View Poll Results: Audio Media Player Application of the Year
Audacious.
I don't use the media library applications - for two reasons:
1) I get a lot of sound files in for a short time and then erase them again. Makes no sense to waste resources updating the library constantly.
2) A lot of people - with podcasts and audiobooks (especially from the otherwise excellent PodioBooks.com) do the file tagging extremely poorly, and the media library shows these files with unknown authors and authors with variations in the spelling and naming.
I voted exaile since I'm using it, but I've also used and liked mpd/sonata in the past. I guess I only changed because I distro hop a lot and mpd is sometimes a pain to set up.
Used Amarok for awhile, still can't find a decent EQ for it without jumping through a bunch of hoops a la LADSPA, JACK, etc.
Ergo, back to XMMS...I hear they actually updated it a year or so ago.
