    Irony: every major version after 1.4 has been worse than it

    I've been quite happy using Audacious in Lubuntu compared to say in the past when i've tried Clementine and Amarok and I found they both felt bloated almost like iTunes for windows.

    I've found Gmusicbrowser and it suits my needs much better than any player I've seen. Fast with a huge library, random rules, cuztomiable interface and great popup window to control it.
