HOWTO: Installing GJay so that it works with OGGs
From the GJay site:
"GJay (Gtk+ DJ) generates playlists across a collection of music (ogg, mp3, wav) such that each song sounds good following the previous song. It is ideal for home users who want a non-random way to wander large collections or for DJs planning a set list. You can generate playlists from within the application, or run GJay as a standalone command-line utility."
GJay works if you just do
Code:
sudo apt-get install gjay
But...
...and there's always a but...
It does not recognize OGG files as songs. :-? I went checking through the GJay site to see there was any info about OGGs there. Although there wasn't much, a quick look at the dependencies listed indicated that some files were not getting set as dependencies in the GJay package being used by Ubuntu.
So, if you want to include OGGs in your GJay created playlists, do
Code:
sudo apt-get install gjay vorbis-tools
and all will be well.

Can I leave out the xmms-dev part?

xmms-dev is listed as a dependency for gjay on debian. See this. I'd have to assume that the same would be true for Ubuntu. You could try it without xmms-dev. If it doesn't work, adding xmms-dev should make it work.

The author talks about building gjay, that's why the dev packages are needed.
If you only want to install the binary via apt, it should be enough to make:
Code:
sudo apt-get install gjay vorbis-tools

Is there a sublime message in the name of the program? :D

Makes sense. I've already got it installed here using the method that I mentioned above. If anybody can verify that just gjay and vorbis-tools will do it, I'll change the original post.
