Best Audio Player in Linux?

[MateoGWJ]

I use rhythmbox currently, but the truth is. All music players for linux are lacking. In fact most music players for every platform are lacking. The best media player I have ever used was winamp. And xmms is not an entire clone. I want a media player tha ports over the winamp library. That is the best program ever. So if anyone happens to have the source code for the winamp library(like say a certain ex-nullsoft president :whistle: ).....

Winamp runs on Crossover. Not perfectly, but almost.

Wow, AmaroK looks amazing!!  :woot:

Too bad I'm using Ununtu now.... :cry:

Run synaptic, and make sure you have all the Universal repositories added. I think amarok is up there, but you should add KDE base or KDE Core to make sure you have everything you need it to run.

Actually, you can install all of KDE, and even boot into it, but somehow, that just seems kinda wrong. :laugh:

I'm absolutely in love with Beep Media Player (Gtk2)

XMMS. BMP is also nice, but sound quality is still somehow sh*tier than XMMS.

[LiquidGUI]

XMMS all the way.

Great app, like the Winamp of Linux.

xmms if any, dont usually use linux for that kinda junk :/

Rhythmbox!

[easternBrain]

amarok, u'll like it, if u've been using Windows Media Players

[g-n-t]

youll like amarok no matter what you used in the past. it is simply in a league of its own. and the latest CVS ive tried is very stable and has EVEN MORE features, believe it or not.

[Hardi]

isn't amarok only for KDE ?

[Fragmaster]

No, it is designed around the QT interface, used primarily for KDE applications, but will work in GNOME.

[Hardi]

hmm.. tried to istall it on my Ubuntu/gnome

configure: error: The important program kde-config was not found!
Please check whether you installed KDE correctly.

huh ?

I'm running Amarok over here, so far it please me very well.

[caster316]

P.S. There is a WinAMP port for Linux

Winamp

amarok 1.2 final out...

[Evolution]

Currently I'm sticking with JuK....for some reason Amarok seems a little too bloated, not with features, just in the interface :/

in KDE 3.4(still not implemented in beta 2) juk will get support for some of amaroK's cool features like audioscrobbler.

Foobar2000 works just fine in wine: http://motoreffect.ath.cx/~rezza/images/shots/5.big.png

[g-n-t]

but people use foobar because of performance, so running it in wine kinda defeats the purpose.

Why? It's not noticably slower through wine, nor does it take noticably more memory or cpu cycles than it does on windows.
