Hey, the dev of this project here,

Thanks a lot for the feedback! I didn't knew that VLC has advanced so much in such functionality like loudness normalization and dynamic range compression. How does it analyze the loudness? Does it also use the ReplayGain spec? What about album-loudness?

It sounds like besides gapless playback and a database, VLC already has everything what a music player needs to have - or what you need that VLC becomes great to play music.

Or is anything missing on the list?

For me, the intelligent automatic queue is, besides the audio quality, a very important element (because it is the way I listen to my music).



Wow, I'll have to check your music-player out. Ever since I left windows, I haven't found any music player that quite does things how I want like winamp did.


Sorry for derailing the discussion, but what do you think of foobar3000? Ideally, VLC guys would answer to this question too. :)


I assume you mean foobar2000?

Foobar2000 is proprietary and Windows-only (thus I cannot even try it).


Wow, how is it even monetized? And if not, why bother with proprietary?


No nice visualizations, as my son discoverd . :-(
