Hi I have been using Karma on my windows system but would like to convert to Linux I have used Pykaraoke and its ok I was just wondering if there is any software comparable to Karma that will run on Linux ???



Thanks

Why & no there is not?

I really hate windows ran many versions of Linux when I worked for IBM. Really like it

There isn't anything comparable to even a basic player. Biggest lack is key changes. I have a script which uses SOX to change the key then plays the changed MP3 (caching it for later). It works for me -- I just put in a shell window:
and it shows the songs:
I press the number, and it plays via pykaraoke. It wouldn't be hard to make some sort of history thing. In fact, maybe I'll work on this over the holidays. I've been wanting to play around with a new Perl GUI toolkit I have seen.

Micky, Isn't that a little bit like reinventing the wheel and for what gain?

Having a player on Linux for those of us who don't like Windows.

It's only for myself, I wouldn't be selling it. There's no money in that.

Would Karma work on Linux if you ran it through Wine?

I guess I just like the security of Linux and the fact that its a true multitasking OS unlike windows. Pykaraoke works well enough I just thought I would ask the karaoke experts

I would be extremely surprised if it did.

No it will not work through wine I may have to create a windows virtual box under Ubuntu and run karma that way. Thanks for suggestions

I do run Siglos Pro that way. The problem is getting extended display support going.

What about it makes it a problem?

Not being defensive - I am considering formatting an older laptop and replacing windows with Linux so I'm genuinely curious (not a comp sci person).

Karma uses microsoft net framework and wine seems to choke trying to install it. I am researching other options I will post any favorable findings in case someone wants to try it as well

unfortunately these programs won't even run under WINE.
wish i knew Python better to re-write Pykaraoke.
