Linux Players?
« on: November 24, 2003, 03:24:07 pm »

Just wondering what people were using as a jukebox on the Linux side of things?  Anyone have any suggestions?

XMMS...

That's something like Winamp. I don't really like Winamp and XMMS and I'm not using Linux anymore.

I just prefer the software that's available on Windows, there is so much more GOOD software like Media Center.  :D

Yup i agree, and i have many musepack encoded files and to play them in linux is very difficult. Windows is much more suported to software houses and it's better to use it at home, if you want a server them i advice linux but to music  :-\

I've been using Rhythmbox (http://rhythmbox.org/) which seems to work pretty well.  It organizes your library and plays files using either xmms (see above) or Gstreamer.  I still miss the smoothness of MC or iTunes when Linuxing however.  Make sure you install all the dependent modules.

Another product out there is DigitalDJ (http://nostatic.org/ddj/) which seems pretty good as well although I was unable to get it to work on my machine.  It interfaces with one of the better Linux ripper/encoders, grip (http://nostatic.org/grip/) through an MySQL database.  Again it seems great except I could not get it up and running.
