Best Audio Player in Linux?


Recommended Posts

Hey Linux dwelling Neowinians. I just wanted to know what is the best audio player out there for Linux. I'm currently running Rhythm Box but I am not TOO happy with it =/

I wish there was iTunes for Linux ; ;

I use mplayer/gmplayer and am happy with it.

Basic music/video player, and skinnable, I think (though I use it more from the command prompt than the GUI, to be honest).

XMMS is the classic audio player for linux. Though if I wanted to use a console based player, I'd use Mp3Blaster. I've been using Rhythmbox lately because I find it easier to change between music with it (streams too).

I use XMMS because:

a) I'm familiar with Winamp

b) It plays music, and that's it (by default)

c) I have all my music in 1 playlist, and just random play. Nothing special.

It provides me with everything I need.

mplayer (and all of its derivatives) can handle .wma files just fine. In fact, I think its possible to compile mplayer with xmms support, and then in xmms settings somewhere tell it to use mplayer for filetypes it can't handle on its own, and then xmms can play .wma files. I might be totally wrong, though, because I use mpd/ncmpc for my music needs.

Great answer. Did you not notice the forum this thread is in or are you being purposefully obtuse?

I'm just curious but what is the bitrate on those files? I have 5212 files and it's 25.5 GB.

I have 2 Main folders, Albums & Misc

All of my albums are ripped at 320KBPS

Misc is just random songs I like, but don't have the albums to. They're in 320 if I can find them, otherwise whatever I get.
