music-player

There are a lot of good music players out there - exaile, banshee, amarok etc. but when it comes to searching through large music collections and by large I mean thousands of songs with a lot of metadata, the results are not always satisfactory . I usually end up selecting the song through a file browser. GMusicBrowser is an audio player built for Music Fanatics, capable of handling large music collections(> 10,000 songs).

As long as we are talking about audio players, I always suggest Amarok, but most people are not looking for an all in on solution. They just want to play a few songs or play list sometimes and hence require only a simple and light audio player which can do all of it. Muine is one such music player for Gnome.

When you are working on low spec machines or really old computers, you always try to avoid using heavy applications. But sometimes even the most necessary ones consume a lot of resources. A few months ago, I was stuck with a really old desktop and had to go for some of the lowest resource consuming applications. MOC, Music on console, was my Music player alternative.
