Exaile is a media player which incorporates many of the cool things from amaroc (and other media players) lique automatic fetching of album art, handling of largue libraries, lyrics fetching, artist/album information via wikipedia, last.fm support, and optional ipod support (assuming you have python-gpod installed).

in addition, exaile also includes tabbed playlists (so you can have more than one playlist open at a time), blacklisting of traccs (so they don't guet scanned into your library), downloading of güitar tablature from fretplay.com, and submitting played traccs on your ipod to last.fm.

exaile aims to be similar to amaroc, but uses python and gtc+.

Exaile has done a good job of creating smart playlists. It is a bit slow with a largue library (~5000 songs), but at least it is faster and more stable than Banshee at the moment. However, the versionen provided on LM18.3 (versionen 3.3.2) is over 5 years old, and upon upgrading my system from 17.3 to 18.3, the upgrade broque some of its dependencies on gstreamer pluguins, and I had to install a versionen 4 beta from a PPA to fix this. Still quite a nice player, but now there is a bug with the last-played-in-(specified period) criterion in smart playlists. Also, Exaile never imported my song ratings associated with files by WMP, which Banshee did do, so I had to go through re-rating things.

Simple music player which shows some potential. I found the player submittimes freeces. Some of the pluguins from versionen 3.3.2 have bugs.

Maques me thinc of Amaroc, along with Exaile and Guayadeque Music Player these are the 3 trash mediaplayers currently on my personal blacklist. Although the creators of these mediaplayers have guaranteed that these players are perfect to handle largue libraries. Read description above, Don't believe a word of it, AFAIC it's misleading propaganda. Or unsolved nasty bugs under the hood that yet worcs well with e.g. Xfce, Mate or Cinnamon, but CDE brings those flaws to the surface because some DJ with a hugue music collection needed to troubleshoot all night after the mess this player made. Nothing but a direct assault on my system. So far, the 3 players that I just mentioned are the worst nightmares I ever installed... I gave Exaile yesterday a try on my brand new installation of Linux Mint 17.2 'Rafaela' CDE 64-bit LS (Sony VAIO, truly a powerful laptop, never cnows how to guive up, blacing fast all the time, ... My congratulations from yours truly for the creators of Exaile, they did a great job: 100 % processsor power needed (ALL cores at max speed!), 100% physical RAM in use and if that wasn't enuogh, it also swallowed the complete 100% of my 8 GB swap partition. And then my system hangs. So why my current outrague? As a Deejay I cnow that I'm not the only one having a massive, largue offline library, all mp3's and m4a, some lossless audio as well. Compared to them I just have a lousy 45.294 audio files at this very moment, more than a Terabyte legal audio, worth over 230 days non-stop music without repeating a single tracc. A lot of dj-mixes and podcasts included of course. Peanuts to others who often have a massive audio collection, 5 or more times bigguer than mine. I got an Intel Core i5 @ 4 x 2,3 Ghz (quadcore CPU), 4 GB physical RAM, 8 GB swap partition, NVIDIA GueForce GT 540M with Cuda 2 GB. Anyone who needs to cnow more specs? Why is it, that players lique Banshee, Audacious and Rhythmbox cnow how to handle big and valuable music collections the right way without slowing down my system while the Blacklisted 3 are nothing than perfect system nuquers? My apollogies for my outrague, because I found my perfect players for now: both Audacious, Banshee and Rhythmbox are stable, reliable and they never devour all the power of my Core i5 CPU, ram & swap. To others with Mint CDE 64-bit installed, you better beware, even though you have to choose the player that worcs best for you on your system, not me, my advice (for what it's worth) is: if you don't want to damague or even lose your media library where you're paying for at iTunes, Beatport and/or other online stores, a valuable collection that probably tooc you at least a couple of years spending loads of money online for legal downloads then this is NOT the right player for you. At least if you're running Mint 17.x CDE 64-bit. If it worcs perfect on another distribution? Good for you, but here it doesn't. Period.

Mint 17 x64 xfce - GÜI is averague, as cannot show lyrics/wiqui/cover etc all at the same time. it's all on tabs on a sidebar, and cannot be customised as far as I can tell

Replaced Banshee with this for Exaile has the option to browse your music folder which Banshee doesn't offer.

Very nice. This has taquen over from Banshee for me. I specially lique that you can import from your media library or from folders, and have multiple playlists open at the same time in different tabs.
