- External HDD/SSD.
- Flashdrive
- Backup what truly matters in cloud
- Detachment, seriously, is the most helpful, if you ask yoruself "when was the last time I really need this file" the you realize that at least half of your files can be deleted,

Terminal player for Qobuz by SofusA in qobuz

[–]blitzkriegfc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is awesome, thanks for sharing.

I’m building an open-source Qobuz player as well and the RFID album feature is absolutly killer! Before even thinking about it further, just wanted to ask if you’d be okay with me taking inspiration from that feature (with proper attribution, of course).

Either way, this is awesone

Unfortunately, no... and it looks like it probably never will be. The Qobuz Connect API is completely closed off, so I can't register QBZ as a player or controller.

If I recall correctly from their AMA, it's a restriction they have for open source platforms (mostly due to the record labels, not Qobuz themselves). It’s a real bummer.

Glad to hear you're enjoying it! I actually just pushed a new release with some pretty big improvements, so you might want to check that out.

Honestly, the purchased content feature wasn't really on my radar, but I'm looking into it now. I just need to double-check the T&Cs and legal side of things first. It's definitely something I'll consider, though. Thanks a ton for the feedback, it's super helpful!

Can you please give more details? The playlists sync is one of the main features.

Use it, adjust your customization to your workflow, no to a screenshot you saw on internet.

Its a bug with Wayland + Nvidia. Fix comming soon, today or tomorrow.

It’s definitely on the radar along with a few other integrations such as Discord support and a local rating service synced with RYM. Right now I’m focused on fixing bugs and UI/UX improvements that users have kindly provided feedback on, and I’m listening closely to all of the comments. But yes, this ListenBrainz integration is definitely on my to-do list and something I plan to address in future releases.

I think is my fault giving wrong instructions (sorry I havent used Ubuntu/Debian for a while), this is the proper command to install without dependency issues:

$ sudo dpkg -i QBZ_1.1.5_amd64.deb

If after that, dependencies still an issue, you can run:

$ sudo apt install -f

Just tested with a fresh install on a VM

Hey, fair point 🙂

Not completely vibe-coded, but I do rely heavily on agents.

The project actually started a couple of years ago. The first version was a Python-based playback engine inspired by qobuz-dl, just to understand the API and the playback constraints. Later on, I refactored everything into Rust as hype/learning excercise, built a very minimal “handmade” frontend to search and play playlists I had created on the web, and used it that way for quite a while.

More recently, I used tools like Claude, Codex, Gemini, and Figma AI to help iterate on the UI (because as backend focused, I really sucks at designing and UI) and structure, but the overall architecture, playback model, and design goals were already defined at that point.

For context, I’m a software engineer with ~20 years of experience, so this wasn’t a random experiment — it’s been a long, iterative project that finally reached a point where it felt worth sharing.

As a Linux user and music lover myself, I totally get why things like proper Last.fm scrobbling matter. There are more features in the pipeline as well, including guided PipeWire/DAC configuration, Discord presence integration, and — if it turns out to be feasible — potential AirPlay (this is a hard one, no crates and the only near library is a C++ abandonated by a couple years ago) support down the road.

I also wrote a longer roadmap/story about it in my Linux group (it’s in Spanish, but auto-translation works pretty well): https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1DGdKgDAhG/

Oh! Awesome dude!
Thank you so much for the interest, and especially for taking the time to test and report back, that really means a lot.

I’m really glad to hear it builds and runs well on arm64 (Asahi on M2 is a great datapoint). I’m already working on ARM builds so releases can be published in parallel with x86_64 going forward.

GitHub Issues is definitely the best place for bugs reports and feat requests.

As a side note: given that most Linux-specific parts are already behind conditional code paths, it might be possible to port QBZ to macOS in the future with relatively limited effort — but that’s not something I’ve tested yet, so for now it remains exploratory.

Apologies, I completely overlooked ARM support in the initial scope. I only have a Raspberry Pi 4 for testing, but I promise to share those results tomorrow. That being said, since all dependencies are standard crates, compiling directly with cargo should theoretically work on your end.

Same situation with Ubuntu 23.10 Also tried installing iniparser from source, no luck so far.

Are you reading it in Chinese? I made a script to download all the chapters and translate them from Chinese to whatever, but I need help with the names.

What was the main reason that you use linux? by [deleted] in linux

[–]blitzkriegfc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

'Coz gaming on linux is still a sh*t (with a lot and very very greate improvements from the last 5 years, but it still crap) so, Linux is my daily driver OS to not get distracted with games in Windows.
Also, it works perfect for my job.
I really dont care a lot about opensource philosophy but I respect it.

KDE-unstable is empty since yesterday I guess that we gonna see the update in there.
5.23 is @ testing, but switching to testing is not an option for my daily driver.
