Jamendo
Guayadeque supports browsing through Jamendo extense music collection. You can also download free of charge any album via torrents or direct download. To do so just right-click on any album and choose direct download or torrent.
To set up Jamendo in Guayadeque open the Preferences window and choose Jamendo. There you can choose what genres you want to have access to. You can also choose whether you prefer to download ogg or mp3 files. By default Guayadeque uses Transmission as its torrent cliente. If you prefer to use Deluge (or Ktorrent if you are a KDE user) go to the External Resources page to see what you need to do. Once you've done this close the Preferences window and open Jamendo tab. If you don't have a Jamendo tab yet you can open it from the View menu and choose what windows you want to show (labes, genres, artists, etc), just like the Library tab. Guayadeque will automatically update the database and soon you'll be able to download any album you want.
Note on performance: depending on how many genres you choose on the Preferences window you may have created a new database of many thousands of tracks. In fact on last check you could access nearly 250,000 tracks from nearly 21,000 artists when you chose all the available genres. This may increase Guayadeque memory consumption noticeably. If you don't use Jamendo regularly (or at all) I recommend that you close the Jamendo tab and empty your ~/.guayadeque/Jamendo folder.
Note on Album Covers: Guayadeque will only show/download album art when you actually play an album. Otherwise it will show nothing.
