    In short. Any audio I put in IDJC won't play. just nothing. The scroll bar doesn't even move.

    I've been running IDJC for over 7 years now. I had the same setup and config for more than 3 years without updating or touching anything. So I had this 3 y/o version of IDJC running on an old version of Xubuntu. I wanted to refresh my setup so I swiped everything to do a clean install of everything. Bad idea.... I'm a total ignorant when it comes to Linux core stuff. Sorry about that. Is that something someone here can relate or help me fix in an easy fashion?

    Probably an old bug probably best fixed by downgrading to an older version of mutagen. I think version 1.10.1 would be the correct one.

    https://github.com/quodlibet/mutagen/tree/release-1.10.1

    You can confirm it if you examine console output from trying to play some audio. This bug I am thinking of is mp3 file specific. The console output would look like this:

    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "/usr/lib/idjc/site-packages/idjc/playergui.py", line 2780, in cb_toggle
        self.handle_play_button(widget, widget.get_active())
      File "/usr/lib/idjc/site-packages/idjc/playergui.py", line 1605, in handle_play_button
        if self.player_startup():
      File "/usr/lib/idjc/site-packages/idjc/playergui.py", line 1711, in player_startup
        self.gain = float(sgain)
    ValueError: could not convert string to float: None
