No, there isn't. Maybe there should be.

You could make an issue for it if you want it!

@ravachol @varnia true but i try to avoid things like that if i have nothing to contribute. so far they both will install and run just fine. basically my only issue would be that i dont want those projects to die. metathesiophobia, i had to look it up but basically this is what it is. the things i love being phased out. but you know the whole attachment is suffering stuff i know its irrational. a tree has to die so another one can sprout or something like that lol

metathesiophobia

Hey, things move too fast nowadays. I feel the same way. I'm still on manjaro because it works and I want to support those goofs lol. Just keep using cmus, it's a cool project. Or you can have both. kew let's you start music pretty easily, for instance:

kew moon # plays moonlight sonata if you have it

kew nirv # plays your collection of nirvana music (shuffled) if you have it

kew thriller # plays thriller album (in order)

So maybe it has different use cases than cmus I dunno.

@ravachol hows manjaro with legacy nvidia? anything that has a specific command for moonlight sonata has to be good lol

[–] ravachol@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

I think it handles the legacy ones ok. You mean the recent change where nvidia dropped support?

It's just an example command, you can type a partial song name and it matches to the first song or directory you have that contains that string and creates a playlist automatically.
