  I was bitching about Linux music players so much I forgot to mention the two I actually have used recently. One is Quod Libet. Rough UI-wise, but somewhat interesting. I use Rhythmbox for day to day listening. I had some issues with some plugins crashing but they must have fixed that at some point. Both have a "queue". Quod Libet also has a sister program called Ex Falso dedicated just editing files' metadata (tags). http://www.sacredchao.net/quodlibet/...

I've done more than my fair share of banging my head against keyboards when things don't work right, and I'm convinced: simplicity is a virtue. My alarm clock is mpg123 and a cron job. Maybe I'm just Amish or something....

  Is terribly and sadly ironic that a website that is constantly going about protecting freedoms in general chooses to promote a piece of software that supports a development platform that has the potential to make us less free when it comes to choice. Or didn't Boing-Boing read and reported about Mr Ballmer's patent threaths uttered against anything Linux? Amarok (and other apps) is less liable to such spurious claims (put aside that many people consider it technically superior), even though when it comes to software patents any outlandish claims may find their way in the annals of legal verity.
