There is a deb available here, although it is not as up to date and you won`t be able to test the new features as they become available.

This is an excellent piece of software, please check it out.

Updated here as well.

Guayadeque is by far the best player I've seen on Ubuntu for LARGE libraries. Really like this player an awful lot!

Thanks anonbeat.

Just for curiosity can you tell me the memory usage with this collection?

btw the same can be done in last.fm panel. You can hide the different sections by double clicling over the section title.

CPU usage hovers between 2% and 7%. Toipping out at 10% every now and then.

This is a very good player just need to support devices, rip CDs, and write to my MP5 player, and of course link songs to youtube and it will be as good as Atunes with less resources.
