Foryour situation I'd recommend DeadBeeF. It's light, fast and, silly name aside, it can do exactly what you want. Just point the player to the folder you want to play, arrange the files alphabetically via the 'Title' column and let it play your music.

The problem is that a lot of simple players are just stupid. They crush, or won't natively open flac, ape or cue files and such, or, if you add them the needed plugins to play them, they crush after that etc.


But so it happens that the best player around is also the lightest and simplest if you do not need addons/plugins - it is still light and fast with all that, and that's why it is the best; but anyway:


Considering Winamp itself: why not try it in Wine? It seems fast and light. Unless you want to try the real best player for Windows, and, through Wine, a serious favorite as the best in Linux: Foobar2000. (See related answer.)


(But I'm curious: why would one want to play music files alphabetically?? In case your needs of just playing alphabetically one folder of mp3 files have become more complex in time, you might consider editing your question.)


You might use Fooobar2000 to edit track number(among other things) in bulk with the masstagger. Let's say I have some tracks with no number in tags but that are put in the correct order because of the name


I'd recommend decibel-audio-player. Simple, lightweight, efficient and made just to play music. Best replace for winamp2 for me.It's available through standard repository and at launchpad.


Playing music to people with dementia from their formative years vastly improves their cognizance and lucidity - the effects are dramatic, and are widely recognized by dementia and Alzheimer professionals.


Their construction is highly durable consisting of a strong wooden enclosure with a high strength plastic covering. The loudspeaker grille is cloth finished but reinforced with a steel mesh to avoid any damage to the speaker. Rubber feet ensure that the player does not slip. It can be wiped down with a damp cloth if required.


**great for a dance or two!!



NAME THAT TUNE; what a great activity to play. Download up to 1,000 songs. Open the lid to the music player and play the first few lines, then close it and let them guess. If they can't get the answer then open the lid and play more. When they get it right you can play the whole song or just press the button and go on to the next.


There are lots of tutorials on the web (again this is a 'how to operate your computer' problem) - try this one www.pcadvisor.co.uk/how-to/storage/how-format-usb... and your problems should be solved. There's a very clear video at youtu.be/ac3jaZ7DjGg if you prefer video help.


A. The internal memory is set at 4GB. Obviously the length of individual songs has an influence on the capacity. To some extent this is an academic question since most people with dementia are more than happy with a much smaller song list of say 25 to 40 tunes.


A. Yes, Simple Music Players bought since June 2015 have an Apple compatible USB interface. (Please note that it is not an Apple device so it cannot play 'Apple protected' .m4p downloads).



Q. I've reformatted the player, transferred the disk and now nothing plays?

A. If you reformat the player, you must choose an MSDOS-FAT format option, NOT an Apple IOS format.


A. We have to use a special technique and a more expensive production process to achieve this attractive finish. The casing is vacuum formed not injection molded for the-walnut version.



Q. Do you know if/how to change the order of the songs the player plays? Does it always go back to the first song? Any way it can "shuffle?"


A.We purposely don't have a shuffle function due to our front end research. The intent of the music player is to leave it permanently plugged in so that it plays in a complete loop (and doesn't require the additional operation of plugging the power in to make it work, for the person with dementia). Generally we have found that most people with dementia only require between 25 and 40 tunes and the familiarity of the cycle is more positive than a random choice. When it is stopped by lowering the lid, it will restart from that position (i.e. not from the beginning)


Obviously as a cognizant person if you keep switching it on at the mains and it starts playing the same tune then it becomes monotonous but this isn't what we've found with people with dementia. The continual loop of familiar music is far more associative than a random shuffle facility. The requirement for 'shuffle' tends to be the desire of a fully cognizant person, not the intended user.



Q.How do I delete the pre loaded music.



A. The Simple Music Player looks for and plays all the comparable files it finds on its internal memory regardless of which directory of folder they are in.

The problem arises when some operating systems(i.e. certain versions of Apple iOS and Linux) don't actually delete the files when you press the 'erase' button,but creates a hidden sub-folder called '.trash'(or similar like '.trash100',etc) and simply moves them into that folder.Whilst you can't see the files,they still exist and so the music player is finding them and playing them.

To resolve the problem you have two choices:



1) empty the .trash folder that's been created on the music player by your computer. In MAC OS X v10.3 or later,you can securely delete items by choosing Secure EMPTY TRASH from the Finder menu.There is information on how to do this here:

-Force-11481

(1) for example.



2) reformat the Simple Music Player memory card (this will delete everything on the Simple Music Player) and then drag and drop the music you want back on to it again.



Q. HOW TO REFOMAT?



A. The Simple Music Player acts exactly the same as if its a USB stick or flash drive plugged into your machine,so formatting is just the same operation. YOU MUST REFORMAT USING FAT32 OPTION;OTHER OPTIONS WILL NOT WORK.



YOU CAN ALSO GO TO WWW.DEMENTIAMUSIC.CO.UK AND THE ANSWER IS THE FORTH QUESTION ON THE LIST.



PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU ONLY POWER UP THE MUSIC PLAYER ONCE THE USB CABLE IS PLUGGED IN,OR ELSE IT WILL NOT OPERATE IN USB MODE

I'm looking for a music player for a box I'm currently building. I only need it to have a GUI, playlist support and random playing. I've thought of xmms2, but the standard package comes without GUI and I haven't found any clients with random playing.


Don't get me wrong, I love mpd but I don't think this is the thing the OP is looking for. You have to build a database before you can play anything and it's not that easy to add random songs from folders. You could use VLC, which is awesome too.


I've just completed a tutorial on C# language syntax from -station.com/Tutorial.aspxI'd like to get started programming a simple music player for practice. The music player should be able to index all the music files in a folder and be able to play them at random. Would someone point me to the right direction as to where I should start? Maybe a sample code from an opensource program? Thanks
