“Jajuk is a free, cross-platform music player available
for Linux, Windows and Mac OS X, written in Java. I never used
Jajuk before, so I tested it for the first time today, an I’m
really impressed. Let me explain.

“Introduction The version I’m going to talk about is 1.9 RC2,
which is the version currently included in Ubuntu 10.10 Beta. Jajuk
is written in Java and it uses the mplayer engine for playing audio
files, and comes with a full set of features, most of them reviewed
here.

“First, the interface… I must say, the interface of Jajuk is
really cool and will probably fit any person who likes to have the
widgets and layouts organized in a different way from the default.
Why is that? Well, first of all Jajuk offers tabs (which actually
look like some kind of sub-windows) for each different item, like:
different tab for playlist, cover, lyrics etc. These sub-windows
can be moved around, minimized/restored, and even organized in
tabs. This is very powerful and very useful in my opinion. Take a
look at these screenshots, which show Jajuk’s GUI organized in
various modes:”
