Hi,
kew 3.7 has been released. https://github.com/ravachol/kew
kew is a fully private music player for local music files written in c. it features cover images, library navigation, gapless playback, mpris integration and more. Please check it out!
The developer refused to add lyrics support, supporting their point with a response from ChatGPT.
Maybe. Maybe not.
Chatgpt:
"He brings up some points that tap into how legal responsibility is often framed in terms of “user-provided content” in various platforms and tools. Let’s break down the key legal and technical considerations involved in displaying user-supplied lyrics files in a music player app like Kew:
#188. Diabolical. The feature was added later anyway, but still.
Well, I hope you don’t mean I was being diabolical as I am just trying to stay out of trouble.
Lyric support was added as soon as the legal picture cleared.
Using chatgpt as a reference
Yes not optimal, but I couldn’t find a clear answer by other means.
It’s actually funny how hardcore chatgpt was advising me not to do it. Page after page of arguments.
Show it playing “Still Alive” on the GitHub previews!
Looks better than music123
Nice, I’ve always used cmus but I may have to check this out.
How this compare to Winamp?
Well it certainly doesn’t whip the llamas ass. So, what other creature does this abuse?
It’s hard to compare. I really like Winamp and it is one of the players that I respect. kew differs in that it has a library explorer, more importance given to the album cover and a bigger spectrum visualizer. We are still working on visualizations though and were supposed to have cool visualizations this version, but hopefully the next will have them.
