I'm just nit-picking, and while I don't use them (for the following reasons) I'd like to find some sort of suggestion as to why they act this way.

Rhythmbox simply freezes if I try to import anything more than 1GB of music - my current library is up around 160GB, and when I try to import it, Rhythmbox just freezes, and eventually, gets marked as a non-functioning app. and is terminated.

Audacious does the same thing as Rhythmbox.

And Banshee really screws up the alphabetical order of the songs. Since when does Sonic Youth come before the Smashing Pumpkins? And if anyone asks, yes, I have checked the IDv2/IDv3 tags.

Amarok is the music player I'm using right now, and it's amazing. The only reason I'm raising a fuss about this is because I much prefer using GNOME to KDE, but am being diverted due to the lack of a decent music player.

ADDITIONAL NOTE: I've tried using XMMS, but it does not seem to support unicode characters in the IDv tags. Example: with Björk, it leaves off the "ö" - so I end up getting "Bjrk - Arabadrengurinn", which is kind of annoying.

Have you tried Exaile and Listen?

#yum install exaile

160GB of music , just wondering where you got.....

Torrents my friend...torrents.
But, I have been working on this collection for about 2 years now.

And thank you, I will definitely try out Exaile, and Listen.

Exaile seems to be working magic.
Time to migrate - KDE -> Gnome.


EDIT: Ugh, it's taking forever and a day to import my music - Amarok can have it done in less than 5 minutes...I've been waiting for 10.

Glad you liked it, its like I say, Amarok for Gnome.

Edit: Oops, not sure why its doing so.

S'all good.
It's getting late, though. I'm going to turn in for the night, and migrate tomorrow.

Well, Exaile's out the window...it says it's playing the songs, but I'm not hearing anything. And like any other GTK+ media player, it's not correctly organizing the songs - alphabetically.
