I asked for all opinions, but I need to answer here before my thread gets
hijacked. I DON'T WANT GUI-less operation, I don't want random playback. I
really do appreciate your response, but what I'm after is the best possible mp3
player GUI for managing the creation and manipulation of playlist driven
playback.
The only possible reason I have for replying here is to avoid getting all
thouse responses from folks who don't like GUIs. Hell, I'm usually in that
camp, but not this time. The suggestion I got for musicpd is a player with lots
of hooks into GUIs (according to the email) but my playback already works
excellently, what I'm after is the GUI, not the server.
I've had some great suggestions so far. I think I'll go try amarok
first, and maybe rhythmbox next. You folks are REALLY helpful,
thanks!!
Sorry, I didn't mean to hijack your thread!
Amarok is very popular and is a good choice, despite what someone said
about the latest version having a case of featuritis. The older 1.4
version from ports is quite good. A little heavier in resource usage
than rhythmbox or exaile, but it's a solid implementation with no
missing features.
It handles my favorite podcasts correctly too, so there's no need to
pair it with PenguinTV. And it includes an equalizer, something I've
sorely missed in Rhythmbox and Exaile.
I had some m3u playlists with bad path info for some of the tracks. Wih
amarok, I was able to drag the track from my "Collection" and drop it in
the imported playlist. The m3u file was automatically updated with the
correct info. Now that's cool!
