First, I have just released a new Listen version (0.6.1) that fixes the two major issues of the previous one. To download it, go here or here

A new version of gmixer (1.3) fixes an issue, when popup-slider is updated and that no existing statusbar is available.

For an easier maintenance and a better usability  I have decided to migrate Listen and gmixer in a launchpad/bazaar project.

I have already moved Listen svn repo in multiple bazaar branches on launchpad, you can now access the trunk source code with “bzr branch lp:listen”

Other branches of listen source code are available here.

The listen launchpad project url is simply: http://launchpad.net/listen

If you are using (x)ubuntu, you will soon be able to use a ppa.

Final release of listen 0.6 is out

After much work I have finally release a new version of Listen.

The most important changes are:
- The playback backend that allows crossfade and gapless listening.
- The plugin system to easily add new features to Listen.

Some features requested by users were written as plugins.
You can see a quick list of the novelties of this version on the features page

You can download this version here
