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.

In his later years, Oofty Goofty used to like to sit on the front porch of the General Store and
reminisce about the time he let the late, great John L. Sullivan hit him with a billiard cue.
