Exaile:The best Media player!

Dark Star · 13-08-2007, 09:52 AM

Exaile is a music player aiming to be similar to KDE's Amarok, but for GTK+ and written in Python. It incorporates many of the cool things from Amarok (and other media players) like automatic fetching of album art, handling of large libraries, lyrics fetching, artist/album information via Wikipedia, Last.fm submission support, and optional iPod support via a plugin.

In addition, Exaile also includes a built-in SHOUTcast directory browser, tabbed playlists (so you can have more than one playlist open at a time), blacklisting of tracks (so they don't get scanned into your library), downloading of guitar tablature from fretplay.com, and submitting played tracks on your iPod to Last.fm.

Exaile 0.2.10

Plugin Manager improvements – you can now install plugins from within the plugin manager
Scriptable Radio Panel – People will be able to write plugins for your favorite streaming service. (currently shoutcast is available)
Lots of new translations
New music sharing plugin – you can share your music with people using iTunes or other people using Exaile

Banshee is tad better than Exaile, Its based on GTK too.

Its in the Official Repositories, So you can just add it through Add/Remove (OR apt-get install banshee)

c'mon there are loads of s/w for various distros....many are similar and some have extra features....newbies reading all these can get confused.....I suggest newbies shud just try the one that is default installed,and then try others after some time....
