No. Gnome OS is closed-source.

Because why wouldn't you make a reference implementation now that the infrastructure (systemd, flatpak) is in place.

This is literally useless. Why are incompetent retards trying to reinvent the wheel and end up making a worse Audacious? Music players are a solved issue, there's no need for more of them.

Not to mention the whole "closing the window doesn't kill the app" thing. Isn't that a problem in GNOME since they're against the system tray (where this music player would go when the window closes) and they're against minimizing/closing windows? It looks like GNOME devs and designers have no idea what they want.

sandboxing doesnt allow for playlists since they can point to files a sandbox cant access. Flatpak portal devs are bikeshedding it atm
>>can't play mp4 or webm
you guys are retarded
>>closing the window minimizes the app instead of quitting it, songs continue to play
turn "background play" off? it literally has a checkbox in the menu are you blind
>t. maintains another music player
>>
>>110121024
Yes, some songs and soundtracks I have are in a webm format. That's what's sometimes downloaded by ytdl or whatever backend is used by my YouTube apps. Same with mp4. I'm not autistic enough to convert everything to mp3 or whatever freetard format is the current standard. Webm and mp4 work in any music player I've ever used with no issue whatsoever.

>>110121594
>sandboxing doesnt allow for playlists
What are you even talking about? Why would "sandboxing" be an issue when trying to manage the order in which songs are being played in the currently running playlist? It works fine in Audacious which is also installed as a Flatpak on my system.
I'm not talking about a "playlist" as a file which points to individual tracks. I'm talking about the list of currently playing songs, that is clearly marked as "Playlist" by this GNOME app, which does not (for whatever reason) allow me to drag songs around to control the playback order. I can't open 10 songs and manually choose in which order they play, it's randomly decided by the app itself. This is the basic behavior I'd expect in any music player. Even vibecoded Android apps have this feature.
>it literally has a checkbox in the menu
Well it's a shit default then. Of course I haven't explored the settings of a music player that DOESN'T EVEN PLAY half the media formats and can't even control the order of track playback.

Things like background music go in the notification/calendar menu if you "close" the program. You can toggle this on and off for any program that does it, it's usually the first or second option in the menu. You can also see a list of running background apps in the top right menu where all of the things like volume control is kept. The only real gap with GNOME is if a program expects system tray icons like Steam. That needs an extension to interact with the menu or it kind of gets lost in limbo land. GNOME also doesn't let you control volume per app without an extension.
Anyway you could always just install Audacious. It's what I use. When I was on KDE I installed Strawberry. Who the fuck uses any of these default apps anyways?
>>

>Who the fuck uses any of these default apps anyways?
This. Some are good, others are useless. The benefit of GNOME is good defaults/workflow/theme without having to do any configuration. Yes you might need some extensions, but this is still preferable to dealing with the clusterfuck that is KDE.

>>110113740
>swapping/enabling new options on default workflows because muh UX
yeah, gnome lost the plot a long time ago

What is this? I never heard that.

I don't like GNOME kek, I definitely won't use this.

If I want to use GNOME, I just switch to Ubuntu.
>>
>>110114681
As a GNOME user (just 1 days) I can agree this.
