Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Possible additions / changes
Pmount makes sense but I tried gmusicbrowser and it is nether a lightweight music player like lxmusic which I think should remain the default nor a full music library like exaile which I think should be a recommended option for those who want to mange a music library and not just play the odd song. The main issue I had with gmusicbrowser was that it seemed to take over my CPU and it didn't seem as complete and user-friendly as exaile anyway.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Possible additions / changes
The only problem I could see with exaile is its dependency on gstreamer. Since mplayer is the default movie player for lubuntu it makes sense to utilize mplayer as the backend to handle music playing to avoid adding unneeded libraries to the overall system.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Possible additions / changes
The combination of gnome-mplayer as a multimedia player for everything and xmms2 + lxmusic for music management would be the best combination for the future. If xmms2 and lxmusic won't become stable or good enough, we can always stick to aqualung. As we are creating an LXDE based Distribution we should stick to something developed by the LXDE guys, because this will help them to improve there apps. (more testers - more bug reports - better software). So lxmusic should be definitely be in.

lxmusic does seem perfect hopefully the bugs get worked out The combination of gnome-mplayer as a multimedia player for everything and xmms2 + lxmusic for music management would be the best combination for the future.

No problem for me without pmount, it's strange that it doesn't work for you. Also, we should wait the new pcmanfm before adding such depends. the second would be to replace the music player with gmusicbrowser since you can use mplayer as its backend, it has many interfaces and handles large music libraries very well and it super lightweight... these were the first things i changed when installing lubuntu for a friend.. Please see my previous mail about default applications. But I didn't know there is a music player with mplayer backend. I tried it a bit and it's pretty nice. It uses more RAM that aqualung but the CPU usage is really low.
