Not sure where to put this - but I would like to make a gtk gui that allows the user to select a wav file, then feed it to aplay and have start and stop buttons to control playback.
(Planning to use this when testing VanillaDpup which currently has no mplayer or deadbeef, but does have aplay - which handles wavs but not mp3)
Currently I just open a terminal and run aplay and type the file name but I would like to either have a file selector to choose the file or else rightclick the file and have it passed direct to the gui.
I can set up "open with" to get the file into aplay - but then I have no gui to stop playback and am relying on "killall aplay" to terminate it. I always get confused when trying to pass @u or similar arguments that specify the file name etc.
Does someone already have a basic gui on hand to achieve this please?
(VanillaDpup has very few libs and I am trying to get stuff done using the most basic of utilities)
EDIT Some useful options here:
- Thunor's PlayMusic pet works very well and is nicely configurable.
Doesnt matter if you only have basic audio utilities or massive codec/format support this simple utility is really worth a look:
