Yarock is a music player not specific to any desktop enviroment, since Fedora now
have support to more multimedia formats it is a nice to new user to have a nice
looking music player included in the default Cinnamon Spin.

Yarock is based in QT, the iso image for Cinnamon in F32 is around 1.4 GB, so
there is space to include more apps by default.

We have been planning to add exaile but it has not been migrated to python 3 yet. https://github.com/exaile/exaile/issues/246

grinnz commented 4 years ago

I would like to consider alternative music players but I would prefer not to bring in the QT5 libs.

grinnz commented 4 years ago

Audacious has also been suggested as an alternative which also brings in QT5 but appears to be widely used and well maintained. I would consider adding this but it looks like the new version 4 uses a QT UI theme by default so would have to make sure it will still look right in Cinnamon.

grinnz commented 4 years ago

Thanks for the suggestion, for now I will add rhythmbox to the kickstart and if a stable version of exaile on python3 or a better GTK player becomes available we will change to that.

By the way, please join #fedora-cinnamon on freenode or the fedora-spins mailing list (https://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/spins.lists.fedoraproject.org/) to discuss suggestions rather than using PRs which is not the best venue for discussion. Thanks
