no, amarok is lousy

rhythmbox is a itune ripoff for gnome, work pretty well. Amarok is a very good audio player for kde that has advanced fonctions not found in itune and it is surely not lousy

amarok can not adjust frequency, worse than winamp

Interesting your parameters to judge things... However you can do that with LADSPA and gstreamer in Amarok. Just so you know... Not stratight off Amarok, but doable nontheless.

you mean an equalizer? amarok has an equalizer.

But that doesn't make an audio player good or bad.

I think he means a "normalizer"

This from the person who believes Windows is always better and easier than Linux. Sorry, but AmaroK is much better than Winamp.

LTunes is the real linux 'iTunes' copy. it's quite nice.

Thetargos · 09-10-2005, 12:55 PM

Isn't LTunes just a modified version of Rhythmbox with the name changed?

dukeinlondon · 09-10-2005, 01:55 PM

quite possibly but it does things that rythmbox doesn't, like rip cds

Thetargos · 09-10-2005, 02:02 PM

That's cosmetic, by using gtreamer backend, any program can do that and adding that functionality to rhythmbox should not be too difficult. But the GNOME Desktop has a tool already for that, SoundJucier, which may be enough reason why Rhythmbox does not rip CDs.,

the guy is asking for an itunes lookalike

Thetargos · 09-10-2005, 02:05 PM

Run ITunes on Wine, then?
