What do you use to play your Tunez?

QuimaxW · 2006-12-16 15:09:24

I had to post, as no one else has mentioned Kaffeine.

Yes, I'm a Suse convert, but Kaffeine is simple. I don't need a database to organize my music, as I've had it organized in files and folders for years. I simply need something that I can drop a folder onto and it plays. It also has the ability for all of my videos, streaming audio and streaming video, and it runs well. I also like that I can have *one* player app on my system that does everything, and seems to do everything pretty well.

Now if only I could uninstall the rest of the KDE apps I don't want...

EDIT: The man hosts didn't tell me whether it was right or wrong. I must suck at reading man pages. It basically talked about how it used to be used before DNS was there and about the uses it still has. Of course it also showed the format to enter in the hosts.

No worries...I have been confused by that before as well, and re-reading it now, I agree that the man page doesn't really describe multiple host names very well. It seems like many programs won't work if localhost isn't in the file, and other programs won't work if your machine's name isn't in the file; luckily putting them both does solve the issues. I couldn't tell from your description of the changes, but you don't need two create separate entries, you can just put them on the same line...here's mine to demonstrate:

127.0.0.1       localhost.localdomain   localhost   halcyon

Glad you got it figured out...mpd is a wonderful thing

Amarok here. Mainly because of the integration of Music Management, podcast feed subscriptions, iPod reading/writing, and the Magnatune interface.

I use Banshee. it looks awesome, and i've been involved with the banshee team since early 0.10 times [well, not coding wise but using it] and I don't mind that its written in Mono because, meh. it works and very nicely integrates into my gnome desktop. I do use AmaroK with KDE, and occasionally when i get bored with Banshee, run MPD/ncmpc

smk · 2007-01-12 07:02:33

I use mpd +ncmpc.

AlexW · 2007-01-12 14:33:01

I used to use amarok but I've found mpd + sonata-svn is more to my tastes. That said, I still use amarok for steaming online-radio as mpd doesn't have aac support & I like to save the stations some badwidth by using that.

Audacious for listening to streams from netlabes etc. for convenience.

MPD has aac support AFAIK..

I use MPD+MPC.

Yep, but not streaming aac unfortunately ( http://mpd.wikia.com/wiki/Music_Player_ … leshooting )

You can't even spell it correctly :oops:

tockar · 2007-01-16 23:26:27

Mpd + Sonata/Gimmix, sometimes Audacious.

Roberth · 2007-01-17 00:24:09

Amarok

Are there any music players other than quodlibet that let you display custom tags in the library view columns? This is why I like quodlibet -- alot of Oggs files I have use Composer or Ensemble comments, and I can't sort by them in any other player

meqif · 2007-01-17 22:45:47

mpd + ( sonata || ncmpc )

This should be a poll. Looks like there's as many people using mpd as there are using amaroK. (Sorry if my English isn't making any sense, I'm quite tired)

i really like beep, but now that i read a bit more about mpd.. i'm getting awfully interested. it seems like mpd with the curses client.. (ncmpc??) would be really nifty. i think i'll give it a go this weekend.

mpd and pygmy

How does XMMS2 compare with mpd, or are they even comparable? I currently use mpd and love it, but I'm always up for trying new things, especially oss. Thanks.

I'm waiting for Dr.Jekyll, then will probably switch from MPD

XMMS2 eats more cpu process than mpd does to my experience

Well that doesn't sound good. Another question about mpd, why do three instances of mpd startup?
