Well, I'm a Fluxbox user, but I'd vote for MPD (http://musicpd.org/) and Sonata (http://sonata.berlios.de/) as a pretty GTK+ client.

Until I recently came to the conclusion that there isn't this one particularly good desktop environment. On the contrary, some Apps are good in KDE, while others just rock in Gnome. So i compiled KDE from ports. To answer your question: - Quod Libet and Rythmbox both had problems with my setup: Older machine, audio library being mounted via NFS. Both didn't manage to scan the library fast enough. This is not to say, that both needed more than 2,5 hours or crashed. Python based players aren't an option for me, especially when they rescan the entire library on startup. - xmms and bmp(x) don't behave correctly. They have a window management on their own. This is just bad, especially when you're on a tiled WM just as ion3, wmii... - I like cmus one the command line. Needs a bit to get used to it, but you'll love it if you love vi. - Right know I'm using Amarok (yes, the KDE audio player). I like listening to Podcasts and Internet radio streams, and both are handled quite nicely.

I use Quod Libet nowadays, though, since it handles my music collection than Banshee does (or used to, anyway). Rhythmbox has apparently improved a lot, though I haven't used it in a while. I'd recommend Quod Libet, though. bma signature.asc Description: Digital signature

FreeBSD is a bit behind the times in this regard, considering that xmms (1.x branch) hasn't seen much development action in quite a few months. Audacious, a port of the 1.x tree BMP source is a good, solid player. It's based on xmms, so if simplicity is a must, this player has it in spades. Plus, one of the nicer features of audacious over xmms is that it uses gstreamer for its plugin system, which means the number of plugins available for use with audacious is higher than xmms. Besides, faad2 (m4a, aac) support is better with the non-xmms plugin, so I will happily take audacious over xmms since I prefer mp4 formatted files over mp3. BMP-2 is pretty ghetto right now (still highly under development and is buggy), and BMP-1 isn't that great. I was pleased though when I found out about audacious. -Garrett ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
