    Music Applet Disappeared in Ubuntu 10.10

    Just upgraded from Lucid and I noticed during the upgrade that it said it was removing "music applet" as one of the "unneeded" programs. Is there any way to get it back? It is not listed as an option in "add to panel."

    You can download it and compile itself. But I haven't try this yet. I miss this applet too... Have someone tried it?

    I have found this on http://azitech.wordpress.com/2010/07...-ubuntu-10-10/:
    The music-applet was removed from Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat, as well as from Debian unstable. The reason is that it was superseded by panflute, which is still only in a PPA and hasn’t been built for Maverick yet. Maybe they rushed this removal a bit too much?

    So I guess you guys are having the same issue? Not having "music applet" really makes Rhythmbox a PITA to use.

    That's a problem for me too.

    Don't forget, though, the volume applet now has Rythmbox controls. (Still requires that extra click on the volume applet to display the controls).

    The new volume control is hardly a suitable replacement. It's harder to get to, doesn't let you rate songs playing, and is just not the same thing.

    Removing software when there's no replacement available. Premature? You think?

    Code:
    sudo apt-get install panflute-applet

    thanks for the panflute tip!
    Was trying to compile music-applet myself, but when using Amarok under Gnome, it is not a nice thing to try....
    Too many KDE libs necessary.

    Cheers!
