🎵 Rhythmbox 3.5.1 a fost lansat: Playerul muzical clasic pentru GNOME primește corecții ReplayGain și îmbunătățiri de stabilitate!

A fost lansată versiunea de mentenanță Rhythmbox 3.5.1, o actualizare extrem de binevenită pentru celebrul player audio și gestionar de colecții muzicale nativ al ecosistemului GNOME. Această ediție se concentrează pe rezolvarea unor bug-uri de lungă durată legate de egalizarea volumului și compatibilitatea cu formate audio moderne.

✨ Punctele cheie ale acestei actualizări:

🎚️ Corecție critică pentru ReplayGain:
• A fost rezolvată problema ce împiedica funcționarea corectă a plugin-ului ReplayGain. Acesta ajustează automat nivelul de volum între melodii diferite pentru a preveni fluctuațiile deranjante în timpul redării playlist-urilor.

🔊 Optimizări pentru backend-ul GStreamer:
• Îmbunătățiri în procesarea fluxurilor audio și integrarea cu versiunile recente ale framework-ului GStreamer, oferind o redare mai stabilă pentru fișierele FLAC, MP3 și AAC.

🎧 Suport îmbunătățit pentru dispozitive externe și Podcast-uri:
• Corecții la nivelul sincronizării cu playere portabile (iPod / MTP) și remedierea erorilor la descărcarea și parsarea canalelor de podcast-uri cu feed-uri HTTPS securizate.

🐛 Stabilitate generală și bug-fixes:
• Eliminarea mai multor blocaje neașteptate (crashes) apărute la scanarea bibliotecilor de muzică de mari dimensiuni sau la manipularea copertelor de album (album art).

📌 Concluzie:

Deși mediul desktop GNOME promovează aplicații mai noi precum Decibels sau Music, Rhythmbox rămâne alegerea preferată de mulți utilizatori datorită funcțiilor sale avansate de organizare a colecțiilor locale de muzică. 🚀

Rhythmbox 3.5.1 is now available!

Rhythmbox, which is a music player, a tag editor, and a music organizer built for Linux and Unix-like systems, has recently been updated to version 3.5.1.

Rhythmbox 3.5.1 contains fixes to the ReplyGain plugin, which has been adjusted to work correctly with the new player backend. Starting from this version of Rhythmbox, you’ll no longer experience playback issues when using this plugin.

When building Rhythmbox from source code, you may encounter build failures due to compatibility problems, especially when using a newer GObject version with an older libpeas version. Starting from this version, you’ll no longer encounter build failures.

As for FLAC files that were obtained from Bandcamp, you can now play music with lyrics turned on without any friction. This is useful for karaoke sessions or for listening to music with lyrics displayed on screen.

You can learn more about this version of Rhythmbox here.

Rhythmbox 3.5 is now available!

Rhythmbox, which is a music player, a tag editor, and a music organizer built for Linux and Unix-like systems, has recently been updated to version 3.5, after nearly a decade in the release of version 3.4, which was out on August 14th, 2026.

Rhythmbox 3.5 now enables the newer playback backend as the default. This backend was introduced on Rhythmbox 3.4.9 as a replacement for the old cross-fading feature. This ensures that your listening experience becomes smoother than before.

When listening to music with lyrics, Rhythmbox can now search for lyrics for your songs via lrclib.net, which makes it easier for you to play music without having to search for lyrics file yourself. It can also read lyrics that are embedded within music files and extract them.

As for podcasts, the redesigned user interface allows you to get updates for the podcast feed and to download episodes more easily. When you view a specific podcast episode from the feed, you’ll be able to get clearer information without any hassle. Furthermore, a new plugin now allows you to manage your podcast subscription and episode synchronization between Rhythmbox and other podcast clients via the gPodder.net API.

You can learn more about this version of Rhythmbox here.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@geekland/116404272206986703

I tried it from AUR and it's functional for what it is... I liked it, it looks like #Rhythmbox should continue 👇🎧

Euhh... C'est quoi ce phoque ?

Dans une installation #Fedora 44 / #Gnome 50, on n'a plus d'application de musique par défaut ?

Plus de #Rhythmbox ?

Pas de #GnomeMusic ?

On a un machin de lecture audio à la place ?!

🤔 😠 🤪

With the update to Debian 13, #rhythmbox did not show lyrics embedded in my ogg/vorbis files anymore. It turned out to be caused by a change in the underlying #gstreamer, and I wrote a patch for Rhythmbox to adjust: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/rhythmbox/-/merge_requests/205

#LinuxMint kommt ja schon mit einer Auswahl an Programmen, mit denen man im Prinzip direkt anfangen kann zu arbeiten. Na ja, ein bisschen Einrichtung gehört wie immer schon dazu, will man die Programme nach seinen Vorlieben einrichten. Wer mehr will, muss manchmal aber auch suchen. Daher habe ich einmal eine Liste der Programme zusammengestellt, die ich auf meinem #iMac unter LinuxMint 22.3 installiert habe. Vielleicht hilft es ja jemandem.
Kann aber keine Garantie geben, dass die Programme alle funktionieren. Installation und Benutzung der Programme erfolgt auf eigene Verantwortung und Gefahr!

#LinuxMint comes with a selection of programs that you can basically start using right away. Of course, as always, a little setup is required if you want to configure the programs to your liking. Those who want more sometimes have to search. Therefore, I have compiled a list of the programs I've installed on my #iMac running Linux Mint 22.3. Maybe it will be helpful to someone.
However, I can't guarantee that all the programs will work. Installation and use of the programs is at your own risk!

In the past few years I've been using #rhythmbox, not because I like it but because it is what I found that "gets the work done".
I was a fan and user of #Amarok for many years, until its development stalled, and forks and alternatives like #clementine showed up but never quite managed to take over - and I haven't been satisfied with a music player ever since. I know that "Amarok is back" since last year, and I'm looking forward to try out the new/modern versions, but it is not available for the current version of #Ubuntu LTS which is what I am using in the machine I'd use it on, so I might just wait for Ubuntu 26.04 before trying it...

I still like #rhythmbox.

#linux

@nomiddlename I've read that #Rhythmbox will play CDs without having to rip... but I havent used it for that myself.
