Really???? :-O

I'm downloading it now then


EDIT: They should replace Rhythmbox with Exaile. Far better, and better looking. Great job. Finally a GTK player that's worth it. Great great great. I don't know what else to say...

Can anyone give me a full guide in installing Exaile from the requisites and then installing Exaile. I tried to install but I it is always the old Exaile that is installed.

you can get the newest version in Add/Remove programs. Also if you run
sudo apt-get install exaile
it should install the latest version in the repos.

Just go to the program's homepage www.exaile.org and download the package that's there for your system. It has both for gutsy and feisty. If you lack any dependencies they will be installed automatically.

Great app , I noticed that using exaile on a large database raises the memory footprint.

I have > 10 GB music and a constant 40 MB ram

that's normal, exaile stores a large part of the db in ram, so the more music you have, the more ram it will use.

shouldnt the rating be stored in the ogg or mp3's id3 data? i know some players (like banshee) don't store id3 tags right (just like most photo managers suck at exif *looks at f-spot*) and just throw the info in their own db instead of doing it right

Rhythmbox stores it an XML which has all the info on your collection. So I was hoping Exaile would be able to read it.

Misread; was responding to your post and reading another which really pressed upon Amarok. Anyway, it's already been pointed out that you don't have to play songs to rate them. Why not alter Exaile's default theme or functionality to suit your needs? Or at least make a feature request?

That method would give me arthritis. I will check other themes.

It's just that I was really impressed with the layout and look of Exaile, but its a pain to convert the collection from Rhythmbox.

That said I fear like other Gnome apps this will become dead when the developer loses interest. This is where KDE has a better community development environment.


I am still waiting for Google to develop a music player that uses Labels, because the Genre tag field is so limiting.
