Exaile - Music Player for Gtk+
Written by BinnyVA on January 7, 2008 – 11:12 pm -
Exaile an amarok clone for Gnome - and I have to admit - I am impressed.
Exaile is a music player aiming to be similar to KDE’s Amarok, but for GTK+ and written in Python. It incorporates many of the cool things from Amarok (and other media players) like automatic fetching of album art, handling of large libraries, lyrics fetching, artist/album information via Wikipedia, Last.fm submission support, and optional iPod support via a plugin.
Features
It has many features that make amarok great…
- Automatic fetching of album art
- Handling large music libraries
- Lyrics fetching
- Fetches Artist/Album information from Wikipedia
And some features that amarok does not have…
- Tabbed playlist interface
- Song Blacklist Manager
Disadvantages
- I could not find the Global Hotkeys feature
Download
If you want to try exaile, you can download exaile and install it yourself.
