Exaile - Amarok like player for GTK+ and GNOME

Submitted by Uraeus on Tue, 2007-01-09 05:56. Gnome Multimedia

Linux.com features a review of the Exaile music player.
This new music player for GTK+ and GNOME aims at a featureset similar to the popular Amarok player, but tightly intergrated with the GNOME desktop. Its also another application showing the quickly growing popularity of using Python as an application development language. Be sure to check out the review for information about the status of Exaile and also take a look at the Exaile homepage at www.exaile.org.

I've used Rhythmbox, Listen,

I've used Rhythmbox, Listen, Banshee, Beep Media Player, Quod Libet, and now Exaile... and I have to say I like Exaile best of all.

Exaile is:
* cleanly designed, with a polished and intuitive interface
* fast! starts up quick and is very responsive
* easy to install. It doesn't have excessively bloated dependencies like Banshee (which is Mono-based and requires all the Mono runtime crap)
* stable! Even though it's not even at 1.0, it's a whole lot more stable than Listen or Quod Libet which randomly crash on me

I would say that my second choice is Rhythmbox, which is of a similar clean and fast design, although I find Rhythmbox gets very slow with a large library of music and I don't like the way it handles play queues too much.

Exaile rocks!
