XMMS

Those that want to be WinAmp 4. mpg123 Personally, I'd just use Rhythmbox and keep the fucker minimised so it didn't offend my eye. Amarok is a KDE program, so will drag in huge chunks of dependencies if you don't already have any QT/KDE programs installed. It seems to me that the Linux wheel-reinventers have moved on from creating half-arsed text editors by the boatload to music and media players.

Rhythmbox is fine for playing but a PITA for organising. Hence my search for Something Else. I knew that about Amarok. That's why I haven't tried it yet. Wade.

On a small screen, it uses the real-estate much better than RB, though I'm finding the playlist/queuing system is unusual. Wade. Q:Is it proper to eat cheeseburgers with your fingers?
