Free plays software for linux

GNU Go is a free program that plays the game of Go. GNU Go has played thousands of games on the NNGS Go server.

GNU Go is now also playing regularly on the Legend Go Server in Taiwan, on the WING server in Japan, and many volunteers run GNU Go clients on KGS. GNU Go has established itself as the leading non-commercial go program in the recent tournaments that it has taken part in.

Blobtrix is a modern Tetris-like game for two players to play over the Internet. One player plays upwards and the other downwards.
You can select blocks from the block list and move them to the correct location - and launch - even before all the older blocks have collided.
Blobtrix was made for the block game development competition organized by Suomipelit.com and Ohjelmointiputka in early 2004.
Enhancements:
- The game plays a sound when someone joins the server you are in.
- A chat message is sent by pressing enter, not the chatkey.
- Portability has been made better by defining file paths in a separate source file.

Random Music plays random MP3 tracks from your music collection. It maintains a flat database of tracks, detailed genres, and weights, and generates a weighted random playlist from the user-selected genres.
The ID3 and ID3v2 fields (title/artist/album), detailed genre, and weight (0-9) for the currently-playing track can be edited, and tracks can be removed from the playlist.
For example, a user can select only tracks with a minimum weight of 5 from the subgenres "Pop - 1970s" and "R&B - 1970s", and the playlist will adjust accordingly.
Enhancements:
- This release adds features to the playlist editor.
- Playlist entries now include the album name, and selected tracks can be moved up or down.

BoomBasster is a music player that runs under DirectFB.

BoomBasster plays any type of music file that is supported by FusionSound.

The user interface uses alpha blending and works well with touchscreens.

BoomBasster is supposed to be used with the mouse.

tunequeue is a web based internet radio station control software; both a dynamic listener interface and an administrative interface.
tunequeue includes features like: multiple channels, user requests and ratings of songs, several types of queuing and show scheduling.
How it works:
Essentially, tunequeue just tells Ices what to play (Ices is nice enough to ask after each song when used in playlist mode). tunequeue decides what to play based on a number of criteria, including user input via a web interface. There are a number of scheduling methods which can be used to determine which song to play next, including random, sequential, least played, newest, highest rated, etc. tunequeue also allows you to schedule different playlists and method combinations to be used at different time periods, effectively creating "shows" at different times.
What can I do with it?
For example, my channel on Spogbiper plays current indie music from my collection. From 8AM to 5PM, it usually plays a random mix of songs that I like to hear while working, picking the next song from a set of the songs that havent been heard for the longest amount of time. However, from 11:30AM to 12:30PM, it plays early 90s alternative songs that I enjoyed ten years ago. From 5PM to 7PM it plays a select subset of the normal mix, all songs that are faster and more upbeat (got to start the party, work is done :). At 8PM it plays the highest rated songs according to users voting on the website until 9PM, and then it plays randomly from the newest additions to the library for an hour. Finally, at 1AM it switches to the sleepy time playlist, a mix of slow songs from the main playlist and an additional set of songs only played during the night.
In addition to the automatic scheduling, I allow users to request any song from the library at any time. Users can see the next few upcoming songs and cancel them or move them forward in the queue. Occasionally I will define a set playlist I like in Winamp and have the channel play through it sequentially. (tool to import winamp playlists is still very alpha but coming in next release).
In contast to my largely random style, a religious station currently testing tunequeue plays a set sequential playlist from start to finish each day, the order being defined in advance by church members. Thanks to the work of Jacint Balint, tunequeue has a nice web interface where they are able to easily create schedules for each day. Also added by Jacint is the ability to log the date and time that each song plays for use in reporting to licensing agencies.
Technical details:
Tunequeue is written in perl. It is designed to use the excellent Icecast streaming server and Ices to stream the audio to listeners, but it should be trivial to use tunequeue to control other streaming systems. The song library and channel configuration is stored in a SQL database, currently we have only tested with MySQL.
Enhancements:
- Major rewrite of the user interface cgi.
- The new design is extremely flexible to allow you to quickly create any kind of web based interface to your radio feed.
- No HTML generation is done in the cgis, all html can be created any way you like and tunequeue will insert live data anywhere you specify youd like it.
- Several templates are included as examples of different layouts.
- Also added many minor improvements to logging, settings, and some bug fixes to go along with all the new bugs.

TiMidity++ is a software synthesizer. It can play MIDI files by converting them into PCM waveform data; give it a MIDI data along with digital instrument data files, then it synthesizes them in real-time, and plays.
Timidity++ can not only play sounds, but also can save the generated waveforms into hard disks as various audio file formats.
Main features:
- Plays MIDI files without any external MIDI instruments at all
- Understands SMF, MOD, RCP/R36/G18/G36, MFI
- Converts MIDI files into various audio file formats: .wav, .au, .aiff, .ogg and so on
- Uses Gravis Ultrasound compatible patch files and/or SoundFonts as the voice data
- Displays information about the music that is now playing
- Various user interfaces: ncurses, gtk, Win32-GUI, and others
- Plays remote MIDI files over the network
- Plays MIDI files in archive files
- Displays sound spectrogram for the playing music
- Trace playing
Enhancements:
- This is a bug fix release that fixes the compile error on Win32 platform.
- All other platforms arent affected to this, so you dont have to update unless you are compiling TiMidity++ on Windows.

Oolaboola is an opensource system for mixing sound files in real-time, while varying their rate of play, amplitude level, etc. In other words, Oolaboola is a digital DJ tool.
Main features:
- Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License
- The cross-fader never wears out! :)
- Plays .wav files of various formats.
- Can use MIDI input
- Digital file output.
- Set and goto marks.
- Create loops
- Can record your actions for later playback
- Efficient (mixing two files takes about a Pentium 50 :)
- Low latency (time between your action and the change in output)..down to 1/100th second depending on the limits of your OS/hardware.
- Separate output to `cue channel
- Control rate-of-play..from 0 to 2 X in increments of .001
- Modify its behavior with a python rc file
Enhancements:
- fixes a few bugs, mostly build and linkage problems many people were having.
