- adrian_b 5y agoFor Linux there are various command-line players, e.g. mpg123, with this option and with any other imaginable options.
- shikoba 5y agoI want a full working application with the equivalent of global hotkeys. I use deadbeef on GNU/Linux, but I still haven't find a way to force mono.
- tombert 5y agoOut of curiosity, why do you want mono? Just a preference?
- shikoba 5y agoYes. And especially when listening with headphone, some artists find it fun to have a moving song from one side to the other, in that case I turn my head thinking that there is something near me, absolutely annoying. With mono the sound is always located in the middle of my brain.
- xxpor 5y agoAh, so you essentially take the existing stereo mix -> force it to mono -> play the new mono feed in both ears? That's an interesting idea... I feel like this should be relatively easy to replicate with VAC (https://vb-audio.com/Cable/ https://vb-audio.com/Cable/) and Audacity, if the player doesn't support it natively.
- shikoba 5y agoWhy would I need to do that? Winamp does it perfectly.
- inykt 5y agoBeatles is the reason.
- noxvilleza 5y agoIn foobar2000 it's kinda easy, Preferences -> Playback -> DSP Manager -> Downmix channels to mono [+]. (picture: https://i.imgur.com/FDhxh3j.png https://i.imgur.com/FDhxh3j.png)
- shikoba 5y agoThank you for the intel. I'm testing it right now. It looks like it has everything I need, global hotkeys, sane way of sorting playlist and mono. And... Wait a minute... There is a mobile version... Is the end of the nightmare right here? edit: You made my day. Thank you very much.
