Dopamine is an audio player which tries to make organizing and listening to music as simple and pretty as possible. This version is written using Electron, Angular and Typescript. The original Dopamine (for Windows), which is written in WPF and C#, remains available here.
I failed to get Dopamine 3 preview 4 starting on my Linux Mint Cinnamon, tried it with both .AppImage and .deb file. In both cases there only is a launch icon on my taskbar and a white empty window.
Researching about AppImage showed me that there is a general problem to get AppImages work on Gnome platforms.
I would like to suggest that you add a workflow through the Actions tab so new releases of Dopamine can automatically be built and published, that would make testing the software a lot easier for those that are interested in doing so but don't know/want to build from source themselves.
version 3 preview 7. Does not load any music from an external drive.
[2021-09-20 14:49:05.960] [error] [IndexablePathFetcher] [getIndexablePathsForSingleFolderAsync] Error occurred while getting files recursively. Error EPERM: operation not permitted, lstat 'M:\System Volume Information'
This is really getting annoying, each time i run a pacman command (any command) i get these 2 errors
error: local database is inconsistent: name mismatch on package Dopamine-3.0.0
error: local database is inconsistent: version mismatch on package Dopamine-3.0.0
currently have Dopamine-3.0.0 preview.18-1 installed is there a way to suppress/mute/fix?
Refer image attached with the issue.
I really like the in app notification system when the song changes , A possible fix for this could be to show the notification each time the system volume is changed or when we press the volume button.
Else if the Devs would be able to fix the part where it only shows dopamine.exe in the media key handling system notification. It would be flawless.
The compilation fails with the following error message:

It should compile with no problem
Curious if there's any plan on implementing ReplayGain (RG), I see that #198 was made asking for the same, but it has been 2 years and it appears to have no response so far. As mentioned in the same issue MusicBee has RG implemented as well so the possibility should be there.
the Hebrew text looks bad and small (see: https://pasteboard.co/MOOlIhWbNElI.png ) it's probably because of the new font, and a special font for Hebrew text could be added. you can contact me if help picking a font is needed. Thanks in advance
update Chinese translation
Everytime I start playing different songs in a short time (manually), Dopamine needs more time to start playing them. A simple restart of the program fixes the issue until I played a few songs again. Then, it needs several seconds to play a new title again
Some audio books are being randomly split in two. For example, Harry Potter book 1, 7 tracks have been put into one album and the remaining (over 400) tracks in another. I've been unable to find any difference in the tags on the seven tracks, and Dopamine v2 didn't do this.
There's quite a bit that'd be better off done in a chatroom like IRC, Discord, Github's Discussions, etc. Alternatively, a mailing list might work, but this is small enough to where it's probably not worth it. Any ideas with this?
Ideally, we'd use it for:
Off-topic here, but sorry for sort of co-opting the issues 😅 This is one of the few projects I can safely read on and contribute in non-code manners.
