Info

Currently Cactus Jukebox has no active maintainer. Sourcecode and last binaries will still be available from this wiki page. If you want to take over the project and sourcecode or have any questions feel free to email the ancient developer at sebastian_kraft@gmx.de

Cactus Jukebox is an audio player and music organizing tool. It searches given folders for music files and shows them in a database. The main focus is on usability and speed. Cactus Jukebox still runs smoothly with 15GB of music files on an old computer like a P3 @ 500MHz. There's no reason to take a dual core machine just to listen to your music. Another nice feature: You can also syncronize your music collection with a mobile player device(USB).

Features:

  • Fast database
  • Audio CD ripper
  • Webradio support
  • Upload/synchronize to mobile players
  • Plattform independent(GTK, GTK2, win32)
  • Browse your music collection by artist, albums and titles
  • Save and load m3u playlists
  • ID3 tag support
  • Easy tagging of mp3-files

Ideas for next versions:

  • Support flac, wma
  • Audio CD Player
  • Burn CD's
  • Support more plattforms(MacOSX, QT,...)
  • And more... waiting for your suggestions

Downloads

Current Cactus Jukebox release switched over to MPlayer as a playback engine. So take care mplayer is installed on your system before running Cactus Jukebox. Old libfmod is still supported but not recommended.

Linux

32bit - i386

64bit - amd64


OpenSUSE RPM Packages can be found here(thanks Toni!)

http://packman.links2linux.de/package/cactusjukebox


Windows (still experimental)

cactusjukebox-0.4.1stable-win32.zip zipped binary

GTK1.x binaries can still be build from source but there are no more packages yet. All current distributions dropped GTK1.x support. If you still need a GTK1.x version please contact me. If there is enough demand I will create official GTK1.x packages again...

QT4 interface is nearly ready for release... No big showstoppers, just some minor graphic bugs to fix. You may try it out by building from source code.

Development

Currently there is no active development.

Subversion

The current development version sourcecode is available in the lazarus subversion repository(SVN).

In short: very first checkout:

svn co https://lazarus-ccr.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/lazarus-ccr/applications/cactusjukebox cactusjukebox

after that you can always update your local copy doing "svn update"
