aTunes wont play music

Hi people !

I have used Songbird as my music player for some time, but since developers decided to bail on us, I decided to find an alternative. It has to be cross-platform, so I picked aTunes which is written in Java.

But it wont play music

. This is what I get when I start it from terminal:

Those lines I bolded are ones that show up when I try to play a song in GUI of the player.

Rytmbox plays those songs ok, so I think it is not due to codecs.

Other info: Box on which I am trying aTunes is running Ubuntu 10.4 beta, x86_64 (AMD64), Java runtime is OpenJDK... I do not know what more could be of relevance... but here is uname , that never hurts:

$ uname -s -r -v -m -o
Linux 2.6.32-17-generic #26-Ubuntu SMP Sat Mar 20 02:23:45 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux

If someone know how to play tunes with aTunes, please tell

You need to be running Java 6. What is the output of "java --version" (minus the quotes)?

gnufreex · 04-05-2010, 07:12 AM

Here is it, it is (1.)6:

Quote:

$ java -version
java version "1.6.0_18"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.8) (6b18~pre4-1ubuntu1)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 16.0-b13, mixed mode)

Do you have a 64 bt install of Ubuntu or the 32 bit version?

Never mind - I just reread the OP

Faced with the same situation, I am trying to move to atunes as well on my two Ubuntu machines, and encountered a similar problem on both. The program runs, but won't play any music in my collection. One is running Ubuntu 10.04 64bit, and the other is running Ubuntu 8.04 32bit. I am running Java 1.6 on both platforms, and have both mplayer and xine installed. Both backends work, and have been tested independently.

I downloaded the atunes 2.0 Release Candidate from March 13, 2010. In both cases, when I attempt to play a file, I get two empty error boxes in succession - with nothing written in them. I tried both ogg and flac files. I note that Jajuk using mplayer works fine.

From the box running Ubuntu 8.04 32bit (using mplayer as the backend):
INFO [PLAYER ] Started play of file 01 - Take the 'A' Train.flac
ERROR [PLAYER ] --> PlayerEngine.handlePlayerEngineError [4] Player Error: java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException

ERROR [PLAYER ] --> PlayerEngine.handlePlayerEngineError [5] net.sourceforge.atunes.kernel.modules.tray.SystemTrayHandler.setTrayToolTip(SystemTrayHandler.java:2 58)

I would prefer atunes, but at this point I guess I will stick with Jajuk, since it appears to work. I bet there are a lot of Linux users out there looking for a replacement for Songbird this week!
