Audacious rocks

Easy one, Amarok, the best music player and manager currently available on any operating system.

Matz · 01-04-2008, 11:02 AM

Amarok all the way. "available on any operating system."? Is that true?
I thought that Amarok for windows is on the way but not yet released.

Still using xmms. The sound quality beats all others.
Second choice mpd/ncmpc and thirdly audacious.
Can't stand amarok.

sundancekid · 01-04-2008, 01:15 PM

Amarok gets my vote.

Tied between Exaile and Audacious.

I'm pretty sure JLP meant that Amarok is best compared to all other music players and managers

Personally I just upgraded to the newest version of Gnome, and have to say that Rhythmbox 0.11.3 is quite amazing, with built in visualisation (that can work on the root window), automatic cover art and lyrics downloads, etal. The only thing I don't like about is the way the "stop" concept seems to be missing - I fail to see how this makes it easier to understand (which I presume to be the reason for its absence).

Amarok always loses my playlists, but it's quite nice.

However, my vote goes to Rhythmbox - it's clean and wonderfully simple.

amaroK -- the EMACS of media players!

angryfirelord · 01-06-2008, 10:40 PM

Definitely amaroK for this one, although if I desire something more lightweight, I'll use Audacious.

Tinkster · 01-07-2008, 01:24 PM

Good ol' proven and small xmms :}

Amarok does anything I ever need to do to any of my multimedia.

If I ever need something smaller, I use Xine-UI (same backend).

Mega Man X · 01-07-2008, 07:16 PM

amaroK gets my vote this year. Rhythmbox is not bad though.
