I downloaded and will test on a raspberry pi board.

As for ogg and wma compatibility, it magically appeared a few hours after
I was having troubles with those files. I suspect that there is a permissions
problem with my windows server. I have had problems with applications
recognizing the files located in a server folder properly and even the open dialog in applications
can't find the windows server, so I must drag the files out of the server folder with rox filer.

pMusic 5.2 can be installed on top of an older version of pMusic.

pmusic 5.2 works well in quirky alpha,
however there is some code in the pinstall.sh file
that quirky alpha doesn't like and it stops the install.
I had to make special pet package (removing pinstall.sh) and using dir2pet.

That is strange - since it was Barry that made the pinstall script to make pMusic the defualt audioplayer when building Puppy from Woof...

I'll report this to BarryK.

Hi guys,
I will check out what is wrong with the pinstall.sh file.
I will update to the latest pmusic, and anything else that needs updating.
Note, there is a whole lot of stuff that needs to be updated in Quirky, I notice for example, rerwin has been very active, with some new networking PETs.
don570, thanks for doing the testing!

I been testing further.
The problem is the version of Bash that Slacko uses.
Maybe it's the archiver app isn't totally compatible with the version of bash
when the pet package is made or else it's the dearchiving process
is giving a message that bash rejects.
SFR seems to understand...
Something about bash recognizing the += operator

Minor bug report of sorts.
I haven't ripped any music from CD for a long time. It works great!
However a visual aspect isn't so appealing. When you click the 'rip' button in pmusic_CD gui the rip gui works fine but it leaves a stale pmusic_CD gui (like the old concrete block from PPM that bigpup reported - and you fixed - a long time ago). Yes I know it is a GTK/linux/foss bug but I also know that you have the gtkdialog smarts in your repertoire to work around it.
EDIT: also NADS theme isn't working if CD is started by clicking drive icon.

The gui issue should be fixed by a simple '&'

When it comes to missing Nad5 theme, this is actually done by purpose.
The command in /usr/local/bin/pmusic_cd is set to use the GTK theme (a basic extension of the active gtk-theme)
This also is the fact for the radio frontend. If you want pMusic to use the Nad5 theme for all frontends, I will change the exec

Ok, best leave it as is.

A nice feature would be to copy the albumart.jpg (if found) in ~/.pmusic/tmp to the rip directory. I did this manually for about 40 cd's
and transferred them (the ripped albums + art) to a micro SD card for use in an android phone (sony) and they show up just fine with the generic 'albumart.jpg' name in the music app.
I suspect this would work well too for
DLNA. Slacko has
minidlna in the PPM which works with 'smart' TV and other so called 'smart' things.

LATER:
line 679 in 'func' has a syntax error...
Miss placed apostrophe.

Yes, interesting feature. While writing this, I don't see clearly how to implement it. No, It's not hard to copy the imagefile to the output directory, but the export function in pMusic is not restricted to export only one album (or source). In the next release you'll meet an even more flexible export structure...
Maybe it could include an attribute if exporting from the CD frontend to tell that all tracks comes from the same album...
Another approach is to add another option in the export dialog to choose an image for the given output directory. This will give the user more control, but also increase the gui complexity which I try to avoid. The export dialog is already not straightforward...
let's give it some thinking.

Fixed - Thanks a lot!

Here's a suggestion if you've not thought of it before...
Some versions of Rox filer have an 'Open With' menu item
The list of apps it produces is the link icons that it finds in /root/.config/rox.sourceforge.net/SendTo/
So if you put these links (see image below) in that folder they would show up as a possible launch app
when right clicking on a music file.

The latest Puppy (7) has pMusic in 'Open with' menu to either play file or add it to the queue if pMusic is already is running.
Add recursively is a valid option only for directories, and is available as well from the Rox right-click menu.
Am I missing something?

Sometimes things takes a new turn not expected.
Working with new export features (also albumart-request by 01micko), lead to a complete new gui-build.
New features gives complexity, and is not what I strive for. It was the time to take a look at new ways of doing things, and this one is sure different. There are cons, but on the positive side; no one should be scared of the default dialog.
The screenshot shows an empty export list which easily can be populated via the list header buttons. You can of course send selected files to the export dialog from the right-click menu in both the playqueue and the sourcelist.

I am using the arm version of quirky Xerus where there is bug.
I think barryk put in wrong link.

pMusic for French Slaxen on test Bench.
Only Aqualung would be able to list CD titles ? I am sure that Pmusic will do it. (confirmed)
In Spite of CDs are still successful in music shops, our Puppy devs cannot test because they have no CDs available.. Those that i hold at home are gifts, i must recognize.
Asunder now gets titles from the web, freedb.org.

I'm using quirky xerus for raspberry pi2 board.
I see the following link created by BarryK
Is this right? I don't have an internet connection to test it.
It makes a list of internet radio stations.
Wouldn't a link that does adding to music playlist make more sense?

This does not seem right. pMusic has 3 *.desktop files, so you have to link to the right one.
Your proposal is correct.
