thanks in advance... lukey.
Full Version: mp3 / Flac software for linux
did you have a look at the debian section of www.rarewares.org ? do so.
i am currently using amarok for kde - damn slow though, and rhythmbox for gtk, e.g. gnome. (>>ubuntu)
u can, too, use xmms with appropriate plugins.. dont' know wheter there is one database-plugin ...
hope this helps.
edit: forgot to mention: lamip!!

amarok and rhytmbox are th 2 most popular
also there is Juk...which is developed by the KDE team
and my personal favorites....xmms, then cplay...which is a small CLI based player that is very powerful and easy to use
that being said though....i'm sure there are many more choices out there in the open source community
edit: can't forget beep media player....or bmp for short....it's similar to xmms but uses a newer version of the gtk libraries

to sum it up: use rhythmbox with gnome and amarok, better juk with kde if you want to have a library. dunno for sure but I think rhythmbox can do gapless and replaygain CMIIW!
BTW: there IS a search-function... have a look - it works!

Are you absolutely sure Rhythmbox supports gapless? I wonder... because it uses GStreamer.
If it would be right... then I'm switching.
Currently using Quod Libet. Supports almost everything, except... gapless playback. :-(
I'm using MPD (daemon, playing in background) and GMPC (Gnome Music Player Client, GUI frontend to it). I made a patch for MPD to support of replay gain in mp3 files (in ID3v2 tags only, not APEv2), and it also support gapless playback by itself.
Very handy if you will use separate tagger (EasyTag for example) and Replay Gain scaner (see my script).
