Question Media Jukbox For Linux


Im looking for a media jukbox for my mp3 collection (also have some wma's / oggs in there),
i have around 70GB of music, so xmms etc... are out of the question (and dont talk to me about playlist searching plugins!)

i have tried juk & rhytmbox: neither of them can use wma's / add them to the library.

i've tried madman music jukbox: it was buggy and regurally crashed

and quite a few others.


can anybody help me by sujesting either sujesting or making a good music jukbox app?

keep these things in mind:

perhaps kind of like windows media player 10 for windowsxp (yuk) except not so bloaty?

please can it not look all discusting tcl/tk ish etc...?

and can it please support wma's (not that i like them, i just have a lot of them).

im running debian, so it would be best in deb or src.

thanks

-Sam McLeod.

You want someone to program a music program for you? Just like that? Things like that take a lot of time and effort. Many people dont put effort into things they arnt rewarded for.

What media types does amaroK support?
None. Yes, that's right! None! We have a backend independent approach, so the question you should be asking is "What media types does GStreamer/xine/aRts/NMM/MAS/KDEmm support?" So as you can guess we pretty much support absolutely every audio format you can think of. GStreamer can even decode text and PNG!

im not saying program one for me!, im simply asking if anyone knows if one.

if there is anyone that would be able to program one, it would not be for me,
i mean like the proper one, linux really really needs a decent jukbox, it would be a great gift to the linux comunity.
