Just tested Exaile, the CPU runs fine (17~25%), but it's a little more than Audacious (13~17%). But i can see crearly why is not an option for Lubuntu: it consumes 40mb Ram vs Audacious that consumes 17~18mb Ram Besides, for simplicity packages audacious are just 2... for exaile there are plenty of it (wich i don't know if it's a bad thing or not, but an app with just 2 packages seems simplier to me ;) -- jpxsat
