Nightingale released....its a prelease but its still better than others!



All I can say is that I am over the moon about this. Finally, after waiting what seems like a very long time, Nightingale Music player for Linux is released (they've also done a Windows version with source code for mac also available). Although I have to say that I had been testing it before with a build it yourself download from git.

For my Fedora machine I had to download the general linux 32bit download but there is .DEB file that is available. A long with a number of add-ons which make Nightingale all the better including last.fm scrobbing.

The downloads are available from http://getnightingale.com/all-versions.php , just choose the one you need for your machine need to download!!

Before installing check with the nightingale website concerning anything extra that you

1/. Unpack the file into a directory, I chose /home/nightingale which is my personnal preference.

2/. Click on nightingale and it should run.

3/. To create a link from the application launcher, right click - add applications - new item - type nightingale in the name section and in command type home/your user name/nightingale/nightingale/nightingale or just click on the nightingale file.

You can also add the icon if you wish.

4/. save then close. Your can now launch from the application menu.

It should now work. The only problem I have is that I have been unable to add flash and Java for some web pages.
