rhythmbox for windows

[pacofvf]

At work I have to use windows ... but I have replaced all my apps with open-source alternatives but i'm missing rhythmbox :'( , I've tried songbird but rhythmbox is the best music player(from my point of view). any chance of making a windows version? , I know it is possible, pidgin for windows is the proof...

Shouldn't you be asking the people in charge of the project? Maybe make a feature request? I don't think you'd be able to get them to make a Windows version, though.

Unfortunately Rhythmbox development is pretty much dead, I doubt anyone would port it to windows.

if they let you install programs at work, then install ubuntu via wubi.

First Gstreamer will need to be ported, which Rhythmbox depends on. Here's a little attempt to do that (still in BETA!): https://code.google.com/p/ossbuild/

If you like rhythmbox, I'm sure you will love banshee as it is much better. I used to be a fan of rhythmbox, but now I wouldn't go back. On the plus side, banshee is available for Windows.

Sorry, I really don't want to start any dispute here, but: no. Just definitely not. This is personal taste, but Rhythmbox fits my wishes in a music program much better, is more intitively to use and offers more flexibility. As with any matter of personal taste, you can not argue about it, but I am sure I am not the only one thinking like this.

As for a good music player on Windows: try Winamp. Be sure to install it without the bloatware usually bundled with the free version, but it's a very good and powerful player, loads of plugins available.

Rhythmbox is dead? Why is it going to be default in 12.04 then?

I don't know where you get your intel from days_of_ruin?
