Here I will only share the latest version of my SW-AMP audio player.
LastVersion SW-AMP 1.2.0.37 (19 Sep 2024)
OldVersion SW-AMP 1.2.0.36 (16 Sep 2024)
If the player does not start on your Ubuntu 22.04 and 22.10 system, then you need to install a missing library on your system that cannot be added to appimage using the command:
user@host: sudo apt install libfuse2
And all the AppImages you have can run.
At the expense of distributing it in binary form - Appimage does not require root rights to install, so performing with user rights will not harm you, even if an attacker really wants it.

1. Fixed incorrect Chorus/Flanger effect integration.
2. Other serious errors were found and fixed.
3. A little tweaked interface.
16.09.2024
1. Due to the dependence of the interface on the language and operating system, I had to change
the location of the effects menu to the upper one.
2. Replaced the Chorus and Flanger effects with a much better Chorus/Flanger from the BassFX library.
3.I also replaced the old reverberator, also from the BassFX library, with a very high-quality FreeVerb
4. Tweaked the interface for compatibility with other Linux distributions.
6.09.2024
1. A little cosmetics.
2. Error correction.
22.08.2024
1. Added bandwidth control of peak filters.
2. Added the option to collapse the playlist along with the player window.
3. Fixed autoplay errors.
11.08.2024
1. To reduce the size, I removed the effects from the field of view, except for the currently selected one.
1.08.2024
1. A lot of work has been done to identify errors and inconveniences.
2. Added 2 new effects - Peak Equalizer and Stereo Expander.
The peak equalizer has two filters for any frequency in the range of 40-18000 Hz. Can be used in a separate channel - left or right or both at the same time. In my opinion, it is very impressive.
The stereo expander based on the Haas effect is also pleasantly surprising.
21.07.2024
1. Added options to save, reveal, close and delete your playlists.
2. The information to normalize the audio track is stored in ivy, so that the next time you play this audio track, you don't have to scan the file again.
3. The current playlist is displayed in the status bar of the playlist.
4. Removed from the player the function of deleting from the list of tracks that are currently unavailable for some reason (the DVD or flash drive was removed). Instead, the player reports that there is no such file. Otherwise, the playlist was lost in this way.
Note that actions in the current playlist directly affect its content. Therefore, if you do not want to change the saved playlist, it is better to close the player and open it again - then the pre-loaded playlist will be loaded from the default playlist and you can add audio tracks to it or delete it and then save this playlist with a different name.
For the correct operation of the new version of the program, due to the change in the structure of the playlist file, before the first launch, be sure to delete the file located in the swampproperties directory named listprop.xml:
./swampproperties/listprop.xml
When you close the player, the current playlist is saved in this file, and the next time you load the player, this playlist will be loaded, and if you make changes to it, you can also save them in another file.
21.06.2024
1. The path of placing configuration files when using the function to open a file using another program in the system has been corrected.

26.05.2024
1. Added two new effects - "Compressor" and "Speed and pitch".
Speed - smoothly changes the playback speed of the audio track.
Pitch - changes the pitch of the track.
The compressor suppresses signals above the compression threshold, and signals below the compression threshold remain unchanged.
2. A gradual change in the speed of the audio track has also been added in the playlist menu.
3. Blocked elements of inactive effects in the effects window.
22.05.2024
1. Completed the playlist window.
2. For convenience, added a menu item to end the application bypassing the tray.

1. When the playing track is deleted from the playlist or when the playlist is cleared, the playback stops.
2. If, for some reason, one or more files have disappeared from your media or the path to them has changed since the previous start of the player, all missing files are deleted from the playlist.
3. Bit index of audio file quantization has been added.
4. The CPU load information has been changed, which now more adequately reflects the various components of this load.
Now you can even see a reduction in the load when the equalizer is disabled, when the output quantization frequency is changed, etc.
10.03.2024
Added loading of the player from the terminal with an indication of the music file to be opened and the ability to launch the player by clicking on the audio file.
