(the screenshots are from version 0.0.5)
Please note this is a development version of PlaybaK, you may see a lot of bugs and there are missing a lot of basic features like repeat or aspect ratio.
The idea of creating PlaybaK was based upon a mockup created by menace1982 that you can see here: http://kde-look.org/content/show.php/A+Media+Player+for+KDE4?content=94472
PlaybaK is (or will be) a combination of the best functions of several multimedia players and is capable of playing music and videos (soon CDs, DVDs and photos). It is able to distinguish different types of videos (music videos, TV shows, movies, personal videos,...) but it still has some bugs. PlaybaK allows you to read the song's lyrics (soon it will fetch the lyrics and timed lyrics if available) and also allows you to know more about the singers with a brief search made by PlaybaK itself.
Certain basic functions are not available yet. As an example, for now, there are no visualizations due to Phonon's limitations.
A further development of PlaybaK will depend on everyone's opinion on it. Therefore, it would be appreciated if you commented below, reporting opinions, problems, suggestions...
We hope you will enjoy KDE Media Player.
How to add timed lyrics
1. Search the lyrics
2. Open the music on KDE Media Player
3. Right click the music in the playlist and click "Edit lyrics..."
4. Paste the lyrics you found.
Hard way:
5. Do the same for each line: move the cursor to the line, set its time
Easier way:
5. Click "Save", play the music and press record button located in the middle top box (you should see the lyrics on it, if you don't, double click the song).
6. Click the bottom of the box when someone says the next line.
7. Click save button once you're done
8. Disable record mode pressing the button again
9. Double click the music in the playlist and enjoy
(later it will be possible to download timed lyrics)
Coming features on next version (0.0.8)
- Subtitles support
- Costumization
- Album cover fetch
- Better Nepomuk integration (if possible)
- Better collection (including artist/album/track editors)
- Brazilian Portuguese language

Source code was released
I'm new in KDE and QT programming, my program has some weird, useless or bad code. I used a KDevelop template to start programming KDE Media Player. I would like if someone could make DEB and RPM packages.
May 8, 2010
KDE Media Player 0.0.6 released
- Collection - up to now it can look for files and organize them by itself, you can't manage the files yet and it might not show some found musics it found.
- Improved multimedia information - KDE Media Player saves the picture of the artist so it won't donload it all the time and it can also be shown in other places like system tray's icon tooltip
- Czech and Portuguese(European) languages available (French comming soon) - media information page will look for information in your language (Czech or Portuguese)
- Some bug fixes (lyrics editor now works)
- All options in setting's general page now work

PlaybaK 0.0.7 released
- New name and icon (thanks to menace1982)
- Collection improvements: no more SQL, it now uses simple text files; it is now possible to update the collection; some people couldn't have collection working because they had a lot of files, it should be fixed now
- Compact mode (it isn't that compact yet)
- Video area isn't black anymore while playing songs: It let's you rate your songs and suggests you other songs to listen to
- Nepomuk integration (unfortunately my desktop got broken and I can't make Nepomuk work on my laptop so Nepomuk integration can have some bugs and isn't complete yet)
- Added some basic features like repeat and random
- Available in: Czech, English, German, Italian, Portuguese and Russian

I'm having a hard time compiling this app, where can
I find a list of dependencies needed for this app
to compile?
Also where can I find the "INSTALL" file which includes
the install instructions?
So far I got this, I tried to compile with the usual
mkdir build ; cd build ; ccmake ../ ; make && sudo make install
------
so at first I got this:

in the file you have:

but for me it needs to be:

What distro do you use? I've compiled it on Kubuntu and openSUSE and it works.
I'll release next week new version perhaps. New version won't use sqlite so you won't have those problems.
It only depends on KDE4, QT4, taglib and sqlite.
I'll try not to forget to add a INSTALL file on next version.
#include "sqlite3.h" includes a file that's in the same folder where KMP source code is.

Sounds very good!
>It only depends on KDE4, QT4, taglib and sqlite.
I have all these :)

Yeah well it wasn't that hard to figure
out how I'm supposed to compile it tho,
it's always nice to have black on white
exactly what you need to compile is all :)
>#include "sqlite3.h" includes a file that's in the same folder where KMP source code is.
Yeah I noticed, even tryed to remove
it and use the one from the sqlite package
gentoo portage provides :S
but from what I read on the web these
kind of problems with sqlite are kinda
common.
Anyway, thank you for answering and
looking forward to compiling the next
version :)
Have a nice weekend!

Love this player. The mockups are awesome. In response to your feature requests, I can think of 2 that you might consider:-
1. A screensaver module displaying info on the current track. ie: album cover, track title, track position, etc.
2. A remote control module - for selecting tracks to playback from your mobile phone. Could use bluetooth or wifi!

Those features are great but they won't be easy to do... Maybe on version 0.0.8 or 0.0.9 I'll make the screensaver but the other part will take longer to be made. But sooner or later it will have both features working.
