen/musikcube/pull/354

It'll be part of the next release.

Sweet! 🙌 Looking forward to trying it out :)

So it seems very common for mod / xm / tracker files to not contain artist or album metadata -- curious how you folks that are interested in the feature would think about grouping / sorting these entries? I guess we can have default [unknown xm artist] and [unknown xm album] values, then allow the user to configure them in settings. Is there any better solution? 🤔

Most mod collections are grouped in folders - so I will be using the directory listing for this (as I do for all other music anyways).

Here I have searched for folders in the Modland collection by the artist Maktone. I found multiple, but opened only two of them.

Here it is ordered into module formats before the artist folder. Here Protracker and SNDH and then Maktone:

To find all the other Maktone folders, I would like to be able to search on folder names only.

On another note, artist usually will write stuff in the sample listings - but since this is just freetext I don't see myself sorting on it or searching for it. But I think it is very important to see this listing when playing the tunes!
