      IDv3 tag lyrics support!

      Now we’re talking sense!

      On the surface, this looks like the ultimate player! I have returned to it many times.

      Hey, this isn’t working at all for me on my Ubuntu 16.04 32 bit, it tells me I have 5 missing dependencies.. but I go through them all and I have most of the alternative ones, so… Not sure what’s up with that

      • Ji m June 5, 2016 at 4:58 pm

        Use Gdebi package manager, or run command in terminal to fix dependency issue:

        sudo apt -f install

      Doesn’t work with 16.04.

      Clementine package is outdated, throws errors on .pls URL, of “Missing a package” etc, Audacious works fine. Please check before blogging.

      Doesn’t Work. I’m on Xubuntu 16.04 and it spits out “error while loading shared libraries: libGLEW.so.1.10” or for any dependency pretty much.

      clementine : Depends: libqt4-sql-sqlite but it is not going to be installed”
      And i cannot install clementine

      Ubuntu 16.04.1 32 bit, just now upgraded from 14.04

      Added Clementine from PPA as instructed here and it worked immediately.

      (Also, Clementine was in the list of “unsupported packages” – or something similar – that I got just before performing the upgrade from 14.04)
