What do you use to play your Tunez?

rab · 2006-11-19 14:51:12

mpd + keybindings for mpc

elasticdog · 2006-11-19 21:42:24

mpd + sonata + ncmpc

XMMS, due to my previous acquantince with Winamp. Handles all my mp3's, can load up my music folder (3000ish files) within a few seconds without crashing (looking at you, Winamp) and has an unobtrusive presence on my desktop. Also handles command-line play/pause/stop/next/previous arguments which means that it can be integrated with IceWM's keyboard shortcuts configuration.

Amarok here too.

Amarok ever! (if only I could use it on win too :-( )

I beleive that there's going to be a Windows client around the time that KOffice hits Windows.

Sonata with mpd

jellywerker · 2006-11-21 05:12:19

I feel behind the times. I started using xmms on rh9 when I started using linux, and now I still use it on arch.

well, i used that for a long time as well. at a certain point, tough, i grew weary of it's (lack off...) playlist handling. if you have a lot of music, you don't want to have it all in one playlist on random. so you can create several playlists, and switch now and then - but this takes more mouseclicks than it should take.
and most important, i wanted a way to quickly create a temporary playlist. so Juk came in view (very easy to learn app, reall cool), and after a few months Juk, i got Amarok in sight. took me some time to get used to (usability wasn't an important topic in the pre-1.0 releases) but things got better, and it's not only powerfull, but also rather easy to use now.

and the slogan 'rediscover your music' really makes sense with amarok...

Deranger · 2006-11-21 10:34:03

MPD + Sonata.

Kenetixx · 2006-11-21 13:46:42

Giving Amarok a spin atm myslef , seems to handle a big collection with ease

Harold P · 2006-11-24 22:34:21

MPD + Sonata on this computer, Amarok on the other.

z3ppelin · 2006-11-24 22:59:13

I came back to ol' mpd + ncmpc duet

Kenetixx · 2006-11-25 00:07:56

quodlibet trying it now
seems like a good choice to me

GiGaHuRtZ · 2006-11-25 06:48:44

Songbird at the moment, sometimes XMMS or mpd+some_random_frontend.

YscO · 2006-11-25 17:22:44

Rhythmbox 8)

slackhack · 2006-11-25 20:13:17

i just installed amarok to see what all the fuss was about, loaded a couple of directories, about fifty or a hundred songs, and as i was clicking on that little graph thing to see the different graphs, my computer completely locked up, frozen solid just like windoze, song still playing. :evil: (1.8G athlon, 1G ram)

no mouse, no kb, couldn't even ssh in from my laptop to kill it. i had to press the reset button on my computer for the first time since... since ever, i think. :shock: not only that, but even after pressing reset my comp wouldn't restart. i had to turn off and on the power supply switch in back and then start it.

so maybe it has some nice features, but imo it's trumped by the bloat. the bottom line is no more windozey amarok on my computer.

Phrodo_00 · 2006-11-27 14:50:25

rhythmbox. It's really nice to browse music that way, I guess I could use quod libet, but since rhythmbox already comes with gnome and it's nice and all and I can browse my mp3 player (although no put music in it yet) I haven't tried it.

PJ · 2006-11-27 16:41:57

I am still looking for a media player that isn't to basic and isn't to bloated, with a decent user interface, which I really find a bit hard to find. At the moment I am using rhythmbox. It works at least and it's the application which have come closest to my requirements but it doesn't mean that I am going to stay with it. I'll keep it for now...

Until recently I was using bmpx-svn which I do believe will became a interesting player ones it will be stable. But there was some issues with it which I couldn't stand at that moment.

One thing that I didn't like with bmpx is the use of bitmaps inside the gtk-application. It looks nice as long as all the other themes match the bmpx theme but as far as I know there doesn't seem to exist other themes for bmpx. Yes I know, it is still under development but that usually doesn't stop people from making unofficial themes. I haven't find any other themes but it could be because I didn't look at the right places.

The theme issue isn't the only thing I have a problem with when it comes to bmpx, but that is something I have fix at least for myself. If someone is interested in my quick and dirty theme please send a pm and I will try to email or upload it somewhere. I am doing it this way because I don't want to be responsible to be updating this theme in case the user interface changes, which it will probably do since it is under development.

I hope some of the problems will be fixed in a near future, then I might go back to using bmpx.

Original theme for bmpx-svn-8370-1.

A black version of the same theme.

japetto · 2006-11-29 14:34:38

MPD + Sonata. I am not sold on Sonata, but so far it seems like the best MPD Client I have tried yet.

elasticdog · 2006-11-29 21:10:43

I like Sonata as well, but have wondered why there isn't functionality to sort playlists when using MPD-based clients? I would think that would be a fairly standard use case...

[vEX] · 2006-11-29 21:27:17

Currently Audacious, previously XMMS, though I'm thinking of going back to XMMS or find another player since Audacious GUI isn't that responsive. Sometimes I have to click a button several times before it registers my click.

powerthunder · 2006-11-29 22:36:11

Currently mpd + sonata - ncmpc

kasa · 2006-11-30 13:28:12

Currently mpd + sonata, but I keep amaroK at hand for my iPod needs.

iphitus · 2006-11-30 14:28:28

mpd + sonata

and on my ipod, rockbox, so no more need for gtkpod or amarok. rockbox kicks ass.

Arch Linux
