media player on linux

[droenn]

I think there was a thread on this before, but I couldn't find it.

I've just switched over to linux (Ubuntu because I wanted to get into it quickly and easily) and now need a replacement for foobar. The banshee media player that's packaged with it is OK, but was wondering if there's a more audiophile-centered program?

Everything else is sweet though, loving how sleek Ubuntu is now (I tried it a few years back and found it cumbersome).

or
Amarok via package manager
Amarok will require kde dependencies, just let then install if you fancy Amarok

or in terminal

1 sudo add-apt-repository ppa:alexey-smirnov/deadbeef
2 sudo apt-get update
3 sudo apt-get install deadbeef

Bueno, muchas gracias.

forgot to mention Clementine, when Amarok went into the 2.x versions the project forked and Clementine was born retaining the 1.4 version traits

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:me-davidsansome/clementine
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install clementine

The best thing about this program is the "kittens" feature which makes all the album art pictures of cats

there's also http://www.tomahawk-player.org/ now. Had a look at the windows version of it and it's promising but still fairly early stages yet.

and a new one being developed Guayadeque

I tried Guayadeque and didn't like it much. Can't remember why.

I'm actually using Subsonic a lot at the moment. It lets me stream my home music collection to anywhere over the web.
