On behalf of the Rhythmbox developers, I'm proud to announce the newest release of the Rhythmbox 0.9 series, which includes a large number of fixes, improvements and new features.

Notable new features include:

  • Further improvements to plugin infrastructure and more plugins
  • Tag writing and ipod-write support turned on by default. Note that gst-plugins-good 0.10.4 is recommended for ID3 tag editing, and Ogg Vorbis tag editing requires a plugin from the cvs version of gst-plugins-base
  • Local file support for album art plugin
  • Gnome-keyring support for storing DAAP password
  • and many, many more improvements, bug fixes and new minor features. See
    below details.

For large collection (>20,000 for me), gmusicbrowser is the fastest, I tested them all : rhythmbox, amarok, banshee, quod libet, listen, exaile... Gmusicbowser is very different from the others, it's not made for everyone, but it's much more powerful and very customizable. My favorite feature is the "lock" to temporaly resrict the playlist to songs from the current artist/album, you can switch it on and off with just one click :-). It also has the best mass tagging dialog IMHO.
